Hello everyone, I hope everybody is well with their family and all. I would like your advise if possible, and here is my case:

This coming september (2007) I am supposed to file to lift the conditions. I will do so in september. Since I am joining the Marines most likely I will be sent overseas for at least 15 months. Do I have to worry aboput immigration process while I am abroad?? Next, I know that after they receive my application to remove conditions, I get one year extra so I can go overseas. Do you guys thing or heard anything like my case before? If so pls help. Thank you very much for your time and consideration.

Thank you.

I recall that you can't join up until you have completed your Removal of Conditions (had it approved). Do you know something different? Always eager to learn...

Hello,

There are some different rules applying to Active Duty Military Personnel with regard to immigration. If USCIS can't help you, talk to your recruiter who should be able to obtain information for you. There is also an expedite available for your citizenship if you are Active Duty, I think there is info on the USCIS website.

Best wishes and good luck with your military career!

Permanent Resident Since 01/03/2007

meuxa ,

I went to USCIS office and they said that it is okay to join the armed forces.

i'm sure it's OK with them. I thought it was the Armed Forces that had the problem with the conditional status.

Good luck!

I think at this point as long as ur not homosexual, they will take you!!

Canadians Visiting the USA while undergoing the visa process, my free advice:

1) Always tell the TRUTH. never lie to the POE officer

2) Be confident in ur replies

3) keep ur response short and to the point, don't tell ur life story!!

4) look the POE officer in the eye when speaking to them. They are looking for people lieing and have been trained to find them!

5) Pack light! No job resumes with you

6) Bring ties to Canada (letter from employer when ur expected back at work, lease, etc etc)

7) Always be polite, being rude isn't going to get ya anywhere, and could make things worse!!

8) Have a plan in case u do get denied (be polite) It wont harm ur visa application if ur denied,that is if ur polite and didn't lie! Refer to #1

Just saw this thread whilst searching for some other information, and thought I'd throw in my $0.02 as I've researched this issue a lot - you don't have to remove the conditions in order to join the Navy, Army, or Marines...the USAF specifically requires that you have lifted the conditions, the Coast Guard I've yet to find out, but am checking with recruiters. If you need links to the recruiting manuals where it tells you this, let me know :thumbs:
