Hello,

I understand that you receive conditional residency if you have been married for less than two years. Suppose you would get your embassy approval a few months prior to being married for two years, if you enter the United States after that 2 year mark, will you still enter as a conditional resident, or will you enter as a permanent resident and get the 10 year card?

I can report that our packet, which was sent from the Texas Service Center on the 24th of January (according to USCIS), arrived at the NVC on the 31st.

Pl. fill your Time line an wht is your PD????

February 28th, I believe.

I can report that our I-130 was approved today, after 10 months and 19 days (no RFE's). A belated present from the federal government.

It was moved to TSC around Oct. 25th after a service request. We also got the 60 day promise nonsense when it was moved, and unsurprisingly they missed the mark. So our lawyer called the USCIS last night, upon which they gave a loose estimate of "within 60 days". The application was approved a few hours later. I'm not sure if there's any correlation between the two, but it cant hurt to try and call the USCIS for those of you who are still waiting.

Best of luck to all those of you who are still waiting.

I wish to thank everyone for their advice. I also wish everyone who is in the visa application process the best of luck.

Unfortunately I did not see what these so-called sarcastic remarks were before they were deleted. I imagine they are related to the political ideology I identify with. If you gentlemen are so eager to discuss my political affiliations, then feel free to PM me.

Thank you for your responses.

Yes, I am a communist, but I am not currently, nor have I ever been, in any way, shape or form, affiliated with any communist parties, or any parties which were formerly classified as "communist". Whatever political involvement I may or may not have partaken in would have been conducted in a highly private and anonymous manner and enviroment. I am also NOT a national of a country which has at some point in its history been under the rule of a so-called Communist Party. I am a national of a western european country, a non major and very low-risk country. I do not have a criminal record of any kind, nor have I had one which has been purged. I do not now, nor have I ever, used, taken, abused, whatever, anything that is classified as an illegal drug.

My U.S. citizen has no criminal history short of various minor traffic violations. She also does not now, nor has ever, used, taken, abused, etc., anything that is classified as an illegal drug. She has no tattoos, but is left-leaning and if USCIS decides to simply google her, they will likely come to the same conclusion, that she is left-leaning, ie. left not as in liberal but left as in actual left.

I am aware that being a communist is not necessarily a crime in the United States, however, from what I understand there is an actual law that more or less bars communists from becoming United States citizens through naturalization.

Hey. I have a hammer and sickle tattoo on my chest and arm, and am filing for CR-1. The hammer and sickle is a symbol of communism. As you are aware, Americans do not take kindly to communists. I believe the law even goes so far as to state that communists are incapable of becoming American citizens via naturalization. I understand that during the CR-1 process you will undergo a medical exam - I am wondering if during this they will make note of the tattoo. Does anyone have experience? And are there any other steps in the journey where they might notice said tattoos?

Thank you.
