I'm sorry if this topic exists elsewhere, but I have put together the following to shed some light on how the background check, which is one of the main causes of Administrative Process delays, works. It is heavily plagiarised and is not country specific. The Office of the Secretary of State...

You know, I, in common with most sane people, don't watch Fox News, so I hadn't seen this when I went to work next day, and people were asking me how does my mum cope living in London with the religion police stopping her if she doesn't conform to Islamic dress!, and I had NOOO idea where that...

Well, I wouldn't g that far :D but speaking of American Psyche, as a red blooded Brit, I'm still fuming about this little gem People in the office were actually asking me if it was actually true!!!!. Can you Actually imagine actually religion police actually beating up people in central London...

As I said, this isn't my area of expertise, just repeating what I heard in various conferences that I have to go to. This one point was raised by a "security expert" who was an ex FBI officer and his job now was as "expert witness" and "advisor" to legal firms, particularly those who had clients...

Sorry Laleh, I didn't mean for you to lose hope!. I keep my fingers crossed for you. Unfortunately FBI doesn't know, what the reason for clearance request is, or that this case has a time limit and that one doesn't, so they process everything according to a routine, and certain factors will...

Well, I know of two cases. First one was absence of 3 years due to a medical condition. The lady in question had a medical certificate which showed she could not travel. The second one I know of personally, was another lady who got her GC through marriage to a US citizen, then got divorced...

British ex-pat now living in Florida. Russian wife won the DV a few years ago

Don't despair. You still have a pretty good chance of keeping your GC. I have seen cases where people have been out of US for 3-4 years and still had no issues.Although I have heard of cases, where 5 months was causing questions. The sooner you return though, the better. The main criteria is if...

What Britsimon says is correct. Don't let what the failed applicant said put you off. Since you are travelling to another country for your interview, it is best to bring along as much information and documents as possible to avoid or at least reduce the chance of being put on AP. Since you...

From your avatar I assume you are from Iran. What you haven't said is, if your friend had a high school diploma, or relied on the job experience for his qualification. If the latter, then only certain jobs qualify and it is very difficult to get approval. Regardless of the job qualification, it...

Of course you have a chance, but since you are from Iran, you may get put on Administrative Process which can delay getting the visa, sometimes until the visas or time runs out. I would prepare myself for the possibility of getting the visa, but don't do anything rash like resigning you job, or...
