Hubby deployed during ROC

[tbaygrrl 2]

My husband is currently deployed and has been notified that he will be extended through to January 2012. My ROC window is Oct-Dec 2011. He will not be here, and he will most likely be in the same region in AStan where his mail takes 2-3 months...no joke... to get to him. We have a one year old and I am due with baby #2 in a month, which he will be back for. What do I need to gather from him and what do I have to do to have my ROC go smoothly when he may be so out of reach for signatures etc...

Thanks

Opps, I should add that he will only be here for 3 weeks in April then he flies back.

People here at VJ Community are very knowledgeable, but if you are the wife of a member of the military, then I would recommend you call :

Military Help Line (taken from USCIS's official web site)

USCIS has established a toll-free military help line, 1-877-CIS-4MIL (1-877-247-4645), exclusively for members of the military and their families. USCIS customer service specialists are available to answer calls Monday through Friday from 8 a.m. until 4:30 p.m. (CST), excluding federal holidays.

You need his deployment orders and letter from the comander/his boss.

Include thos with your ROC packet. =) I had to do this for my AOS and likely again for my ROC.

You can file without him present.

My husband was deployed as well when I removed conditions and it was no problem. Plus, we lived overseas.

I wrote "Active Duty Military- Overseas" on the very top of the form. You may want to write "Active Duty Military- Deployed" on the top.

Add his deployment orders and a letter from his commander as to why he won't be able to attend any possible interview or sign forms. (Or have your husband sign the form when he is there in April?)

You might even get around the interview ( I did) or they will just forgive your husbands absence.

Good luck to you, congratulations on your baby and enjoy your tim with your husband next month!!
