They do criminal record checks on the USC, and other checks with FBI, CIA, NSA databases. What nationality is you husband?

He is from Jamaica

[civilservant 42]

Does he have a relatively common name/surname? This can hold things up if they get a hit on the database from someone with the same name. I've seen people be put into Administrative Processing for 18 months after the interview simply because they had a common name.

His first name is common but I dont know how common the last name is....its not that common here in the states but it might be in jamaica...( its Peart...Pronounced Pear-T. have you ever heard that name before?

[civilservant 42]

Yes, it's a British surname so is far more common in the UK. The thing is, if checks are outstanding there's little you can do at this point

Oh well....He just did a police record in jamaica and its valid for one year maybe i should send that to Immigration it might help them figure out who he is and what to look for...i think any thing is better than doing nothing at this point....he has no criminal history there so i know thats not a problem.

I just found out that someone in the US has the exact same name as me and they are a sex offender. Great! You think this could cause problems or do you think that they are usually fairly quick at sorting out people with the same names?

They seem to be fairly notorious. I typed my name into google and criminal beside it and they came up all over the internet. Obviously it's a pic of someone else, but still.

Administrative Processing is generally for those that flag something in a terrorist database, or have (I hate to say this but its true) Muslim sounding names. Youll be fine.

I would think that the fact that a birth certificate with additional information concering ones birth would have made it easier to sort since place of birth and mother's maiden name ETC...is included on the certificate....

I thought the same thing. But as you noticed. Same waiting time. Same progress route. The only difference for me in the end, I get the permanent card. (Not the 2 year)

Ya, I noticed we were in the same boat. Crappy situation to be in a more frustrating than anyone else can understand. Good luck to you and I am thinking about you and your approval. Hopefully coming VERY soon.

[civilservant 42]
