US Immigration from Germany

This surely qualifies as a stupid question but here it goes: My teenagers and I have an appointment at 08:00 am at our local USCIS field office. They open up at 08:00 am and if I recall, it will take time for us to go through security etc.

Meaning, if we arrive at 07:30 am as advertised, the doors may still be closed. There is no way for us to be in time for our appointment if they open at 08:00 am. Will it be held against us?

Also, I am thinking we should be there about an hour prior to the appointment but waiting outside is not a walk in the park in that neighborhood. What time should one generally get there to be in the building as fast as possible? (Obviously, without camping outside but more in terms of a reasonable arrival time)

my wife had to abondon permanenet residence from USA due to illness of sister in germany so we turned in green card with form I407 and received from uscis confirmation. we want to return APRIL-MAY OF 2025 will we have to start from front and will we have to start with immigrant visa thru frankfurt and will we have problems stateside entry. I am reitired Army and my wife has lived in USA over 25 years and we have kids, grandkids, great grandkids and family in Pennsylvania. What steps should i take?

Hello,

if we can rely on TMVN, we would - assuming the visa is approved - be through with everything around August/September.

My partner will then come to me from the USA. We then want to fly back together and I want to immigrate.

Despite research, we couldn't figure out how to do this.

Does every airport have a POE for immigration and do they also provide this in Canada for the US? We would come from Germany.

And my second question is, if my fianc books a Flight US-Germany-US, can I book a one way ticket for the same flight? We want to be on the same plane of course :-).

Hi all,

just filling out the new N-400 version in anticipation of filing for citizenship next month. I am planning on filing online but I am anxious to get this started so here we are. I have noticed that there seems to be some weird dependency between Part 5. 4d and Part 10. 1 when filling out the form in Acrobat Reader. It seems that both answers can only be the same, either both yes or both no. This might just be the case for me, but I thought I'd mention it. So, if you are filing by mail, your spouse lives at the same address as you, AND you make more than 400% of the federal poverty guidelines, or vice versa, triple check your answers!

Hello everyone,

This is a new question from a previous thread where I received an RFE for uploading a foreign language document during the petition process without an English translation.

Per the instructions on the RFE, I will mail the requested translaiton to the U.S. from Germany. I will get the tracking as well to ensure delivery, but how long should I wait until contacting someone at the USCIS about receiving the RFE?

I have the option to upload evidence but it wasn't clearly stated in the RFE that I can provide the proof electronically online via my USCIS account.

My questions is, has anyone just submitted the RFE response both ways (via mail & online)? Thanks!
