US Immigration from Germany

Hey there

Been a while since I started my own topic. But now I'm a little lost and could need some guidance.

So, any help will be appreciated!

I have to file for ROC in a couple months and already started to get everything together. Problem is, we still haven't received anything from the IRS about our jointly filed 2020 taxes. And this would be the only joint tax return I could provide to the USCIS.

We paper filed in February 2021.

Unfortunately, we don't know the exact day because the only copy we kept wasn't signed or dated yet, as well as it was send without a tracking number or anything. So, we don't have a receipt either (stupid, I know). Both of us have called the IRS multiple times throughout the past year and requested inquiries. They tell us, they received the tax return, but haven't worked on it yet. In our online accounts or in the "where's my refund" section is no information at all. Not even that it was received.

Now it's been four months since either of us talked to the IRS because it's not possible to get anyone on the phone anymore.

I got a little desperate and nervous, so I thought, I'm gonna try a different strategy... I sent another 2020 tax return about a month ago. Hoping it would either trigger an error message and the IRS tells me they already received one and start working on it... or start working on the new one.

Well, neither has happened yet. But at least I kept a signed copy and also sent the letter with a tracking number, so I have proof and a receipt.

I'm still hoping, I will get ANY response by the time I have to file for ROC. But I've been wondering...

What happens, if I don't?

I was thinking that I could write a letter explaining the situation and also send the first unsigned copy, as well as the new signed copy and the receipt of the new one. But other than that, I have no idea what to do. Especially, if they're gonna send me an RFE for it. I most likely can't provide anything.

I'll be more than thankful, if someone with experience and knowledge can help me out! I'm starting to panic a little over here

So, based on the events happening in Ukraine the earliest appointment for a medical examination in Germany right now is the end of July which is really annoying.
Does anybody know where in Germany you can get your medical done? Is it only the doctors office in Frankfurt? Can you get it done in any other office like in Austria or somewhere? Thanks in advance.

Good day everyone!

My husband and I have filed the I-130 through DCF. He s active military and currently here in Germany, I m a German citizen.

I have some general questions just so we can prepare ourselves as best as possible.

1) How long did it take for you to get your I-130 approved and did you or the petitioner receive an email for the approval?

2) What documents can we prepare already for the next steps? Like forms, documents etc.

3) Does anybody know how medical exams are working while being pregnant?

Thank you so much in advance and I hope everyone has a great day.

My case is currently at NVC and reads as CR1 because we haven t been married for longer than two years. Our anniversary will be in August.

I highly doubt that I will receive my green card before our second wedding anniversary with the way timelines are going currently.

Will I receive an IR green card if the process ends up going past our two years anniversary or will I still only receive my conditional green card because it says CR1 now?

sorry if this is confusing or has been asked before. Thanks!!

Does anyone know what the speech bubble on the left of Date uploaded means? It s showing up next to one of our documents.
