ar/security check

His paperwork reached the embassy in Ankara in February, his interview was April 25, he was told he was approved pending his security check.

I emailed the embassy and recieved a response today as follows:

Our records indicate that your security check has not been completed yet. According to the response we received from State Department your case is on hold status, which will require more time to process and cannot be predicted how long it would take. Please note that all pending clearances are checked on regular basis. Today we are sending another follow up to the State Department.

Anyone ever heard of this? What is a hold status? Does it mean he is still waiting in line for his check or maybe I am really engaged to a terrorist?

Plz let this be finished soon

actually this is fairly typical... even in a fairly nice country like Uzbekistan my girlfriend took like 4 months to get AP over with. And honestly, it's all about red tape and bureaucracy.

patience is the key.
