Hi John,

Excellent question. However, Legal Language can only offer general information, not legal advice. For specifics, you should talk with an immigration attorney.

Thanks,

Hi Morgan,
Because every case differs, Legal Language cannot offer immigration advice online. Your best course of action would be to discuss this with an immigration attorney.

Good Luck!

Hello Frances,
Thanks for your question! Since every individual case differs, Legal Language cannot give advice online. The best thing to do in your situation would be to discuss this with someone who knows the specific details of your case, such as USCIS or an immigration attorney.

Good Luck!

My husband already had his interview for his visa (8 months ago) but he was told during his interview they had further questions and would contact him and me for further information. We’ve been waiting. Today I was told by my Senator’s secretary that my husband’s “petition is pending background checks”. Does this sound normal? Background checks after the interview? I feel like I’m getting the runaround.

Thanks so much
