Hello everyone and salam

as some of you may know, I am married to an American citizen, applied in Feb. 2016 and it was smooth until I got my interview scheduled in Jan. 2017 then I have been on AP since then

I got a call from the embassy about a month and a half ago asking me to send them new medical exam, new police certificate, my passport and resubmit the ds-260 online after they reopened it for me

i did that then once they received it they sent an email asking me to schedule an email, it was confusing because it was one of their molded emails like the thing u wud get from NVC so I emailed them and they said it is for retaking the oath (I guess it is since I resubmitted the ds-260) I scheduled it and attended last Sunday and the African American small cheerful man told me congratulations and that I will have my passport via aramex in two weeks after making me swear that the data is correct

got one update that day and another yesterday but nothing serious  

i hope this gives you some hope  prayers for everyone including myself

hang on there

 

Great news to hear that. Wish all the best for your new move InshaAllah.

Thanks so much for sharing this! You just gave us a lot of hope 😊  Is your husband here in the US now?

my husband will not be coming into USA until after our 2 year anniversary so we don't have to deal with ROC, this process was bad enough

Can you clarify? I know that a visa issued in the IR1 category has an expiration of 1 month; that is, you must travel to the U.S within one month of its issuance. I'm not sure about CR1, but I think that's your case's category, so what's the validity of the visa here?

Also, what is an ROC?

My husbands medical was in Aug, when his visa was issued it had an expiration date 6 months from the date of his medical. we got married Jan 31, 2017 so if he comes into USA 2 years after he will get an 10 year green card so even though we applied for CR1 visa it all depends on the time he arrives in USA if he gets a 10 year green card. if his visa were to expire before our 2 year and he was forced into USA before he would only hold a 2 year conditional green card and we would have to pay ROC removing of conditions so he could get the 10 year green card. His visa does not expire until Feb 7, 2019....so he will enter into USA on Feb 1st 2019 this will give him a 10 year green card and then after being in USA for 3 years we can file for his citizenship.

 

All visas have an expiration date of 6 months from the date of the medical, if the visa is issued after 5 months of the medical that would explain a 1 month until expiration date.

Interesting points, but if the visa is issued already, then I think it won't matter when you enter the U.S. because of the fact that the visa was issued under CR1 category, right? Have you looked at the category printed on your visa? I think it's under "IV Category" label, to the right.

I know his visa was issued under CR1, but it all depends on when the entry stamp is also for the USA, if he enters after our 2 year he will get a 10 year green card and not have to deal with ROC.

The link below says it depends on the type of visa issued, I saw nothing regarding the date of entry. Can you tell me how do you know this for sure?

It is taking a lot of time nowadays as I have heard and it is also different from a case to another as I have heard

I wish you will have something very soon

"make sure to point to the immigration officer at the port of entry so that he/she stamps your passport for permanent, not conditional, residence."

Very good information, I hope it's still valid. Thank you.
