Petitioners move to the beneficiarys country due to a hirement

[djamella 5]

Hello everybody ...

what will happen to our visa process if my husband (petitioner living in the USA) would move to Germany (beneficiarys country)

due to a hirement regarding a GS job?

Does anybody know how they or we should handle a possible upcoming situation like this?

Thank you in advance ... hopefully I didnt post this in the wrong section again

As long as he keeps an address in the US, I think it would be ok if he came to Germany. The thing is, once you get your visa, you have 6 months to move to the US otherwise it is invalid. Also, if you choose to stop the process now, you don't get any money back, and you'll have to pay the same fees in the future.

Thank you for the reply,

he did work in his GS job here before, so that is not the problem. I also know that the visa once issued is valid for 6 months ... we are wondering what will happen if the entire family will have to move back to germany once he gets hired from here .... what will happen to my visa, cause I read on here that once I enter the USA with an immigrant visa, I would have to stay ... at least not leave for more than a couple of weeks in the year ....

Normally, you would need to spend more time inside the USA than outside. However, if your husband is with the military or an official government contractor, there are ways around that.

Thank you Queen ;-))

Yes, he is official goverment contractor ... and of course in case of a move we would live here, more out than inside the USA .. thats the problem.

Ways around it ? What could this be?
