Events that frequently cause challenges, delays and frustration during the immigration process can include:
You are divorced or separated from your spouse during the application process.
A child turns 21 before the application is accepted.
A criminal offense occurs during the immigration process.
It is discovered that you owe back taxes to the IRS.
Immigration officials have doubts about your moral character, whether valid or not.
You have illegally or improperly obtained government benefits.
