@Hussein Kubadi Please post your questions in a separate topic. This is a TIMELINE ONLY thread.
(Casa, not CR001)
Please don't send me PMs asking for immigration advice on posts that are on the open forum. If I haven't responded there, it's because I don't have the answer. I'm a moderator, not a legal professional.
