RABBITDANCE

I can't seem to edit my post so I'll just restate my question. I already have been transferred to an embassy and paid the fees. Now I'm just working on the applicaiton. I want to know how long I have to complete my application if there is any deadline at all.

I'm not seeing the relationship of your answer to my question?

I'm wondering what the time frame is to complete and ubmit the green card application. I've started working on it and have already paid the fees and had the casae transferred to the embassy in Frankfurt, Germany, but the application forms are very difficult to undersatnd how to fill out even after reading all the instrutions and asking for help in this forum, I'm just not making very fast progress. As long as I log in once a month can I take few years to complete this, or is there some kind of deadline I need to be aware of?

I am filling in a fillable PDF and there is no room for this country code. Did you not use the fillable form?

Is it ok to put the "daytime phone number' of the petiioner and the beneficiary as the German cell phone numbers we use? The form doesn't any room to add country code or way to indicat which country the numbers are in. Vice versa, what if I prefer them to call my US phone even though I live in Germany? Whoever desinged this form maybe had a lapse and dint' think to add a box for country code, so how do they call anyone if they dont' know what country the phone number is in?

I'm looking at the affidavit of support. I put my mailing address as my Germany address as we're being processed in Germany consulate having been transfered there. I will supply evidence of doicle in the US using my US address because the form asks me to provide US domicile evidnece attachmetns. This domicle address directly conflicts with the US mailing address where I need to send the green card. I assume (but am not sure) that it's ok for my mailing address on this fomr to be a Germany address, for my US domicile address to be the one on my US driver's license and where I'm registered to vote, and finally a third mailing address for where my green card goes which I assume will be asked on a differetn form in the process. I'm just freaking out a bit because of all the different addresses I have and trying to anticipate problems. Sorry for any lack of clarity in my question.

Well I'm actually referring to the section of the USCIS affidavit of support where it asks for evidence of domicile in the US, despite my having filled out the German physical and Germain mailing addesses where I live which are the same. But my domicile address in the US cannot receive mail. I am using that address as my "legal address" for example what is reported to banks as my legal address. I'm using a different valid physical and mailing address in the US to have the green card sent to. So I am just thinking ahead as to what problems this might cause, when the check my credit report or my domicile evidence submission, and find the address is in one city and they see my green card going to a different mailing address.

Thanks. Actually the issue I'm really wondering about is the evidence of domicile status in the US question on the affidavit of support. The domicile I use has plenty of evidence, including my driver's license showing that address. However, since it's not an address that can accept mail, I need to use a different address as my phyical and mailing address for where the green card will be delivered. One address does not accept mail and is used for credit score, etc. The other would accept mail but is not my legal address.

On the form I-964 affidavit of support, Part 6, Sponsor's Employment and Income, it asks, in question 7 for "My current annual income". The instructions for this question state, "Type or print your current individual, earned, or retirement annual income that you are using to meet the requirements of this affidavit and indicate the total in the space provided. For this question I chose to enter only my ordinary pay. I also get some frindge benefit income such as income that is forumala based for various reasons in addition to my fixed ordinary salary, but decided to keep it simple as they make no mention of those things and refer to the term "earned" income in the question. So for exmple let's say I put here $100,000. Then on question 12 it asks for "My current Annual Household Income (Total from all lines from part 6) and it says the total will be compared with the poverty guideliness. Again I entered the same number, say $100,000 for example. I am not including rental property income as it has no option to provide that. It does have an option for self-employment income but that's not what rentals typically are considered, and the IRS forms they want for self-employment do not match. I figured it does not matter as I'm making enough earned income to pass the test. Finally, question 16a asks me to enter my most recent total income. I use form 1040, not 1040EZ. The PDF of instructions for this item say "Type or fill in the most recent tax year and your total income for that most recent tax year." The instructions also state, "for the purpose of this affidavit, the line for Total Income on IRS Forms 1040 and 1040A will be considered when determining income. The instructions also specify a different figure to use for 1040EZ, but that does not apply to me as I don't use that form. The potential problem I see here is my total income, which comes from line 9 on 2024 Form 1040, is extremely low due to FEIE (Foreigner Earned Income Exclusion) I assume, which lowers my "Total Tax". It comes to less than 25,000. Is this going to disqualify me, even though I have an annual income of at least 100,000? Or is this a common situation and nothing to worry about?

Thanks, but you aren't quite understanding my quesiton. My legal address cannot be changed and it cannot receive mail. That's the crux of the issue. The legal address is what is used in credit checks, which I assume they do. The form asks specifically for "legal address" not "address where green card will be mailed"

I know that green cards are not sent to PO boxes. I'm not clear how that relates to my question, but thank you.

What I should have said is my question hasn't been answered yet. I still do not know if my "legal address" which does not receive mail (it's a rural mountain address) can be used as my legal address. This is not the address I'm listing for where to mail the green card, but it is my current legal address in the USA.

I can see that nobody really read my question

That doesn't make any sense. The web portal is an online an account. Ih ave a user name and passsword. It's the USCIS webste. I don't understand what you mean by this not being the online account? That makes NO SENSE.

Yes, I do have an online USCIS account. When I said I searched my USCIS account, I was referring to the web portal. There is no number there that I could find.
