  1. Filed 12/21/2021 Approved without interview 04/30/2024 I am so excited, my greencard is in pre shipment. Next step is gonna wait for end of june since germany is finally gonna start allowing dual citizenship. So I'm gonna have to start the name change process for germany and then I will apply for citizenship. Can't wait to be done with all the visa stuff haha
  2. Hi ihr lieben, hat jemand Erfahrung mit der Reisepass renewal? Meine Greencard und ID haben meinen neuen Nachnahmen, aber ich wollte gerne meinen Reisepass mit meinem Mädchennamen erneuern weil ich keine Zeit für die deutsche Namensänderung habe. Muss ich da im Formular meinen Mädchennamen als Nachnamen angeben? Ich werde trotzdem meine Eheurkunde einreichen müssen da ja meine GC usw in meinem Ehenamen ist. Ehrlich gesagt bin ich total upset mit mir selber, da ich sonst jemand bin der sich auf alles super vorbereitet und irgendwie habe ich meine Reisepass Gültigkeit total verschlafen. Wollte meine Eltern gerne über Weihnachten besuchen 😞
  3. I know I messed up not checking my passport earlier but my German passport expired in June and I was wanting to travel to Germany to visit my family for Christmas. I can get a new passport until then easily through the normal application but I was wondering if it would be possible to apply for it with my maiden name since you have to apply for a name change through marriage to get my new name on the passport. All my American documents (ID, greencard etc) are with my new last name, will this be a problem during the application? I am ok with receiving a new passport with my maiden name. Did anyone else go through this and can give me some advice? thank you
  4. Visa Journey says any day now, but we are at Potomac... So I am guessing its gonna take another year?
  5. Wow I really thought I've read a lot in the past, but I did not know this either. I guess at this point it does not matter anymore once Germany allows dual citizenships. Thank you so much for that insight.
  6. Yeah I am so glad I asked here because I was under the impression I had to get a stamp. Also thank you for the tip with the expiration date, because I feel like if you put an expired greencard, they gonna be like what? They almost didnt let me on the plane back when I flew in with my k1 visa, because I didnt have a return ticket. And yeah I am still debating if I want to do it, the dual citizenship is one point, the other one is what happens if we move back to germany some time down the road. Because the US wants you to pay taxes even if you live overseas. Its such a weird concept to me, since Germany does not make me do that.
  7. im so sorry yes i meant passport! And oh wow I didnt know i could travel with the extension letter. Thank you so much for your insights, I will have to look into that!
  8. Hey guys, just a question i am also a december 2021 filer, but I am planning on traveling to germany for christmas this year or maybe even before that. What are the steps for me? Like I know you can get a visa stamp in your password? But how do I do that, because I haven't seen anything where I could make an appointment in Norfolk with our Local office. I only have the extension letter, my greencard is expired. And since I am already typing, is there a reason a lot of you guys decided to do the N400? Because I was kinda hoping I can just refile my greencard stuff every 10 years, because I dont want to become a US Citizen. I know that might sound weird for some of you, but its not super easy to have dual citizenship and I would never want to give up my german citizenship.
