You are - you applying under 3 year rule while your marriage effectively doesn't exist anymore. I was asked during naturalization interview if I still live and am in a relationship with my wife - it's not just a simple fact of being married. Your best option is to withdraw N400.

If you are filing, you have to declare your entire income, regardless where from - that you made in the tax year. It might be low enough to qualify for no filing but you are filing, where it was made doesn't matter in terms of having to report it but it does matter from perspective of paying tax on it. https://www.irs.gov/individuals/international-taxpayers/foreign-earned-income-exclusion https://www.irs.gov/forms-pubs/about-publication-519 These two pages should be of your and your husband's interest. You have to file since you do have GC, therefore substantial presence test does not apply. The question is still in N-400, you will just simply respond to it "No" (as you have never not filed a tax return - provided it is true going forward as well).

Did you have income in 2023 elsewhere ? If yes, you have to declare it (and you may fall under foreign income tax exclusion and not pay any tax to IRS). This will also make things easier (if you do file tax return) when you file N-400 and have to answer the question about whether you have ever not filed a tax return...

Not sure if you talk about the same thing as Boiler - cap exemption for H-1B has nothing to do with being specialist. If you're not cap exempt, you next H-1B chances are deep into next year.

Only up to a certain limit (seems to be $120k for 2023) - once exceeded, you will have to pay tax on it to IRS. For most it isn't an issue - for decent earner in Germany - it might be.

OP - remember you have to file taxes with IRS on your worldwide income (Germany included) as a US resident - something to remember about if you want to main this residency.

This year I think is first year in a long time where UK is eligible. And DV enrollment is still on going for few more days (until Nov 7th) - https://dvprogram.state.gov/ With H-1B and moving - aside from it also being a lottery unless sponsoring org is cap exempt - remember it is a non-immigrant temporary work visa. At some point it expires.

Yes, nothing stopping them from doing that. Just as others said - expect scrutiny.

Think of this way - there's literally tens of thousands of people with same goal as you - why they're not here ? Because it's neither easy nor fast. For all the employment routes listed above, you have have to provide value for the employer to sponsor / transfer you to US. You have to be better than hundreds of other candidates. There is literally zero certainty in this route and as soon as you make peace with it, easier it will be.

It doesn't really matter where you live - whether you are in US, Japan, Guam or a moon. You have to report your income wherever you earned and if you meet conditions to exclude it (under limit, taxes paid, treaty country where you paid taxes) then you won't pay. IRS doesn't care where you physically are if that makes sense. For them you are a US citizen / PR and have tax liability to them.

Nope, there was no reason to. Regular processing. It is at least more than 5 weeks, who knows how long.

To give everyone an idea, passport application for my daughter (born here, 10yo) that was submitted on Dec 31st 2022 is still "In Process". I'd say 5 weeks is unrealistic at this point.

Then you're not sponsoring anyone, they are applying on their own merits and need to show ties to their own country. Any talk of coming to help you is likely to get them denied.

It's a web based patient portal that someone has created and commercially offered to health providers - like others said - some use it, some don't. If your provider uses it, it makes things easier for you - but first you need to have one. Your account (as far as I know) will only work with your particular provider (healthcare providers in US are businesses and they're regional).

There is no guarantee you will get 6 months of stay at the entry to US with B1/B2 (assuming you get the visa to begin with - which is questionable - how will you answer the question what do you need visa for if you can use VWP ?)

Go ahead and do it and let us know how it worked out. You clearly don't want to listen to people here showing you excerpts of I-864 you yourself signed so go ahead and try it if you think you know it better, No one here will be able to convince you otherwise looks like.
