Does Listing Your Spouse as Non-Accompanying Help Make Your Security Screening Shorter?
Many applicants experiencing long background or security checks ask whether listing a spouse as non-accompanying could make an application move faster.
The Question
If one spouse applies for permanent residence and lists the other spouse as non-accompanying, will that necessarily shorten security screening?
The Original Article’s Answer
The original article explains that family-member inadmissibility rules can still require consideration of a non-accompanying spouse and that separating the spouse from the application does not automatically remove security-related screening concerns.
Because security and inadmissibility rules are complex and fact-specific, this article should receive a current legal review before publication.
