Help for military spouse here on K1 visa

Good day everyone,

I am currently waiting for my adjustment of status, after coming to the US this year on a K1 visa.

My husband will be in officer school (a military training) starting January until end of May 2021. He has orders and I have a copy, which states how long he will be gone. He will also be deployed by the end of June, and we will both move to Germany together. We have a letter with a date for that as well. I am trying to find out, if it would be possible to go to the Adjustment of Status Interview by myself, because he will not be able to go there with me. Does someone on here know/ has been in a similar situation and can provide me with some tips, I am also trying to get an expedite so I will have a Residency card before I leave the US with my husband.

So far, I have done some research and called the USCIS Military Hotline twice. I have received some contradicting information regarding my first question - if he has to be there during the interview. After I pointed out that it says on their website that the USCIS office can conduct the interview without my spouse being present, if he is deployed, they said, oh yes it should be possible, but I would need to have proof that he is not able to travel to the interview. I asked, if it is possible He will not be deployed, he will be on a training, so I would like to make sure that I am going to be able to attend that interview.

I asked, if it is possible to get an expedite, and they read out a couple of categories, which I had to choose from. I chose "humanitarian reasons" with the reasoning that I am a dependent of military personnel, who will have to leave the country on official orders in June 2021. And that I would not be able to pay rent if I had to stay behind. The lady put in the expedite request, and I will see, if it will go through. If not, she said to ask for another expedite once I receive my biometric appointment. If anyone has been in a similar situation, or knows, if there is any additional form of support for military personnel, I would be really grateful for any help. I would have thought that the Army would be able to help out somewhat, but so far, we have not received any help, the JAG office (Army lawyer) was not able to help us in the past either (I received 2 rejections for my paperwork with no explanation). Maybe it would be an idea to contact them again? Thank you very much for your help!

N-400 form {"data":null,"error":{"developerMessage":null,"userMessage":null}} message

A few questions: I filed my N400 naturalization on March 23, 2020. Nearly one year later on Feb 2021 they sent me a notice that they'll reuse my biometrics from my green card application, but they won't refund the biometric fee! At the same time April 2021 showed up on my account as the expected completion date. Last week, the status was "17 days". Today the estimated time of completion has disappeared!!! Any idea what that means? More importantly - When I click on "View PDF" link under "N-400 Application for Naturalization", to see my actual N-400 form, I get " {"data":null,"error":{"developerMessage":null,"userMessage":null}} " message! The form is also missing under "Documents -> Your Uploads" tab! So, it appears that my N400 form is missing! What does that all mean, considering that it's impossible to file without N400 form! Finally, under profile, My name is incorrectly sp...

Navigating the U.S. Family-Based Immigration Visa Process

For families hoping to immigrate to the United States, the visa process can be overwhelming. With so much uncertainty and complexity involved, it's important to have a clear understanding of the steps and requirements. The first step is determining which family-based immigration visa applies to you. There are two types: immediate relatives and family preference. The former includes spouses, parents, and unmarried children under the age of 21 who are U.S. citizens. Family preference visas are for more distant relatives such as siblings, married children of U.S. citizens, and spouses and unmarried children of permanent residents. Once you know which visa you're eligible for, you'll need to file a petition with USCIS (United States Citizenship and Immigration Services). This step requires providing documentation such as birth certificates and marriage licenses, as well as proof of your relationship to the U.S. citizen or permanent resident sponsoring you. After your petitio...
