Something weird happened!

[Der Bücherwurm 1]

Engineer, Israeli military, Navy submariner, marrying a biologist....Yep, they want to know if they need to ship him off to some covert CIA location for debriefing.

...but seriously now. Is that really going to make more problems for us? The fact that he is an Engineer and has worked for the military (which, by the way he had a top security clearance, for that company). And about the submariner part he's never even told me what they did in the navy. I asked but he couldn't tell me. I honestly never thought about it, and never thought they'd mind. As I said before, I thought that it was a good thing he was so professional.

I really hope it doesn't slow things down. I'm sad. I'm leaving next Friday, and we were hoping he'd be coming a week or two after me. Hopefully it's just standard procedure, like everyone said.

I don't think it really matters so much given our friendly relations with Israel. Don't worry about it. Now if he were Iranian or Arab they might be more worried. I had to fill out all of our papers because my husband was determined to leave off his military service which he only did because it was required. He's convinced they will think he's some sort of militaristic Islamist. Which is funny because when he was in the Navy he spent all of two days on a submarine. The rest of the time he was on land teaching recruits IT. Not to mention he took part in the protests against the regime 10 years ago. I had to tell him that it isn't good to lie or omit information because they would probably find out as closely as they scrutinize Iranian applicants in AP.

This is a thought, I do not think that your husband's work history effect anything. What I think is if your husband has RF engineering experience the US may be interested in this. The USCIS is processing work visas for people with high tech and advanced degrees ot experience. The US is in need of electronics engineers. The company I work for has in the past 3 years has had two buildings at my location and other new buildings in other states. They do telecommunications; RF, UHF, and VHF along with avionics. The hunt is on to get engineers. I can tell you the experienced engineers are in high demand. This is just what I think may be happening. I know the Israeli military has some very advanced systems. I think the USCIS may see him for his education and electronics experience for companies like the one I work for.

It hopefully only means that it will take longer for them to issue the visa as they will be checking more into his profile. Thants the most likely scenario. Don't lose your sleep over it.
