An Odd Question

I am not really sure where to put this question. Not really 'Moving Here and Your New Life in America' because I actually haven't quite yet. And not really DCF specific either. I pondered and then thought I'd just plonk it here and see what happens.

I activated my CR-1 visa on 3rd January this year and I was lucky that my Green Card and SS# trotted along in due course. However, I am physically in Germany since the end of January, and will not be entering the US on a permanent basis until November-ish. Before someone screams at me (people screaming at me makes me cry, though usually more in real life than on the Internet) that I am a silly noob and I must not leave the US for more than five minutes or my residency status will be at risk, my husband is Active Duty US Military and we are domiciled in the US albeit just in spirit right now.

Of course, USCIS know this and we even gave them my husband's date of expected return from overseas when we applied, but is there some place I could just notify just to make me feel a teensy bit better about it? (I encountered a retarded immigration officer when I left the US, I guess I am worried I might get another one.) Perhaps I could just write a letter *somewhere* just to explain? Any awesome ideas, guys?

Cheers,

~Candace

Candace,

Lots of wives of the military personnel here in Germany went to US, they got the GC and SSN and came back to Germany . Right know I do not remember how long you are allowed to be outside US: 6 months or 1 year. Anytime you can make a visit to the states for one day and come back in germany in order to keep your us residency active. :thumbs:
