Hello all, nice to meet you. I am an American, and I am currently living in Germany with my German husband. We married in the USA last October, and decided that we would like to give living in America a try.
So, we went through the first step and filed all of the necessary forms for the petition, which was approved. However, we've had a bit of a delay (okay, a huge delay) with the next step, and near the end of this month, our petition will expire. I notified the Consulate and requested an extension, but I haven't heard anything from them yet, which is a bit worrying.
I've looked all over the net to see if I can just simply refile in the case that it expires, but I'm not sure. I was also told that a petition can only be filed once every ten years. Is this true?? I would greatly appreciate anyone who is able to clear this up for us!
(On a side note, if anyone needs to know something about immigrating to Germany, I'm happy to help!)
