So if her annual income around 70-80 thousand US dollars I should be fine ? I saw guidelines shows household number 8 - around $52k. Not sure if I understood it correctly
Thanks in advance

You have proven you have a tendency for reading things and interpreting them to fit into your mind set. I challenge you to bring out my post when I said “people from predominantly Muslim countries go into more background check than others”
I have posted about people from Iran being subjected to extensive background checks because of difficulties in obtaining verifiable information about them from Iran. I’ve also posted about people from countries under the EO ban being subjected to prolonged AP.

Take it easy mom and thank you for your help and time. We are one family in this forum and sometime disagreement happen and that’s normal.

Its Kansas City office. I did my interview on Sep 12.
This is from Britsimon blog.
Condor (certain nationalities e.g. Afghanistan, Algeria, Bahrain, Djibouti, Egypt, Eritrea, Indonesia, Iran, Iraq, Jordan, Kuwait, Lebanon, Libya, Malaysia, Morocco, Oman, Pakistan, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Somalia, Sudan, Syria, Tunisia, Turkey, the United Arab Emirates, Yemen.)
For example, Condor Checks, are required for specified individuals. The exact criteria for which applicants this Check applies to are confidential. However, anecdotal evidence indicates that any one of a number of factors may trigger the need for Condor Clearance:
Travel to predominantly Muslim countries
Prior foreign military service in certain countries
Prior employment in sensitive sectors
Specialised training that may have military, intelligence or security implications
Birth or residency in certain countries, not limited to Afghanistan, Algeria, Bahrain, Djibouti, Egypt, Eritrea, Indonesia, Jordan, Kuwait, Lebanon, Malaysia, Morocco, Oman, Pakistan, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Somalia, Tunisia, Turkey, the United Arab Emirates, Yemen., Cuba, Iran, Iraq, Libya, North Korea, Sudan, Syria.

Thanks Susie.
I just contacted both of my friends if they finished the I-134. Both of them finished. However, the one girl who got her citizenship she said “she drank beer because she was celebrating something and got pulled over and they gave her misdemeanor charge and then they changed it to Traffic Imprachment or impracment something like that. She said she is doing courses now due to court order and will be appearing to court later. She was kind to notify me of that issue before sending her support I-134
On the other hand my other friend whose background is clear makes around 70-80k per year and got his green card by lottery couple years ago and waiting for citizenship.
Which one of supports would you suggest suggest me to bring? Or should I bring both and ask officer which one it’s better to submit.
I don’t want to do bad move that is why trying to hear your opinion.
Thanks in advance

So - two things.
1. Based on the info above - is it safe to assume you have increased risk of name check? If so - why are you surprised?
2. Just to make a point. DV cases, like other case can request an expedited process for name check. Requests do not have to be honored - and frankly, as Mom correctly pointed out, I would be surprised if they were. If your background check needs more time - they will take the time needed.

Oh I see. Then I would have to use her since she got citizenship. Three questions really fast. Pls
1. Will their be only name check to see if that person exists and if she provided correct information?
2. Is it ok if they filled forms in pdf type through computer and put signatures as their names on computer
3. Should I bring both forms and ask officer which one he wants to use or would I have to choose myself and bring. Don’t want to make a mistake on the interview tomorrow.
Thank you very much for answering and supporting us.
Thank you boss. The problem is DV has limited time and that’s why some people get denial due to background check pass the septeamber 30th and those from countries you mentioned in your blog which is predominantly Muslim country. Thank you again to you and the mom. God bless u

Yosef. Do i have to ask at the interview if my Baground check is done yet or they won’t tell me right away? The reason I’m asking is maybe I would have time to take actions.
Thanks
You can ask that’s fine. For me the officer told me clearly my name check is not clear and on the day of the interview told me I will request expedite. Later officer change mind and I don’t know why.

You need to be accurate in your responses. You said mom posted stuff about Muslim backgrounds taking longer. When she asked you to show her, you then posted something from another website by another person!! Come on...
I am sorry I think I mixed up between mom and Britsimon. Apologize.

I’m not sure you’ve read the instructions for the I134? There is stuff they have to put with it like tax return data re question 1, for example. See page 3: https://www.uscis.gov/sites/default/files/files/form/i-134instr.pdf
What surprising me is that, selectees who did consular process not went through this hard background checks and probably their first time to come to US, while selectees living in US for a while who did AOS almost documented and have some records got those hardship.

Oh question 1 meant, besides the background check. Like she has a court soon and Simon said they don’t do background checks so that is why I was kinda surprise.
And asked if they don’t do the baground check then what they do? Probably check name last name and all information regarding that person who filed 134 But don’t check background and would neve know if she has a court or no.

Yosef,
I can understand your frustration because I'm in the same situation as yours. However, your post is not offering any help to any one. It will just increase our frustration and depression. Believe me, I can't even sleep at night because of this longed background check. I have a wife and 4 kids, and all of there dreams are in this case, which just makes it harder for me. However, there is nothing that we can do but to wait and keep going to the infopass appointment. Hope the best for you and for everybody.

That’s not true at all, I’m active on another forum, some DV selectees from places like Morocco were in AP for months - I think one was over 6 months, long enough that he had to redo his medical for visa issuance. There was also a selectee from South Korea who had to submit DS5535, so it’s not just Muslim countries. She was also on AP for months, recently approved. Plenty more stories like that.
