US Immigration from Germany

Hey,

we just got this mail from NVC:

NVC cannot review your submitted documents until we have received all of the required documents DS-260, Civil Documents and Financial Documents. Once these documents have been submitted, we will review your case. Please follow your CEAC Home page and https://nvc.state.gov.

We submitted all required documents. I double checked. Everything is submitted. It doesn't even say what is specifically missing.

What should i do now?

Also we just submitted last week. Why are they already sending out this email? I was prepared i wouldnt here anything back from them until at least 2 months are over.

Thanks

Sabrina

We are currently having the same trouble.

My husband lived in germany for about 20 years. We started the petition for me in October 2021. He moved to the US end of December and kept working for the same company, just in the US office.

Basically to show that he has US income.

He filed taxes for the past 4 years, even tho he did not earn enough to pay taxes in the US as well.

Our lawyer told us that NVC might consider this as a red flag for the affidavit of support, because he didn t have US income the past few years

But he has a viable reason for it.

Our lawyer recommended to look for a joint sponsor, just to be on the safe side. Because his experience is that such cases get denied.

He has paychecks available and just recently switched job because of health reasons within the previous company, however, he still makes more than the minimum requirement.

So why should they refuse

Is there anyone who had such case and got approved?

I feel like he gets punished for living abroad because of his parents.

Also, I work for a US company, just in the german office. And I will continue working, I just got the verification letter.

I read that its possible to include my income as well into the AOS, since it will continue to come from the same source after entering the US.

Combined we would make more than double of the Income Requirments.

But our lawyer told us that NVC doesn t like such cases, since the USC is supposed to show evidence of income to support, not the immigrant (which I think is ridiculous and outdated ).

Anyone can share their experience would really help to decide what to do.

All in on our own or still hoping someone would support with their signature.

We asked family and even my former hostmum (I was an AuPair once), but they re either not having enough income or feel like its too much of a risk.

I don t blame them, but its really frustrating.

Especially when kids are involved as well. Sitting here and getting asked when we can finally move to daddy is really painful.

This process is just a nightmare

And just out of my experience now. Most people we talked to dont get the process. The comment they make is always I don t get it. You are married, why can t they just come over!

We finally heard back from the NVC today and it said the sponsor (my husband) might not have domicile in the U.S

We live in Germany where my Husband is working as a dod contractor for an American contracting company.

We added all of his tax returns/w2s as proof.

But they still said no.

What else can we provide? He hasn t voted on decades, doesn t own property there or have a physical address in the United States.

Hey there!

I couldn't find the thread for the July filers. So, I thought, I'm gonna start one.

If there's already an existing one, please share the link with me!

Otherwise... who has already sent or will send their petition out this month?

Hi everyone,

I am currently waiting for my Interview at the US consulate in Frankfurt/Germany and I have to register my document delivery address with them (https://ustraveldocs.com/de/de-iv-documentdelivery.asp). For the rest of my time here in Germany, me and my family are living at a different address than what was specified in the DS260. Does that "matter" which address I specify there or should the address specified in DS260 and the document delivery address be the same? For example it is different than my registered address in Germany.

Thanks for any help!
