US Immigration from Germany

Hey everyone! So all our documents were submitted to NVC on July 4th. On July 16th, we got an email from NVC saying that they needed the divorce decree from marriage #1. (Mike is marriage #4, no judgements please)

Anyways when I provided all my documents to my attorney's office almost 2 years ago, I forgot to scan in the first page of my divorce decree to husband #1. The paralegal handling my case caught it and I sent it to her.

Well when she uploaded my divorce decrees, she didn't add the first page to it. I am beyond livid about this.

My question is am I gonna be stuck waiting almost another 2 weeks for them to DQ us now because of her error? Or since we already were under review will they just go ahead and check it?

Hi together,

Not sure if this is a topic for General or the CR1 subthread, so Mods please move if necessary.

I entered the US on April 15 on CR1.

My understanding was that the Greencard is being mailed to the address on file with USCIS / provided during the NVC stage. I paid the ~230$ back in January, right after my interview at Frankfurt Consulate.

Today we got an I-797 with pretty short notice, to appear at a local USCIS service center this coming Friday to take biometrics. I'm a little confused - is this standard procedure?

I thought they took all biometrics in Frankfurt and we provided the passport picture.

Has anyone had similar experience and can share some insight? It's just not what I expected so I'm a bit confused and worried.

Thank you!

Forgive me if this has been asked before but how long does it take NVC to issue your interview date after you have been DQ'd?

My husband and I are about 3 months shy of our 2 year wedding anniversary so we are trying to time things out perfectly so that his interview date falls the week after our anniversary.

I know, I'm a little early...

But I already wanted to start a thread to connect and share information with other people who are gonna file around the same time as I will

I'm gonna file online under general provision and just started to fill out my application today and gathered all necessary documents.

Anyone else already working on their application?

Hi all,
I m about to become a dual citizen (German-American), and I could use some advice on an upcoming trip to Europe.

• My German passport has my maiden name.

• My U.S. passport will have my married name.

I m wondering how best to navigate this when traveling, especially since the names don t match. Specifically:

1. Which name should I use to book my flight?

2. How should I handle check-in, airport security, and customs?

3. When and how do I use each passport correctly?

4. Should I bring my marriage certificate to connect the names?

I just want to avoid any confusion or issues at the airport or border control. If anyone s had experience with this or has tips, I d really appreciate it!

Thanks in advance!
