US Immigration from Kenya

I don't get this....this dude served in the US marines and got discharged in 2003. He just got a GC 1 month ago .

1. Don't you need to be a USC to serve in the Marines?

2. If 1 above is true, then how's he just getting a GC? Shouldn't he have been a citizen before joining Marines? I know for Navy, you have to be citizen. For military, GC

My spouse and I are still waiting. We were DQ'd in April '2024. We've been waiting years in this process since we got married. Anyone have any updates on how long Nairobi Kenya US embassy Consular is taking to interview immediate relative cases?

Will owing taxes back to the IRS result in a Visa Rejection, or if I make enough to be able to support my Fianc I should be fine.

Ok so here's the deal folks. According to CEAC, my fiance's application is marked as READY with the case last updated March 14 2024.

I've done some research (which confused me further) and have found that some are saying we need to wait for an appointment letter, and others are saying just schedule it anyways without it. Embassy is in Nairobi and she's a Kenyan national, has never lived outside Kenya etc. Pretty cut and dry.

Here's my questions:

1. Do we absolutely need this golden ticket of a letter?

2. If we DON'T, can we just schedule the appointment and proceed with the necessary documents etc?

3. How much longer should we wait before trying to get ahold of someone at the embassy for some kind of update?

4. Will I (the petitioner) receive the letter for the appointment, or will she?

Thanks for any assistance!

Anyone else DQ'ed at NVC early this year and you're waiting for your interview date at the Nairobi Consulate?

All of our documents were "Accepted" in like 7 days after uploading.

Sent an inquiry to NVC after 90 days and was told in a canned response that we are in the queue and it is fifo (first in first out). 4 months being DQ'ed and no word.

Anyone else held up at NVC heading to Nairobi or anywhere else?
