    Had you previously sent an I-130, or was the I-485 submitted after a K-1 entry?
  2. Crazy Cat
    ESTA is likely gone. Therefore, you have no way to get back inside the US for an interview during which, the I-485 would be denied anyway.
  3. Crazy Cat
    The I-485 is already dead on arrival. Now, you wait until the I-130 is approved, and you submit an I-824 to move it from USCIS to NVC for consular processing. I would withdraw the I-485, too....now.
  4. Crazy Cat
    The answer is "Yes".

    @Crabbypatty, please keep us updated. Please note any questions you are asked pertaining to the I-130.
  6. Crazy Cat
    I've seen some I-130s approved beforehand while others are adjudicated with the I-485. Technically, the sequence must be I-130, then the I-485.

    All sponsors must provide either proof of having filed taxes or explain why they were not required to file taxes for 2022.
  8. Crazy Cat
    It would be extremely unusual to have separate interviews for an I-130 and an I-485. Extremely unusual.

    All US citizens and legal residents are required to report world-wide income if it meets the threshold for filing. You will have to show that you back-filed if you were required to file. Copies of the tax return packages you have sent should be sufficient. However, the consulate might want to see transcripts. Good luck.

    The CEAC status will change to "Issued". That is the only definitive way to know.
  11. Crazy Cat
    It doesn't work like that. Please keep us informed.

    It costs nothing to ask the consulate. As I said, you are seeking a way for your spouse to reside in a country outside the US.

    OP says he cannot return to the US. It seems, to me, OP is seeking a way for his spouse to reside in Germany.
  14. Crazy Cat
    What you CAN do is file an I-130 with USCIS about 18 months prior to returning to the US.
  15. Crazy Cat
    You have several issues: 1. A Green Card is for living in the US. You must have domicile or intent to re-establish domicile in the US as her petitioner. 2. She can't DCF in Germany since she resides elsewhere. 3. She can't DCF in her country since you reside elsewhere. 4. What you posted does not appear, imho, to be an exceptional circumstance. Separation is normal for US immigration.

    You didn't hear that here on VJ. That just doesn't make any sense.

    Welcome to Visa Journey!! 1. Step 1 is to contact the consulate and request that they accept your case. 2. You must have exceptional circumstances to qualify for DCF. 3. Do NOT file an I-130 online with USCIS. A consulate cannot accept a case if an I-130 has already been submitted to USCIS. Good luck.

    I am sad to say that I just don't see any way other than withdrawing the I-485, then seeking a spousal visa. Others may have more ideas.
  21. Crazy Cat
    Are you 100% sure the I-131 was not approved BEFORE you departed the US?
  22. Crazy Cat
    Even then, USCIS can catch it somewhere down the line.
  23. Crazy Cat
    If you left the US before the I-131 was approved, your Adjustment of Status I-485 has already been abandoned. That is one of the major drawbacks of Adjustment of Status. In addition, you can't legally enter the US as a visitor with the intent to submit another I-485. Even if you managed to get inside the US, your current I-485 would be denied during an interview. You can withdraw the current I-485 and start the spousal visa process which will take around 18-24 months. That I-130 would have to be moved to NVC via an I-824. That, in itself, could cause a delay. Did you ask for emergency travel I-131?

    F2a was current back in August 2021. It is not current now. If you file for them, it will be IR-2....always current. Correct, @Boiler @appleblossom ?
