US Immigration from Germany

I can t seem to find anyone that s in a similar situation or ever was in this situation but I m sure there must be plenty so I m hoping for some insight here.
My husband is a US citizen and a dod contractor here in Germany where we met, got married and are living together. I m currently in the process of getting my green card and will hopefully have it in about 6 months at the latest.
We need this green card for many reasons but we don t currently plan to move back to the states for good any time soon. My husband has a great job and as long as things continue to go well we might stay for another 4 years. (His current contractor will end next year but still most likely after I got my GC) I already have Sofa Status.

I know I ll have to enter the U.S when my visa is issued in order to get my green card sent to our u.s address but will I have to stay there? If so, how long?

When they ask me when we intend to move to the u.s what do I tell them? When I intend to enter the u.s even though I intend to leave again for a while or when we plan to move back for good?

Anyone else in a similar situation? I want to make sure I m doing everything correctly.

I ve also heard that it sometimes takes months for the green card to physically arrive at our house. Will I have to stay there for as long as it takes for the GC and SSC to arrive or can those things just arrive when I m out of the country and my MIL can forward them to our APO on base?
I ve read that being overseas on official orders doesn t count as spending time overseas so it wouldn t put me in danger of losing my green card, is that correct?

Hi everyone,

For the I-130 is it ok to upload the petitioners passport as a proof of citizenship? I read about thag people were scanning every page of this passport. Is it not ok to only upload the two pages with their name on?

Thanks for helping

Hello everyone,

i have a question regarding the Class of Admission on I-130 online form.

I only travelled to the US through an ESTA from Germany and i m currently not in the US. Would my answer be correct?

Thanks

Sabrina

I m in the process of submitting my petition packet and as the petitioner I have 5 counts of control substance BY FORGERY. I plead guilty and the outcome of the charges were NOLLE PROSEQUI ALL COUNTS. On question 2c. below I answered no because it says 3 or more arrest which mines was 1 arrest did I answer this question correctly? I did answer YES to the question regarding all other arrests.

2.c. Three or more arrests or convictions, not from a single act, for crimes relating to a controlled substance or alcohol?

Hi,

So... We have submitted our AoS using an assets only approach (this thread, if anyone is interested). With our assets we are very comfortably over the 3x min. income requirement. We just got two notes though, timestamped identically:

Case FE Review Note 1:

 This case does not meet the minimum income requirement to sponsor the intending immigrants. To avoid delays, an additional Affidavit of Support Form I-864 from a joint sponsor may be submitted. For more information visit https://nvc.state.gov/aos. The consular officer will make a decision regarding this requirement at the time of the interview. For more information, please visit https://www.uscis.gov/i-864p. 

Case FE Review Note 2:

 Please submit XXXXX's Evidence of Income. For more information, visit https://nvc.state.gov/fin.

Our Status for AoS now reads: "Paid, Accepted". So We are not sure how to interpret the review notes now..

• Is submitting the above (income or/and joint sponsor) still optional and we can just wait until the DS-260 is accepted as well to get an interview appointment?
• Do we HAVE to submit anything now in order to proceed? As we don't have a US based income (yet), we cannot submit anything regarding note2 ...
• Would submitting a Joint Sponsor delay the case or help? Would we simply bring a completed form to the interview or do they want you to submit it online first?
• Should we bring a completed joint sponsor application to the interview "just in case"?

I have read in the following thread that this seems to be normal. But I am not sure if this still applies to us as well. Our interview would be in Germany.
