US Immigration from Germany

Hi everybody,

With all the Covid-19 craziness going on and a questionable economic outlook, I'd like to be prepared for a situation my family could find myself in.

We've been living in the U.S. since 2005 on my wife's work visa (E2). Both of our kids (5 and 11) were born in the U.S. and are U.S. citizens. In the case that my wife would lose her job, we would also lose our visa status. As far as I know, we would have to leave the country within 60 days after loss of a visa status.

Does anyone know, if having children who are U.S. citizens, would allow the parents to remain in the U.S. even without a visa? Is there another document we could obtain, that would allow us to keep living in the U.S. for the kids' sake, that is not tied to an employer?

Thanks in advance for all your replies and ideas.

Hello all,

I am unsure about what consulate to chose when completing my I-130. My husband (beneficiary) holds an Indian citizenship, however he currently resides in Struttgart, Germany because he is pursuing his MBA. He is on a student visa that is valid till September 2021. Should I chose the consulate of his home country (Mumbai, India) or should it be where he currently resides.

Thanks in advance!

Hello,

I had high hopes that the consulates would continue with K-1 interviews. My fiances interview was scheduled 2nd week of April, then we were hit with the pandemic and her interview was canceled as for everyone else.

Last week I contacted the consulate in Frankfurt, Germany to see if K-1 visa interviews would be included now that they are reopening for some limited services and received the following as an answer:

Hello,

Apologize ahead of time for the long post, however, I want you guys to have a clear picture of my situation. I want to know if my situation would warrant a direct consular filing in New Delhi, India office?

Hello lovely people,

I technically can apply for the US citizenship in October but I will wait until I have my certificate from the German government saying that I can keep my German citizenship and acquire a second one.

Do I have to mention that I ran a red light and passed a stopping school bus? I got pulled over by a police officer shortly after I ran the red light and handed me a document saying that I will be getting something in the mail. My car got caught on the school bus camera and I had to pay a fine.
