US Immigration from Russia

Given current ROC processing time, if my interview for citizenship is before ROC is approved, can I still take the oath and become citizen? Thank you.

This site was incredibly useful for us 15-ish years ago as we got married and she came to the USA. I've done the career thing and will soon retire. What's good for the goose (living in the USA during my career) is good for the gander (returning to Russia when not constrained by work to live in the States). So we're looking at a return this year or the next or surely the one after that. Starting to plan, that is.

I'm wondering if there are others here who've come this far in the journey and getting ready for an adventure like we face? We've lots of practical questions, often the reverse of those often asked here.

Cheers!

My son received his US immigration visa about a month ago. He decided to return to Russia to wrap up several things going on in his life then travel to the US in March. Now it appears he wants to marry his girlfriend. Has anyone heard of a situation like this? I'm not sure what to tell him, can he get married in Russia then fly to the US by himself with the idea of bringing her over later? Would it be better for them to wait until he gets settled in the US? Any ideas or information would be helpful.

Thanks!

I became aware of something that I believe may constitute an immigration fraud.
My acquaintance, a Ukrainian woman, got married to a citizen of Israel in 2018. The marriage was registered in Cyprus. The marriage lasted only few months, the couple resided in Israel. After breaking up, the wife moved back to her country. The Israeli spouse filed for divorce and she was summoned to a court in Israel, to which she refused. At that time she argued that she did not inform her home country authorities of her marriage, thus she remained "unmarried" in Ukraine and did not need to go through the divorce procedures. In communication with friends she admitted that she tried to extort some "compensation" from the Israeli spouse in exchange to her appearance in a court. The husband rejected the claims and that's where their communication ceased.
In 2020 the said lady met an American man on the Internet and visited him in the US. Then last summer she entered the country along with her minor child on B1/B2 visas with the intent to stay. I learned that they recently got married and plan to apply for AOS. When I confronted the lady regarding her previous marriage and whether she was going to disclose it in her I-485 application, she evaded and stopped communicating. I warned her that what she was doing considered illegal. I am not discussing the moral aspect of the story. I am not sure whether her US husband is aware of the previous marriage. I believe he may be not.
Now I am facing a dilemma, do I have a legal/moral obligation to report her actions to USCIS? Please advise.

P.S. Apologies if posting in a wrong forum.

On December 8th we heard from NVC saying co-sponsor s form was rejected. Further information said that all pages must be submitted even if blank. Our lawyer said all pages were submitted correctly and it is the fault of NVC s antiquated system that sometimes doesn t accept all pages. Lawyer resubmitted our cosponsor form that day, but we haven t heard anything back from NVC to say this submittal was accepted.

Also petitioner did not file taxes 2020. Lawyer said no problem and no need to explain to NVC why he didn t file. Son thought he should write explanation, but lawyer assured him he didn t need to. Well, NVC notified petitioner that he needs to submit explanation so that was done immediately and submitted the next day. Again we haven t heard anything back from NVC about the resubmitted form or the tax explanation or whether it is accepted or not.
Then on December 16th a message from the state department to our congresswomen (who is helping us expedite for medical reasons and who asked that the application skip the review process and go straight to the IV unit) said the petition for wife s spousal visa was transferred directly to the US embassy in Tbilisi. We thought maybe this was good news, but as of January 9th We have not heard anything from the US embassy as to whether or not the expedite has been approved or whether we will have an interview soon. We have no response to the re-submitted cosponsor form or the petitioner s explanation for not filing taxes last year.

First, has anyone else had a form Rejected for not all pages going through? Could it really be the fault of NVC s antiquated system as our lawyer said?

Secondly, does anyone have any idea why the petition got transferred to embassy, but no mention of acceptance of cosponsor form ? And no mention of approving or denying expedite?

Any advice , suggestions, or insight from members here is appreciated.
