Hi everyone!
I posted on here a few times with some questions and you all were incredibly helpful. I am a dual US/Italian citizen living and working in Italy with my Dutch husband. We have been together 10 years, recently married. Throughout this time I have maintained domicile in the US by voting, paying income taxes, working for US-based employers, maintaining US bank accounts, and maintaining a physical US address which I visit frequently.
Since the last time I posted, I actually decided not to take the employment that was offered me in 2022 from Employer A because I was offered a better and remote position from Employer B. I have remained in their employ since 2022. However, my husband and I want to move to the US by August 2025, or at least want to start the process to be moving to the US by then.
I would love to know if anyone on this board has done direct consular filing (DCF) in Italy and if so, how the process has gone. I've read a number of threads from others in the past, but am looking for current info. Also, important: would my situation constitute an exception valid for DCF? My employer has opened an office in NYC and my position will no longer be remote. So, I am not accepting a new job, but rather my role with the same company has changed significantly. Would this constitute an exceptional circumstance? My employer is willing to be contacted/provide any sorts of support documents needed. I have sent an e-mail to the competent consulate for advice but they don't answer often.
Thank you!
Hi guys. Quick question. My spouse and I are going for DCF. When he gets the immigrant visa and enters the US with it, is he automatically considered a US permanent resident at that point? Many thanks.
