    This question is simply asking you to copy a figure exactly from 3 tax returns.  
    Just copy the number from Total Income
    Line 22 of your 2017 return and earlier.  Line 6 of your 2018 and forward Get Adjusted Gross Income out of your head. That only applies to those who did the EZ form, which you didn't. Take out the parenthetical statement. 
    My total income as reported on my Federal income tax returns for the most recent three years was: 
     
    YES you did it correctly.

    The I-129F for spouse was denied by USCIS.  No visa has been applied for yet, because no petition has been approved yet.  There is nothing to address.  I-129F for spouse is ALWAYS denied.

    Yes, I think it got your I-130 pulled from it's place in line and dealt with right away, saving several months.

    A Warning To Green Card Holders About Voting
    Do not register to vote in any election until you have officially been granted US Citizenship.
    Going into this election season, it is very important to understand that for a Green Card holder, (Lawful Permanent Resident) to register to vote is not only improper, but can have severe consequences in the future.
    Even though there are States that have instituted policies that do not require evidence of US Citizenship when registering to vote, the voter registration documents do ask whether the person registering is a US Citizen. Many have simply checked the box and gone ahead and registered, knowing that even if the State Law requires showing government issued identification, their driver license will suffice.
    While this is not legal advice, the publicly searchable “9 FAM” (Foreign Affairs Manual) is quite clear regarding the potential consequences of falsely claiming US Citizenship. There is no more serious a misrepresentation, based on the consequences, dealt with in 9 FAM. The potential consequence of registering to vote or for any other federal or state benefit afforded only to US Citizens includes Deportation and a LIFETIME BAN from entering the USA.
    If any reader who is not a US Citizen, has registered to vote in any official State of Federal election, I advise them to seek competent legal advice as soon as possible, to discuss minimizing or eliminating the risk of any future deportation and ban.
    The law is, what the law is. Regardless of whether this particular or any other immigrant related law is being consistently enforced today, that can change at any time.
    False claims to US Citizenship are taken very seriously by Customs and Border Patrol Officers. Some years ago, I was traveling with my step daughter, when we encountered a border check station on Interstate 10 in West Texas. My step daughter was quite proud of passing her citizenship test just the day before, and proudly answered yes, when a CBP Officer asked if she was a US Citizen. I quickly corrected her, so the officer would hear me, saying, “You WILL BE a US Citizen after your swearing in ceremony, but you’re aren’t a citizen yet.” Fortunately, the officer was understanding and we were soon on our way without incident.
    Many have registered to vote, somewhat “innocently” because of the misrepresentations or ignorance of well meaning officers at the DMV (Driver License Offices) or even a campaign worker.

    Not only is the Police Report not currently accurate, but she will need to disclose the arrest when completing her DS260.  She will disclose it whether it appears on the new police certificate or not.  NEVER LIE on an immigration form or to an immigration official.

    I would advise you to stop seeking special treatment.  It's not going to happen.   Worst case really sounds like you get a new job and contract, so you can stay in Germany earning a living like you have been.  If you must leave before your contract is finished, you break your contract and get on with life.

    You circumstances do not warrant an expedite.  Even if there is no Embassy in your country of citizenship, there will be a nearby Consulate assigned to deal with immigrant visa applications from your country.  For example, Mozambique applicants interview in Johannesburg.  Iranians have a choice of Ankara or Abu Dhabi.

    Do you qualify to pass US Citizenship to your child directly, through a Consular Report of Birth Abroad, CRBA.  If you do not, you will need to file a separate petition for the baby.  That could have been done 9 months ago.

    As noted above, if the child qualifies to derive citizenship from you (generally 5 years of physical presence in the US, 2 of which past age 14), then the CRBA process is what you need. They will get a US passport.
     
    If you don't meet the requirements to pass citizenship, then:
    1) The child needs their own passport and visa to visit the US.
    2) No, you cannot come to the US with intent to stay/file for permanent residency. It would be fraudulent to use almost any non-immigrant visa to do so (certain work visas and special cases are exempt).
    3) You would need to file an I-130 for the child. You cannot add them as a beneficiary to the existing I-130 since there are no derivatives allowed in the CR-1 or IR-1 category.

    All good.  Did you have a traditional engagement ceremony.  Your age difference is not uncommon for Vietnam, but she may well be asked extra relationship questions and questions about your life, family, ex wive(s) and work.  Provide plenty of relationship evidence when filing the petition with focus on evidence of time spent together in person and the engagement party.
