US Immigration from Russia

I filed two IR-5 visa applications for my parents and both cases were just documentarily qualified (DQ'ed). I did not submit any translation to English of those documents on the CEAC site, and this is why:

According to Travel State Gov website --- Please note that all documents not written in English, or in the official language of the country from which you are applying, must be accompanied by certified translations. All of the submitted documents are either in Russian, Kazakh or both, so I figured there was no need to translate.

Could someone please confirm if at their interview (any immigration visa interview) the translations were absolutely required? Was anyone able to go in without them?

Thanks all.

They asked for CV 6 months ago, we provided CV and college diploma 5 months ago, they emailed us today asking for a CV that includes his high school education.

???

You can't go to college in Russia without a high school degree? Normal CV's only include high school if you haven't gone to college? They didn't ask for high school education specifically in their initial request, they asked my fiance for college and work which we provided?

The frustration is infinite.

Long wait, but tears in my eyes.

Hi all,
Could you please help me solve this question:

In August 2023, two years have passed since the date of receipt of the conditional green card by marriage. 90 days before, we applied for a permanent green card. Instead of a permanent green card, I received a letter that my conditional card had been extended for another 48 months.

The question is that if there was a permanent green card, as far as I know, then after 9 months it would be possible to apply for citizenship. Is it possible to do the same with an extended conditional green card?

Thank you!

Hey everyone!

I'm a bit confused about some of the wording for the police certificate requirements, particularly the residence part. My husband (Russian) and I (American) have been essentially traveling around since we got engaged and now married, while we await this immigration process. We've been in Egypt (husband worked/had residence for 5 months), Turkey (tourist visa/visa-free and overstay for 4-5 months [only overstayed because of unsuccessful residence applications]), Armenia (visa-free 6 months), and now we're going to the Philippines because of the seemingly perpetual tourist visa extensions.

The only country my husband had official residence was Egypt. Will we eventually need to get police certificates for Armenia, Philippines, (maybe Turkey?)? Anyone who has had a similar experience, would love to hear what you had to do!
