pending security clearance
Hello Vawa family. My vawa is pending for required security clearance. I don't have any criminal record. My biometrics is done dec,2020 which is almost 5 years ago. I believe biometric only valid for 15 months. Is it possible my security clearance is pending cause biometric is too old?

@summerlover 07 a lot of people get stuck at the same stage. You should get your decision soon

@Mrkvica M. do i need to request for new biometrics?
Mrkvica M.Jun 22, 2025
@summerlover 07 no, that has nothing to do with biometrics. It could be that your country of birth still didn't send USCIS clearance and USCIS is waiting for that

@fadwa bahhi it’s not approved yet they said “ The processing of your case has been delayed. A check of our records establishes that your case is not yet ready for a decision, as the required security checks remain pending.” I don’t know what that means …

@Kaya don we have a same situation, between me and you 6 months .
