US Immigration from Germany

Hello, I have a question.

Due to special circumstances, we may enter the U.S. on the IR1 visa, triggering the green card production process. However, because we still have some things to do, we will only stay in the USA for a limited time at first and fly back to Germany. In the worst case, it could take several months until the GC is completed and sent out. Can we re-enter the USA again later with the replacement GC stamp in the passport because the physical GC is not yet ready or is entry only possible with the plastic GC triggered by the first initial visit? Does this put us at any risk?

Hello,

I am currently waiting on my ROC. I am moving from my current address that's registered with USCIS. Until I can get to the new address it will be 4 weeks from the date I am moving out.

How can I inform USCIS that I wont be able to receive mail at the new address until we move in?

Hi all,

My wife s I-485 was approved on 3/3 but we haven t had any updates since then other than receiving the approval notice via mail yesterday. She s been browsing jobs and found a few that look really appealing but the application windows will close soon. Is it possible/legal for her to apply for jobs with just the approval notice but no Greencard on hand yet? Can she say that she s legally allowed to work in the US? I saw in another thread that apparently printing green cards is delayed right now, just want to make sure we do everything by the book but also don t waste any possible employment opportunities!

Thanks in advance!

Hi everyone,

So far I have been a silent reader and this is my first post

Regarding I-485 I was wondering what is considered a criminal background.

In 2015, I found child prn on my then boyfriend s laptop and I took him to court for that. Even though he was convicted I was charged a fine also - for defamation.

And two years ago I had to turn my drivers license in for 3 months because I was speeding (Sorry, I live in Germany and we have the autobahn )

Do I have to mention these two things when it comes to answering questions about criminal records? I am a little confused as to what falls under a criminal record .

Also, I don t have any documents left about these incidents. Is that a problem?

Thank you

Hi all,

My wife and I just moved and registered the change of address with USCIS through their website. We received an email confirmation that the change was successful however when my wife goes on her USCIS online account she can see the following under her I-131 application:

We're a bit confused, do we also need to follow these directions as well to register the address change with I-131? Or is this not relevant to us?

Thanks in advance for the help!
