    What a mess... I'm glad that in Hawaii voter reg at the DMV is on a separate second page behind the DL application/renewal form so it's at least easy to make a point of ticking "No, I'm not a USC" and definitely not signing it. Anyone know what it's like in Texas or Florida by any chance?

    Out of curiosity, does anyone of you still not see the progress tab in your account? (Yes I know the times shown are not to be trusted, please spare me the lecture lol)

  9. ghostinthemachine
    There are more eligible "Qualifying Employment Abroad" types other than military for 319(b). As long as you have made sure that you fall under one of the eligible employment types your spouse can technically apply for his N400 as soon as he has his GC. I'm not sure what kinda document you could obtain from your organisation to show that a) your husband will be joining you abroad and will return to the US with you immediately after conclusion of your project and that b) you have at least a year worth of work left in Albania. For mil filings you would typically include a DD Form 1278 signed by a commander so perhaps that can give you an indication of what you would need from your organisation. Most people applying under 319(b) tend to have their interview/oath at the Fairfax office as they see the most 319(b) applications come through, but you can technically request any FO within the US. Keep in mind your spouse will need to travel back to the US for both interview and oath. Oath might not be same-day. He will need a US passport to depart the country so will likely need an emergency passport appointment if this is supposed to only be a quick trip. Refer to this link for how to file specifically: https://www.uscis.gov/policy-manual/volume-12-part-g-chapter-4

    They recently changed the wording from "actively reviewed" to "still being processed". Same same.

    I believe it depends where you apply. Was under the impression card payments are only for applying at a Passport Agency directly (vs. a Passport Acceptance Facility like a post office etc.)

    You are looking for the "Europe/Middle East/Africa/Canada" option in the State dropdown. For reference, these are the correct options for all APO/FPOs in case anyone else comes across this thread: AA - "Americas excluding Canada" AE - "Europe/Middle East/Africa/Canada" AP - "Pacific"
  18. ghostinthemachine
    I'm very much aware and that wasn't my question whatsoever. Not sure why everyone feels the need to say the same thing on here all the time quite frankly.

    Sorry to butt in on another thread I have no business being in, but I was just curious what day it updated for you? It seems for a lot of CR1 or AOS filings there happen to be big batch updates from what I've seen, but there's very little chat about 751 APIs. Mine updated to FTA0 on 1/13/25, almost a whole year after filing 🫠

    Sorry to hear. I'll likely do the same once we file our 2024 taxes this month.

  26. ghostinthemachine
    Are you referring to "Eintragung im Eheregister"? If so, my suggestion would be to contact the Standesamt at your last place of residence in Germany as they are the ones who have to process your petition. There's a general list of documents and the form needed on the AA website, BUT you know what bureaucracy is like at home so the local office might want something specific in addition to those. Ask them to confirm which documents they need translated and if any of them need to be notarised/apostilled too whilst you're at it. Fwiw I never got our marriage acknowledged at home and it doesn't change anything as long as your current marriage cert is accepted as a proper document (which it should if you got married in the US). You also don't need to acknowledge your marriage to officially change your name, those are two separate procedures.

    Yes. Sponsor has to paper file the I-865 within 30 days of moving.

    Seriously think I might be blind, but the only reference to previous marriages I see is this and it doesn't ask any further questions: Is this what you guys are referring to?
  32. ghostinthemachine
    Where in the N400 online or paper form does it ask for this? I've seen it in neither.

    I know what "head of household" means from an income tax perspective. You're not filling out a tax return. Again, USCIS =/= IRS. And I guess I missed the point that you aren't even wanting to apply to a fee reduction so there's no need for you to fill it out either way.
  34. ghostinthemachine
    USCIS =/= IRS. This is from the page about fee waivers, but I'd assume they apply the same logic to fee reductions too:
