Does being a member of USSR communist party years ago present an issue during I-485 process?

[ConnorLee 5]

To those who know somebody or themselves mentioned on their I-485 application for Green Card form that he/she was a member of communist party in USSR 30 years ago, how was your experience like? Did it really presented an issue for you? I didn't see any issue at first as everybody who wanted to build some sort of career at the time had to become a member and my relative left part on his own volition before collapse of USSR. But after I looked online and asked this question on Avvo, I learned that you are being put on some list, will have to give all your contacts to them and it will take much longer for you to adjudicate. Is this true? How was your or your acquaintance experience like?

Thank you.
