Female applicants get IL faster than male?

[Fandalou]

Reading quite a lot of cases posted here, I found a interesting phenomenon that if a couple apply at the same time, the wife gets IL faster than the husband. Am I right?

My wife got her passport and I am still stuck at the name check.

that is because there are not many female names who are plotting against the US government or are into some problems with the law...

I agree, it's because females pass FBI checks faster

Not really. I think what you're seeing is more people posting here because they have problems of one sort or another. A great many cases are processed without any information ever being posted.

My own experience was that my N-400 paralleled my wife's N-400 step by step right through the interviews themselves. We were seen by different IO's within a couple of hours of each other, and our cases were both recommended for approval. My oath took place a few weeks later, but my wife had to wait an additional month or so for hers.

I had very similar experiences as boatbod described. My wife is waiting for her oath.

Generally true but not always. One of my friend (female) waited for almost 4 years to clear her name check at I-485 stage (since 2004).

While I doubt that the USCIS or FBI process the female applicants first,
I don't mind if the ladies are on top.

no i don't think FBI or USCIS gives females priority, but historically less females are criminals, so I assume FBI has a shorter list of female terrorists names or fingerprints to compare to. I'd also say younger people should be at advantage for same reason.

but it's all just a guess after all, USCIS does it's slow business without considering any guesses, predictions or laws of nature.
