Hi folks,
My wife is a US Citizen, we got married in Jan 2005 and she applied for my GC in March. I had my AOS interview this week. The officer reviewed all our documents and at the end of the interview said that we were awaiting "security clearance".
I have a few questions and would really appreciate if anyone could help me:
1. Is the security clearance the same thing as FBI name check ?
2. How can I find out when was the request for the security clearance made and what is it stalling on ?
3. Is there anything I could do to get the results of the security clearance or help the security clearance process move faster ? Also, how long does it take for a security check to clear ?
4. After the security check clears, would there be another interview for AOS ?
Timeline:
Marchl 2005 - Applied for 130, 485
May 2005 - Fingerprint
Aug 2005 - AOS interview
