This is for someone who lives in the US but are getting orders to be stationed outside the US. The person in question does not live in the US atm, neither does her soldier.

Exactly. Lawfully admitted.

She isn't, until she activetes the visa she's getting in June. 

 

As for immigration purposes, overseas bases, at least in Europe, are not valid point of entry for the visa activations.

Why does it say '' I GOT MY IMMIGRANT VISA'' when the person hasn't even had their interview at the embassy yet? What a confusing post.

Hey Carlinhoswave,

Were you able to find someone to help after all? Another thing I thought of is maybe you can post your question in a military forum on VJ or even a website for military spouses. I'm sure there has been another person in your situation before. Maybe ask your husband to talk to different people on base and see if any of his buddies is in a situation similar to yours... At the end of the day, your best bet is finding someone who has already has experience going through your unique situation. 😁

Oh no don't apologize  I was just a bit confused if you actually had the visa or not. Girl, I'm a military spouse as well. I read a lot about these things and if you message me I can try to explain to you the timeline and that you really don't have to worry at all. If your interview is in June and you get your visa then, it will be valid in September and even months after that.
