I  for one am happy they are making it harder. 6/10 to pass is ridiculous

That is a felony and can result in prison before deportation.

"Have you EVER been a member of, involved in?
 
these questions are about u not your former spouse

i'm a bit worried about this. my wife has zero crimes anywhere so that was never an issue but she doesn't work, and we travel quite a lot outside the USA although we will meet the rules for less than 18 months in 3 years out of the US.
 
we just started volunteering for habitat for humanity but realistically i doubt we'll do many hours. we do help our elderly neighbour with house repairs for free, maybe she would be willing to write a letter to confirm that.
 
i wonder what else we could do? we bought a fixer up house and have been restoring it over the last couple of years, we don't get paid for that but it is a kind of job and we pay more property tax as a result of the upgrades.
 
i wonder if these things will be enough? i guess no one knows yet since the new rules haven't kicked in.

Did they ask any questions regarding Good Moral Character, especially "community involvement" etc.?

There are more eligible "Qualifying Employment Abroad" types other than military for 319(b).
 
 
As long as you have made sure that you fall under one of the eligible employment types your spouse can technically apply for his N400 as soon as he has his GC. I'm not sure what kinda document you could obtain from your organisation to show that a) your husband will be joining you abroad and will return to the US with you immediately after conclusion of your project and that  b) you have at least a year worth of work left in Albania. For mil filings you would typically include a DD Form 1278 signed by a commander so perhaps that can give you an indication of what you would need from your organisation.
 
Most people applying under 319(b) tend to have their interview/oath at the Fairfax office as they see the most 319(b) applications come through, but you can technically request any FO within the US. Keep in mind your spouse will need to travel back to the US for both interview and oath. Oath might not be same-day. He will need a US passport to depart the country so will likely need an emergency passport appointment if this is supposed to only be a quick trip.

Thanks so much guys! Yes @ghostinthemachine you're right, I figured it out after USCIS hotline told me that I can do it, but couldn't explain how. That's correct, you pick "Europe/Middle East/Africa/Canada". Thanks so much to you and @Kevo

They recently changed the wording from "actively reviewed" to "still being processed". Same same.

I believe it depends where you apply. Was under the impression card payments are only for applying at a Passport Agency directly (vs. a Passport Acceptance Facility like a post office etc.)

You are looking for the "Europe/Middle East/Africa/Canada" option in the State dropdown. 
 
 
For reference, these are the correct options for all APO/FPOs in case anyone else comes across this thread:
 
AA - "Americas excluding Canada"
AE - "Europe/Middle East/Africa/Canada"
AP - "Pacific"

Sorry to butt in on another thread I have no business being in, but I was just curious what day it updated for you? 
 
It seems for a lot of CR1 or AOS filings there happen to be big batch updates from what I've seen, but there's very little chat about 751 APIs. Mine updated to FTA0 on 1/13/25, almost a whole year after filing 🫠

Listed country is PI, not Japan - says married my wife in Japan, not that she's Japanese...

Only ONE of them is LEGAL in the eyes of USCIS, so what you're saying is that there aren't two marriages. Only ONE legal wedding/marriage and then some random ceremony. 

Super confused by the fact that is very common for couples to get married before the law and then have a second legal religious ceremony to fullfill their religious faith?         I doubt USCIS has clueless morons as adjudicators.

No progress on my case yet. I just applied for naturalization.

not yet still waitng
 

Thank you so much! This is super helpful! I’ll definitely check this out ☺️

If they're smart, they'll involve the AfD.

Are you referring to "Eintragung im Eheregister"? If so, my suggestion would be to contact the Standesamt at your last place of residence in Germany as they are the ones who have to process your petition. There's a general list of documents and the form needed on the AA website, BUT you know what bureaucracy is like at home so the local office might want something specific in addition to those. Ask them to confirm which documents they need translated and if any of them need to be notarised/apostilled too whilst you're at it.
 
Fwiw I never got our marriage acknowledged at home and it doesn't change anything as long as your current marriage cert is accepted as a proper document (which it should if you got married in the US). You also don't need to acknowledge your marriage to officially change your name, those are two separate procedures.

I'm not quite sure why you seem to be complaining about your case moving quickly. Certainly a first 😅
 

Yes. Sponsor has to paper file the I-865 within 30 days of moving.

You're right. I checked N-400 and couldn't find what OP asks for. I think it might have been a question on other forms, but not N-400.
