after that I think 3 yrs you can qualify to become US citizen.  so far I think its 10 yrs issue period.

3 years if sponsored by your spouse, 5 years otherwise. you can also still apply for citizenship if you become eligible while ROC is processing. given the long time it takes for ROC to process, many people end up applying for citizenship before they get their 10 year green cards.

*And still married to, and living in a marital union with, that same spouse at the time of filing citizenship application, and even if you weren’t sponsored by said spouse so long as you’ve been married the whole 3 years you’ve had your green card

Oops, I thought that your spouse had to sponsor you for citizenship too but I just looked it up and all they need to do is provide some basic information. My bad!

Just got off the phone with those lovely people at the NVC - 1 hour 5 min wait time (I think that is a record so far!)

 

For all Australian people awaiting an interview...if there are any of you hiding in the shadows: They are still in the process of scheduling for the month of February.

 

I thanked the woman for her time and was about to get off the phone and she quickly told me that she can't tell me when I will receive a date. Which made me laugh because it was clearly a knee jerk reaction to every call she gets with people hassling them with questions they can not answer.

 

Big thanks for the tip @dwheels76  - I read it about 200 comments back when you were responding to someone about how and what to ask with regards to interview appointments.

 

For those playing along at home the question was : "Have they started scheduling at *insert consulate/embassy here* yet?" I added for February.

 

and then I just reconfirmed the fact, asking if they were still scheduling interviews. In other words, is the process still ongoing right now.

 

 

Again a huge thanks for everything you do @dwheels76 and the continual knowledge you impart onto us all...not to mention your patience

 

Have a great day/night all!  

 

 

I did the same thing! Used her advice and got more answers than I ever have.

Whew Chile I almost cursed! Do y’all know how much of a Godsend @dwheels76 is? She’s contributed to our community more than ANYONE! We are all on this journey together, learning from one another and we’re supposed to be supporting each other not finding flaws in things. True, people don’t update their timelines and sometimes they use wrong dates. Shoot I mistakingly put my DQ date as 12/26 when it was really 12/24. It’s not that deep! And that surely ain’t her fault! That spreadsheet is the BEST TOOL we have and it helps ease my anxiety to see where others are. It gives me hope. I’m not just out here wondering or guessing as much. I can see patterns. And if I have questions she has always been here to answer them for all of us even though it is not her job! She’s compiles information from her threads and people’s timelines into a spreadsheet so we don’t have to be looking through every Nigerian (or other) timeline for DQ and interview dates (though my anxiety makes me look anyway sometimes lol). I thank God for her. Seems the issue is over but I’m late to the party and figured I’d say my piece too. Carry on. Looking forward to my IL!

DQ today. Details sent to you @dwheels76. Thanks for taking the time to put the spreadsheet together.

Does anyone know how long it takes to take the conditions off the CR1 visa? Also is there a certain wait period your spouse will have to wait before they can file to become a citizen?

Lol you are 100% correct. I haven’t had a good night’s rest since we got the IL two days ago... only four more weeks to go 😬😅 My anxiety is off the chain!

I remember when we got out interview date. We had Case Complete 2/9 and missed the March Interview Scheduling. So we sat till March 3rd and got our date for April 28th. That was the longest 7 weeks I swear. It seemed endless. But I was blessed to be living over in Nigeria with my husband so that was cool.

 

You will be fine.

after you remove the conditions on the 2 year green card do you then get issued a normal green card there after? Also is 10 years a standard years issued on every person green card? Also in that 10 years can you then prepare yourself to fill to be a united states citizen?

Well the 2 years green card is a green card. But i get your question. We are going through this now and citizenship filing.

90 days from the day you become LPR (Legal Permanent Resident) you can file within that 90 day window your I-751 to remove conditions to get 10 year green card.

 

Then 1 year later 90 days from your 3 year anniversary as a LPR you are eligible to file for citizenship. As longg as you are still married to your US citizen spouse.

 

We filed ROC (Removal of Conditions) 19 months ago. And filed for Citizenship 8 months ago.
