Meinst du deine deutschen Steuern? Da gibts eigentlich nichts zu beachten vorallem wenn du hier nichts verdient hast. Ganz normal ausfuellen wie immer nur das das Enddatum halt nicht der 31. Dezember sondern eben ein anderes ist ( das muss man doch auf der einen Seite angeben wo man alles vom Verdienst eintraegt). Ich hab in dem Anschreiben ans Finanzamt kurz meine Situation erklaert ( ausgewandert, geheiratet, Mann nie in Deutschland steuerpflichtig daher keine Steuernummer fuer ihn vorhanden... ) und es hat alles geklappt. 

Ich meine das kam von der IV Unit vom Konsulat in Frankfurt.

Super, danke dir! Werde mich gleich dran machen :)

Oh und gib denen ne deutsche Adresse an die sie den Steuerbescheid schicken koennen. Ich hab naemlich nen Brief bekommen das der Bescheid nicht an meine alte Adresse zugestellt werden konnte ( ernsthaft? Warum hab ich denn meine neue angegeben 🙈 ).

Scheinbar koennen sie den Bescheid nicht ins Ausland schicken, warum auch immer.

Hast du zufällig noch die E-Mail und kannst sagen von welcher adresse / mit welchem Betreff sie kam? Ich werde langsam nervös dass ich sie verpasse oder sie im Spam landet wenn das wirklich die einzige Mitteilung ist...

Ich meine das kam von der IV Unit vom Konsulat in Frankfurt.

Also von FrankfurtIV@state.gov? Hat irgendwer noch den genauen Betreff / eine Beispiel-Email?

So most of us know what this for is right?.....so we trying to be proactive while waiting  for resumption of K1 processing at the Frankfurt Embassy. My questions is.....Do we just fill in 

(city town)  (Province) (country) (from-to dates) as opposed to filling out the actual addresses ?   My fiance has lived in 4 countries so far and numerous address in Germany. Is it the countries they want or just the addresses ?

Thanks in advance

I filled it in exactly as they asked, every city i had lived in for at least 6 months from age 16 on. Fill in backwards from current city of residence all the way down to where your fiance lived when he was 16 years old. They didn't ask for an address so I didn't write it down. However, I think I had already filled in all the addresses when filling out the DS-160 if I remember correctly. Provide police records for each country listed excluding the US. And before he requests the police record for his current country of residence I would suggest to wait until you are sure to receive this letter soon, because the police record for that country has a short validity period. But of course it can't hurt to already chase down police records for all the countries he is not visiting anymore.

Did it precisely as explained here. Only since I had more than a dozen residences to list I made a separate sheet that I printed and wrote into the form they provided to refer to that additional sheet. Still waiting for word after sending it in though so not sure if they deemed it OK or not.

 Hallo,

meine Mail kam von ustraveldocs und hatte folgenden Betreff + Inhalt:

Request to schedule has been approved

XXX has been approved to schedule a Fiancé(e) K-1 visa.  Please log back into your account to continue scheduling.

 

Das war alles, kurz und knapp.

Your request for interview is approved?  Really? Did you do anything exceptional or put in any request to expedite?

@Sparkle Sparkle

I got that mail back in February and scheduled my Interview for March, which then was cancelled due to Covid 😞

Jöla only asked if someone remembers the exact subject line of that mail, if I got that right?!

I know Frankfurt is very efficient... Hopefully they clear backlog and consider accepting new cases from NVC by November... This wait is just emotionally draining.

Huhu zusammen,

 

ich hoffe, es geht euch allen gut!

 

Nach 3 Monaten mehr oder weniger erfolgreicher Jobsuche habe ich diese Woche angefangen, als selbstständige Unternehmensberaterin zu arbeiten. Die Firma, in der mein Mann arbeitet, brauchte spontan einen Project Manager für 4-6 Wochen, und da ich verfügbar war und mir die ganze Situation hier mit Corona, Politik usw. ziemlich auf den Keks ging, habe ich ein bisschen Abwechslung im Alltag begrüßt. Es arbeiten nur 50 Leute dort, wovon 80% an ihn berichten, d.h. wir arbeiten schon recht eng zusammen. Das war die ersten Tage etwas seltsam, aber man gewöhnt sich dran. Am 2. Tag wollten sie wissen, ob wir uns vorstellen können, dass ich als Festangestellte dort arbeite und was meine Gehaltsvorstellungen sind ;) Diese Diskussion werde ich noch ein paar Wochen hinauszögern, da ich mir erst anschauen will, wie sich das auf unsere Ehe auswirkt und weil ich als Freiberufler wesentlich mehr verlangen kann :D Wenn ich richtig recherchiert habe, muss ich dem IRS einmal im Quartal meine Einkünfte melden (nach allen Ausgaben) und dann 15,3% Steuern zahlen. Hat jemand Erfahrung damit?

 

Wo wir schon beim Thema Steuererklärung sind: Am Freitag ist Deadline für das Steuerjahr 2019 (für die meisten Leute). Sitze gerade drüber und bin froh, wenn ich es von der To Do Liste streichen kann.

 

Habt ein schönes Wochenende und bleibt gesund!
