Good afternoon everyone,

My husband ( Dual citizen Iranian and Canadian ) applied for CR1 and in DS 260 form they asking to upload document. They asked for Canada police clearance and Iran police clearance, he wasn't in Iran for 20 years. Also they are asking for military document which he was in 2 years service ( Sepah) when he was in Iran. I asked him to translate that military service card and upload it into website. 

Is that going to be a problem due to Trump ban if he served 2 years in Iran? Is anybody with dual citizenship connected to ban countries recently got immigrant  visa approval?

I also have dual citizenship. Born in Canada but I have an Iranian passport because my parents are Iranian. I applied for a K1 visa and was approved and received my visa 2 days after my interview. I was questioned about my Iranian citizenship and travel to Iran during the interview and I just explained.

 

Your husband may go through administrative processing (AP) because of his citizenship and previously being in the military. AP can last a few months at the Montreal consulate.

 

My brother in law is a Canadian permanent resident and holds an Iranian passport. They issued him a B2 visa through the waiver. He had no problems at all.

It doesn't matter if he hasn't lived in Iran for 20 years, he needs a police clearance for any and all countries he's lived in for 6 months or more over the age of 16.

PCC from Iran are not required for immigration purposes. The US government considers them unreliable and doesn't require them.
