Ok, where should i begin? My name is Steve and I've just married my soulmate Claudia. We've been together for 4 years now and married 4 years to the day that we met (not planned by the way). I am in the Army stationed in Germany, she's a German national. I am currently deployed to Iraq and won't be home for about another 5 months. The kicker is that when I return to Germany, my unit will be disbanding and moving back to the states in approximately 6 months. We've had quite a bit of time separated now as this is my second deployment to Iraq and we do year long deployments, I'm looking for the best visa to apply for that will allow us to travel to the states together when it is time for me to rotate back. And one that will allow her to work soon after we arrive to the states. This is all quite confusing as to which visa to apply for K-1, K-3, IR1/CR1, or go directly to the embassy in Germany since I only have a short time before I will receive orders to leave Germany. One other thing she will be on the orders that the Army cuts for me to travel with me and they military will be paying for her travel whether she has a visa or not. Please help!!!!! :wacko:

Lost In Iraq? :unsure:

You cannot do the K-1 as it is for unmarried couples, planning a marriage in the US.

So K-3 or IR-1/CR-1 are your only options

Other then that I cannot be much help.
