US Immigration from Russia

Can my Russian wife travel to me here in the US on her visitors visa after we have applied for the CR-1 ?

Hello. I am a green card holder and I have submitted I 130 petition for reunification with my son, he is over 21 years old, lives in Russia, is not married. I received Form I 797 stating that USCIS received a petition and a letter with a code number to access the case in my account.
1. Could you please tell me what notifications (letters) to expect further? I know it takes about 7 years, but I would like to know what and when to expect further notifications and how to track the priority of consideration.

2. How does the status (type) of the case change after I receive citizenship, for example, after 3 years? Does this affect the speed of consideration of the case?

Thank you.

Hello!

I'm just beginning the immigration journey and filling out the required paperwork to bring my wife to USA from Russia. I noticed that there is a section that allows you to enter the embassy you are requesting interview in and noticed that many people had success getting cases transferred from Moscow to Warsaw. Wondering if it's best just to request Warsaw on the I-130 or to place Moscow in this section as this is the Country of residence for my wife. It wasn't immediately clear whether Warsaw was only processing transfer requests or accepting initial requests for interview at US Embassy in Warsaw. If I request Warsaw on the I-130 and it's denied because it's not a transfer request...will it automatically be sent to Moscow? Hope my question makes sense. Awaiting responses!!

Hello

The "resident from date" on my conditional green card was 9/XX/2018, but when I received the permanent green card last year, it showed a "resident from date" of 9/XX/2020.... exactly two years difference.

I found out that when applying for naturalization.

So I am confused, Am I eligible to apply for naturalization under the three years rule ( I am married with a US citizen) based on the resident from date on the conditional green card?

Is there a mistake there which I need to correct? How come there are two different "resident from dates"?

Appreciate your advise.

Thanks in advance.

I am reading that there is (yet another) government shutdown looming.

Hopefully Congress will act and it won't come to this, but if there is a shutdown on October 1st would it affect visa interviews at US Embassies/Consulates?

(My wife is having her CR1 visa interview on October 4th and the last thing we need is for her to be turned away because of this shutdown)

Since there have been shutdowns before in previous years I am wondering if there is any previous experience on this among the VisaJourneyers?
