US Immigration from Germany

Hello there,

my fianc and I are getting married in June 2021. We currently live in Germany and we try to move to the US in June. Now with Covid we are unsure about the wedding being placed in America. We already talked about having a civil wedding in Germany and move afterwards. I tried to research a little bit in advance but couldn t figure out what would be the best option. As I understand it s easier to get the K1 and get married in America instead of having a civil wedding in Germany. Is that correct?
My fianc wants to travel back home next year in January to get everything going (Job, living situation...)
All the forms and applications are confusing. Maybe there is someone else with the same situation right now or has been there recently who can help us.

I m thankful for any help and sorry if that topic has already been talked about and I couldn t figure out where to find it.

Stay safe

My parents arrived in the US in June 2020, they check marked SSN processing on their DHS application and despite many calls to SSA offices, their SSN application at port of entry probably has been lost due to technical glitch between DHS and SSA systems. Many phone calls to SSA have been producing conflicting information about them needing to go in person to SSA office as first time immigrants to apply for SSN once they reopen, some say they can apply by mail, some say they can t apply by mail. What is the best way for them to get a SSN so they can apply for drivers license, get bank accounts etc? Also, if they still have no SSN by next year, how the hell can they submit a tax return? As green card holders they re not eligible for ITIN.

Hi everyone,

I'm not sure if this topic has been opened but I couldn't find a relating discussion.

Does anyone have any experience with travelling (flying) within the US while being in the AOS process? All we have right now are our NOA's and still no biometrics.

We are not trying to travel anywhere right now due to the pandemic but would like to know if I would get stopped at the airport with my husband and have any problems.

Hello everyone, hope all is well.
I just have a question regarding our K1 visa. We have been in administrative processing for 18 months. We have gotten an update on ceac on September 1st then again today on September 3rd. I was just wondering what it means when you case keeps on updating on ceac. Anyone have any ideas or suggestions.
thank you.
