Filing l-751 while my husband(USCitizen) is working as an Overseas Contractor In Afghanistan

[Cryshia 0]

Hi Everyone! I hope you can help me with my situation. I'm about to file my l-751 (To remove conditions on my green card) this coming November 2012. My main concern is that currently my husband (US Citizen) is working as an overseas civilian contractor in Afghanistan and they work in the Military base. On the form there's a question " 10.)Is your spouse currently serving with or employed by the U.S. Government and serving outside the United States?. Do I need to answer it as a Yes or No? If yes, do I need to provide certain documentations that shows he is working overseas? Can I file for removal of conditions even though he is not here in US? Please help :-(

Is he currently employed by the US government while working overseas? If he is, the answer is yes. if he's not, it's not. Pretty simple.

You can file the I-751 without him here, in either event BUT: If he IS employed by the US government then he is exempt from the interview (if you get one).

If he ISN'T employed by the US government, and you get an interview, he will need to return for the interview.

tricky question as you say he's a civilian contractor, that may not be employed directly by the govenment. you may want to ask him these questions as the job he's in may be purely civilian. I'm a vet so I know a litte about the differences.

I think everyone does... my husband is a Vet.

1. He is either hired by the government directly and gets a pay check from them;

2. He is hired by a company that has a contract with the government and the company gives him his check (and the government pays the company); or

3. He is hired by a company that just has permission to work on base/site, but has no government contract/affiliation

if he's #1, he's a "yes" to Qn 10. If he's #2 or #3, it's a no and he needs to be back for the (possible) I-751 interview.

Thank you so much for all of your replies! My husband is hired by a company that has a contract with the government and his company is the one who gives his check. Quite tricky...I'll just say "No" and send over the form to my husband in Afghanistan so he can sign it before I passed my documents to USCIS. And on Part 4 Spouse information, can I just give our residence address here in California not his address in Afghanistan?
