If an immigrant from Northern Ireland gets caught in a security clearance or a namecheck, why is there always the assumption (especially from the English) that there must be some connection to the Troubles?

We are a bad lot you know... :rofl:

PSNI falls under ACPO same as any other police service does in England/Wales/NI. ACPOS covers Scotland. ACRO, set up by ACPO is a co-ordinating unit that works UK wide, so includes Scotland.

I think every country has a right and a duty to screen immigrants for every possible risk, and as you say, when I do eventually get there it'll be in the knowledge that I have passed all the checks there are, in order that I, along with my husband, family and friends, live in the safest possible society. I would be disappointed if that were NOT the case.

I just wish that it were a little quicker :)

Ditto. :)

It's been a long time since I've worked on security clearance information. But there are several specific clearances that are run during AP(four I believe) and some of these are run on a person based upon their occupation.

Persons who travel frequently, and those who have visited certain countries, are also subjected to scrutiny.

Occupation shouldn't be a problem. I worked for a large US insurance company with offices in Belfast. Frequesnt travel... I guess that all depends on the definition of frequent. I answered that question on the form with the dates (which included 7 trips to the US, 1 to Hungary for the F1 GP and multiple trips to 'The South').

If it's a simple name hit - it can be cleared up in a matter of weeks. If there is further review required - then it may take longer. Try not to stress about it, although that can be a difficult task. My best suggestion would be to follow up weekly (ie: once a week) just to keep tabs - but try not to obsess over something that is out of your hands and probably just a few weeks delay. Good luck!

I'm not stressing, although it is a little hard to accept that someone who genuinely has no 'issues' that could really merit AP is put into it. But i guess 'Que sera sera'.

...and to TreeHugger - No offence taken. Life to too short to take offence or hold grudges. ;)

This thread is really feeding my worries :( My fiance is finishing a phd in chemistry. I hope that doesn't put him on some type of 'sketchy persons' list. They asked him some sort of question about having training with chemicals, explosives, radiation. etc on the application (in packet 3?) and he had to answer yes, because of the nature of his studies. Of course it's all legit and through a well known university, but I have a fear of immigration officers going back to when I was an immigrant in the UK :unsure:

11/10/09 - K1 NOA1 date
4/22/10 - NOA2 mailed
7/21/10 - interview
8/27/10 - arrival in US
9/4/10 - wedding
10/2/10 - sent off AoS pack
12/27/10 - GC interview (approved)
10/09/12 - mailed application I-751
10/11/12 - NOA for I-175

4/23/13 - I-175 approved
