Answer 2

Monique, please don't worry, this delay is probably not because of your husband's records but because of the increasing number of people who have to go through the same procedure. These days these organizations are in a very difficult situation due to the increase in the number of immigrants. I guess that is why it is taking so long. It is like this in every single area of immigration. Getting a green card used to take approx. a month, now it is around 2 months.  You should contact them over the phone just to let them know you've been waiting because they might have made a mistake (but the former option is much more likely than the latter). Good luck!

Answer 3

I know some one who went for the interview two years ago and they said the same thing to them and still they have not heard anything. When they call INS just tells them they are waiting on the background and name check,.
