One of the documents you will file is the I 864, an agreement for you to financially sponsor them. Medical Insurance etc varies a lot by the State they will be living in, now most people of that sort of age will be on Medicare. Under current rules they will have to wait for 5 years before they can buy in, as they have not contributed to the system they will not get the basic element for free. Normally the intermediate option is through the ACA, buy through the State exchange, so that varies significantly. Any Insurance they can access obviously does not cover everything, one of the big issues can be long term care.

If you know many other people in your situation who have navigated this situation before then they would be the best to advise you. As I see and I can only go what you have posted so not sure if that is all correct. You are in Germany and have no immediate plans to relocate back to the US, one of the common reasons for exceptional circumstances. Your wife is in some unspecified third Country and cannot enter Germany for reasons that are unclear. You wish to process the I 130 in Frankfurt so she can obtain an Immigrant Visa to enter the US, then obtain a GC, well more immediately a I 551 stamp, which will then allow her to enter Germany. I do not know if Germany requires the Card or the Stamp but that is just a matter of timing. I see 2 issues, the one that seems key is how will she attend the interview in Germany? The other is persuading Frankfurt to handle the case. But if she cannot enter Germany anyway, well. How did the people you know handle this? Presumably she can interview in her home country.

They are not very common

I 130

What is your Mothers status?

Even if the I 130 is approved tomorrow you still have to wait for the Priority Date

That will depend on the religion. An I 601 is much more than just a letter, and a lawyer who does not know how to do one, not come across that before.

If they marry before your mother naturalises then she will need to refile once she naturalises.

Fortunately I was only asked a couple of questions as I would have failed my adjustment interview miserably.

I realize that but not the situation here.

Very unusual for an I 130 to require an interview, the circumstances are usually very specific.

Diversity and Inclusivity at its finest.

A Green Card is for living in the US, not Germany. You become a Legal Permanent Resident, of the US. I really do not see this working but how would she interview anyway in Germany for an Immigrant Visa to the US?

I have not come across them approving such a case but you can always ask. For arguments sake lets say they approved your request can she travel to Germany?

On what basis do you qualify for DCF?

You really need to discuss this with your Divorce lawyer as this varies by state.

Antisemitic acts have exploded in France since 7 October, interior minister says. Paris prosecutors are already investigating the daubing of dozens of Stars of David on buildings around the city and its suburbs last week. The Union of Jewish Students of France said they were designed to mirror the way Jews were forced to wear stars by the Nazi regime. In the central city of Lyon, prosecutors said this weekend they suspected that antisemitism may have been behind an attack on a young Jewish woman, who was stabbed in her home. Police were treating the attack as attempted murder, they said, adding that the woman’s life was not in danger and no arrest had been made. And the mayor in the eastern city of Besancon on Sunday denounced what she said was a fresh wave of antisemitic graffiti, after a first set appeared on 31 October. https://www.theguardian.com/world/2023/nov/06/antisemitic-acts-have-exploded-in-france-since-7-october-interior-minister-says?utm_term=Autofeed&CMP=twt_gu&utm_medium&utm_source=Twitter#Echobox=1699234434 What did they expect?

As mentioned the child is out of status.

You do not have to, probably be quicker and filing them at the same time should mean they interview together.

They have Computers and how will you return? Too late for AP. I 824 seems to be taking a year,

The I 130 filed is fine, the I 485 is dead.

OK VWP Express as it is affectionately known here. You have the I 130 filed so your spouse needs to redirect it to the Consulate in Italy which I presume is Rome. The I 485 is abandoned.

You basically do the same as your Husband did but because you are a USC there is no waiting for a visa number.

Let us start at the beginning, on what basis did you enter the US, Some Visa's are dual intent. So you could possibly come and go on that. You said you obtained EAD, have you worked using it.

As soon as you soon to be ex pulls the I 864 the associated EAD is dead so keep going with the H1b. Make sure you well document everything Police Reports, Mental Health care etc etc.
