Hello, folks!

I'm very upset... I know a lot of people wait for more than one year on Security Checks, but... Does anybody knows why that happens?

I was married once and my name used to be very long in my previous marriage... Do you guys think that could be a reason?

I would like to apply for a kind of scholarship but I'm not able to do it without a Green Card... And I also would like to put my Green Card name in a letter I'm planning to write to my mom to try to get a tourist visa to visit me...

Arrrgh! This situation is horrible and it seems that there's nothing I can do... :(

Well... Thanks for any replies! (F)

You were approved at the interview, yes? If that's the case and you were approved pending name check, you won't get your green card until the name check is complete. Rebecca Jo and her husband were approved at their interview but didn't get his green card until his name check was finished, all total of about 15 months of waiting.

No real advice beyond what KarenCee told you. All you can really do is wait, although I imagine at the 90 day after interview point you could get an infopass appointment and confirm the name check is what is holding you up.

I am sorry though, this is a huge waiting game, and patience can be tough to come by. Good luck!

In our case, our interviewer didn't even say that we were approved after the interview... She looked pissed because she wanted us to show more proof of evidence and she only told us that they would send me a letter if they needed anything from us and that the case was in Security Checks...

So, that sounded that she was not really sure if the name check was the only thing holding my Green Card...

That interview was an actual harassment... I think I'll really schedule an Infopass...

Thanks, everyone!
