You need a green card. You need to be on his deployment/ PCS orders. Then you can move there with him. You will need copys of the orders with both your names on it for ROC of the green card from another country.

There are so many missing pieces to your request that it is hard to give you the correct respone.

Lets start with question number one, where are you living right now, the US or PI,

Do you have any type of visa request in place if you are still in the PI.

When did you get married and what process was your husband going to start to enable the two of you to be in the same country together.

You need to go on base to apply for the SOFA card for Germany.

You need to be in the deers system and recorded as a military spouse to get it.

After you get the card you can move to Germany with him on his orders. Then you have to apply for a green card from overseas through Germany.

I don't think you can get a sofa card then. My husband said you have to be in the system as a military spouse to do all this.

You have to apply in person at the base with your husband in the USA at his station for your Deers card.

[LIFE'SJOURNEY 970]

Your husband, (not You) needs to talk to his commanding officer at the military base where he is stationed to start the process. You will need to gather the required documents that your husband will need from you, copies of passport, marriage license, your birth papers.

Again your new husband will have to start the process here in the US at his military base.

I can only answer for the US, must have stamp and visa to be able to enter US.

SOFA can take around 60 days or more for processing.
