Abandoning US domicile while in administrative processing (post-interview)

[sean.law 2]

Hello!

I have my interview this week so decided to check into how long it takes for MTL to send out the passport. I found that for some it can take a very long time (months). Those people are often on administrative processing (AP). I also found out that having an advanced degree can be the cause of this.

I have a MSc in biology and am worried that this will require a more extensive background check. I was born in Canada however and have never lived anywhere else so this may help me.

Due to the prolonged waiting in AP, we may run into a situation where my wife (the USC) needs to leave the US and come back to Canada (famly issues).

Is maintaining US domicile required while pending AP?

It's possible that you may need to submit a resume (CV) and may get more background checks if you fall into certain categories within that biology degree.

Everything is required until the visa is granted.
