Hello. Welcome to VJ. Unless your husband is currently living in the US with you, number 22 is ignored. I believe I wrote N/A on the blank lines.

Are you currently living in Germany with your husband and plan to file at the Frankfurt consulate?

Okay, cool, then just write N/A on the blank lines for number 22 - that only applies when the foreign spouse is in the US and wants to adjust status rather than apply for a visa like your husband will be doing.

You don't have to send the forms by registered mail, but do so if that makes you feel better. I spent the extra money on sending our package overnight to London.

Have you included proof of your ongoing relationship such as joint lease/mortgage and joint accounts? In London, their website says not to include that, but the I-130 instructions say to include it, and some people have run into problems by not including it. I'm asking in case the Frankfurt website's checklist says something similar.

I sent the I-130 registered mail. It was worth the extra money to know they got it. My husband just sent off the DS-230 today the same way.
