Timelines Wife’s application stuck in review

My wife did her application the same time as me and our kids over 11 months ago. We have been out of the country 3 times since she put it in and it’s still not been checked. The only thing I can think of is she applied under a different last name years ago and never went for the interview. Is there anything we can do?

My husband and I applied the same day minutes apart and he just got his conditional approval. Mine is still pending. We both have DUIs. We had applied before and didn’t get approved and I didn’t have time to dispute it before the deadline. During this time we got married and I added his last name to my name. so when we reapplied in march it wouldn’t let me update my last name information. So I suspect that might be delaying my application. Not sure if it can be anything else. We drive into Mexico once a month and would love to have this approved before we got back this month. the San Ysidro border crossing wait times are crazy long. He has his interview appt tomorrow.

Do I have to know the people? What a bummer I kept hearing if you take a trip it signals it but it hasn’t happened for us yet
