Hey!

We started the CR-I process this months.

Now, my husband decided to give up his job and come to Germany for a year. I dont want to stopp the process right now because I am afraid something will happen and he wont stay for 6 months so that we can do the DCF instead.

If he really found an awesome job I could see him staying here for longer than a year (maybe 2 years?). Would it be possible to fly to the States when I get the visa in the end and then get a reentry permit?

What would you recommend?

There is so much I have to get ready right now so I would really be happy about any help I can get!!!

Thanks in advance!

I believe you have a year from the time your petition gets to NVC to provide the documents they need and pay the I-864. Double check with them and don't stop the Cr-1 yet.

In this recession-driven economy, giving up a job is plain stupid (not smart, very risky, financially irresponsible), unless there's another, better job waiting already. Few people find themselves in such a favorable position.

My wife had a great job, but wanted to pursue her dream of being self-employed, so right before we got married, she quit her job and opened her own business in the same field in which she has great expertise. In the past 3-1/4 years we've been pumping money into that business, her lost wages included about $150,000 so far, money we will never get back.

I know two more people among our friends who quit their jobs, both with great skills and long seniority, both assuming they won't have any problems finding another one. Both are unemployed to this day.

Getting married is a life-changing event. I wouldn't want to spoil that experience by adding unemployment in a foreign country to it.

Just my 2 cents . . .

There is no room in this country for hyphenated Americanism. When I refer to hyphenated Americans, I do not refer to naturalized Americans. Some of the very best Americans I have ever known were naturalized Americans, Americans born abroad. But a hyphenated American is not an American at all . . . . The one absolutely certain way of bringing this nation to ruin, of preventing all possibility of its continuing to be a nation at all, would be to permit it to become a tangle of squabbling nationalities, an intricate knot of German-Americans, Irish-Americans, English-Americans, French-Americans, Scandinavian-Americans or Italian-Americans, each preserving its separate nationality, each at heart feeling more sympathy with Europeans of that nationality, than with the other citizens of the American Republic . . . . There is no such thing as a hyphenated American who is a good American. The only man who is a good American is the man who is an American and nothing else.

@Just Bob. I dont need help on the decision. Thanks for your 2 cents though

You dont know our life and dont know our plans about work etc.

We can live without his income so it wont be a disaster and it is not stupid.
