I'm wondering what the time frame is to complete and ubmit the green card application.  I've started working on it and have already paid the fees and had the casae transferred to the embassy in Frankfurt, Germany, but the application forms are very difficult to undersatnd how to fill out even after reading all the instrutions and asking for help in this forum, I'm just not making very fast progress.  As long as I log in once a month can I take  few years to complete this, or is there some kind of deadline I need to be aware of?

Once you have complete everything to NVC's satisfaction, NVC will schedule your interview.......Then, the case will be transferred to the appropriate consult.  Your case can remain at NVC indefinitely as long as you are contacting them.

I'm not seeing the relationship of your answer to my question?

I can't seem to edit my post so I'll just restate my question.


I already have been transferred to an embassy and paid the fees.

 

Now I'm just working on the applicaiton.  I want to know how long I have to complete my application if there is any deadline at all.

I said that there is no timeline as the case can remain at NVC indefinitely as long as you are working on the case.  You might consider seeking professional help from someone familiar with the forms.  It should not normally take years.  Good luck on the rest of the journey.

Something is wrong, takes maybe a few hours to fill the forms in.

You haven’t been transferred to an embassy, as @Crazy Cat said that won’t happen until you’ve been DQ’ed at NVC and an interview has been scheduled for you. You can check your case status on CEAC to see where it is. 

 

I agree with the above, maybe professional help is the way to go? I did 4 DS-260’s for myself and my family and it took me an afternoon, if you’re struggling then maybe paying somebody to help would be well worth the investment. 
 

Good luck.
