Security checks

[Trompe le Monde 1,107]

AS I've written here before my husband and I had our interview last week which seemed to go well, the officer said he would "mail a decision" followed by "congratulations." We took this to mean an approval.

We then receive a letter stating that our AOS is pending because "an additional review of your case is required before a determination of your eligibility" I don't know what this means -- they have not requested any additional information nor have they mentioned waiting FBI checks (the letter had a box to check for delays caused by FBI).

The thing is -- there is a connection to ME (a joint UKC/USC) of a certain family member (who is now 85, and who was misguided and foolish but not dangerous) who was once affiliated with a certain terror organization in the late 50s/early 60s. My cousin, who is in the US Marines, once had problems getting a high-level security clearance (but I believe it was resolved) because of this.

I have consulted with a lawyer and he said it was most likely "security checks" and that if there was a problem, it wouldn't be because of me. Any thoughts?

I have scheduled an Infopass appointment for Monday, but I'm sure it's a waste of time and money.
