US Immigration from Germany

Dear all,

is there anyone with a n-600k experience? My husband is stationed overseas and I am, as are my children from my previous marriage, with him. Background is that we got orders to Germany while we filed the I130 for myself. As the approval for my kids biological father was always going back and forth, we didn t pursue it any further given that he had orders to the same country/ city we (my kids and I) already lived.

Now two years later we are facing the same problem again: their Dad doesn t communicate. Given the difficulties I am facing, I was hoping to pursue the n-600k route for my children. However, I am the military spouse (dependent) with a US citizenship. If, and only if, the days on overseas orders count as days in the US, I could petition their N-600k.

I know this is a slim chance, but does anyone know a military spouse (not the service member) who was able to file the n-600k AND include the days on overseas orders as physical presence?

I do have an immigration lawyer who is currently researching this exact question but I was wondering if anyone in this forum has been going through the same?

Hello all,

I am wondering if anyone has recently filed for advanced parole (AP) I-131 and an employment authorization document (EAD) I-765 combo card. From my understanding it is filed with the Chicago office and the most up to date information I can find is documents that were filed in October last year.

I am trying to figure out the most current processing times for these documents. The reason I am asking is we are trying to have a wedding in the home country of Germany, but unsure if the advanced parole document will be returned in time. It would be a disaster to cancel the wedding last minute when people have purchased plane tickets.

Appreciate any input,

Thanks.

Does anyone know if the processing times on USCIS website is accurate?

Hi there,

I did my medical last year in January and had my embassy appointment scheduled for March in Frankfurt for a K1 visa.

That was cancelled but I hope things will resume soon.

Regarding an expired medical, the checklist states the following:

Quote

[...] The medical examination is valid for six months! If these tests expire on or before your interview, you must undergo a modified examination to update your results. [...]

Now, because the embassy has not responded yet, I wonder what a "modified examination" would mean?

Does anyone know more about this?

Hello everyone,

first of all thanks for all the help so far. This forum is incredible helpful.

We got our I-130 approved last week, and honestly I did not expect it to go that fast at all (50 days). This is amazing news, but we have a problem with not having my husband's 2020 tax return (petitioner) yet. He applied for an ITIN for me in order to do his taxes in February. After 3 months of waiting we got the answer that they can't process the case, because he was supposed to file his taxes with the application for an ITIN, which wasn't clear to him. So now we need to wait another 10 weeks to get his tax return papers for 2020. We were thinking of several options:

1. filing the I-864 without 2020 tax return, but with W2 and explanation why he did not include the tax return paper
2. asking his parents to be joined sponsors
3. waiting until he gets the tax return (least favorable of course)

Any suggestions on what would be the best way to proceed?

Thanks a lot in advance!
