Actually during the i130 submission, they did not ask for anything but i took it upon myself to show that I am registered here in Germany so yes I submitted my meldebestatigung. During the interview they searched for my aufenhaltstitel. 

That sounds promising. But during my interview they searched for my german residence permit. Or maybe you can show them a schengen visa during your interview

I think the embassy only needs the job offer. and of course a bit of background about the US citizen and what he/she wants to happen. there is no standard format...

1. That’s all you need to be approved for DCF
2. They won’t be contacted as far as I know
3. The green card is not dependent on you holding a job, once you’re both in the US you’re good.
 
Note: For I-864, if you don’t have a joint sponsor in the US, you will need to show >65k of assets or your husband will need to show >110k (you two can combine your assets too). Your job offer in the future does not count as current income. Foreign income also does not count.
