Hi everyone, 

My husband is an active duty and now working in Belgium and I'm from Indonesia  and somehow get to live with my husband in Belgium last year after we got married, I entered Belgium only using the a command sponsorship letter.

We submitted our first package on February 2017 and still waiting for approval. I have question If I get approved for my IR 1 visa :

1. Can I enter United States using military airplane ?

2. We're planning to visit his family for a month and fly back to Europe,he still have a year or more to move to an another base , can I fly back with him to Europe by not to worry about staying too long outside the State and lost my green card or US citizenship?

3. Can I get my US passport done on my first visit before flying back to Europe ?

 

TIA

Since your profile says that you are chasing the Cr-1 via DCF I am going to say that right now you do not have claims to U.S. citizenship.  When you enter the U.S. you will be a permanent resident.  You will not have a US passport as you will not be a US citizen.

 

Good luck

You need to get your green card first then you will apply for citizenship when time comes, which is 3 years since you obtain your green card if you are still married to same husband.
