US Immigration from Germany

Hi VisaJourney!

We filed K1 and my interview is pretty soon, on April 9th!

I would like some second opinions, regardless that I am almost done collecting all I need for the interview. My fiance is in his last year of university, works on the side but of course we need a joint sponsor, which will be his dad. Like mentioned in the title, his father is self-employed and I have yet to find someone who has their interview in Germany, with a joint sponsor that is self-employed lol! But I guess the same applies if the main petitioner were self-employed. As I have already received instructions for the interview and heard of other people who had their interview in Frankfurt, the only things they want to see are: I-134, IRS transcripts (3y) and W2's (3yrs). Well, of course our joint sponsor does not have W2's. For now I have suggested we get a bank statement from him (I'm also going to bring proof of citizenship for his father, as that obviously wasn't confirmed in the I-129F like with my fiance). But not sure what else to bring, if it's satisfactory. I would be glad to hear from others who know of someone in the same situation and how they did! Thank you!

Trying to figure out what my field office/proccesing center will likely be for N-400 to estimate timelines.

I looked up my USCIS field office based on my postal code, but will that be the one handling N-400? Planning to file online.

Hello,

Does anyone else ever encounter an issue with the USCIS during the petition process when an RFE was sent? In my case, I would like to speak with someone or email an agent for my case because my marriage certificate has already been translated as a dual German and English marriage certificate.

The USCIS hotline number is only a bot would not direct me to an agent. The email options also not possible. Can someone help?

Thanks!

Just wondering if this is common or a discrepancy that I should have corrected.

On the I-129F approval, USCIS assigned an A# to my partner. I used that number to fill out the AOS forms and that showed up on the receipt notices.

I messaged a USCIS representative to get the online access code, and on the biometric appointment notice, it says my spouse's married name and address correctly, but the A# is completely different.

I m a US citizen, husband is German citizen. We d like to live in Germany for a year or two and give ourselves (and our kid) a chance at that part of our family culture. He has a US green card, valid for 10 years, conditions removed.

It seems he can apply for a re-entry permit but I wonder if anyone has personal experience with that.

Also, if he applies and is approved for a re-entry permit, does that allow any visits to the US while we would be living in Germany?

Additionally, he s considering applying for US citizenship but not sure if Germany would allow dual. They are unclear on stating their rules but looks like have approved some changes since 2024 began.

Advice appreciated!
