GC Approval, FBI Pending
I just had my Initial Interview yesterday and it was approved. YAY! However, my FBI background check had not finished yet so they could not issue the green card.
What is the minimum/maximum time for the background check to be completed?
Thanks,

I am in the same vote.....ND november 20, 2006 for the I-485, and have had no lud or interview letter....
It feels 1% better that i am not the only one, i guess
Well, this makes the two of us - I must admit that I am already worried since some luckier folks who filed in December and even January are already receiving their interview notices...
Yea I am a little worried also, i am assuming we have some criteria that is making our process take longer, but i have no idea what that would be..
rambela,
when did you file your I-130? As for me i have an approved I-130 since Aug 2005. I upgraded my I-130 after i became a citizen. Am just a little worried that maybe 'cos of this upgrade(I-130 has to be sent from NVC to USCIS) might cause a delay in processing I-485. I know some people that filed late december-early january 07 already have an interview date with the same D.O NYC like mine. What do you think or anybody out there.

Looks like we are getting onto something as my I-130 was approved in September 2005; very similar situation - my wife filed for me as an LPR and once she became a USC, she upgraded the petition.

I-130 upgrade delay
rambela,
I was hoping i was wrong. I guess we are up for a big delay. I filed for my spouse as an LPR and upgraded the case when i became a US citizen. I read somewhere that having an approved I-130 slows down the case. They would have to request the I-130 from NVC and hopefully NVC answers them early enough. I should have filed a new I-130 with I-485/I-765. Hope we don't have to wait too long.
Lets keep our fingers crossed.

Day 150 - no progress to report at all: no LUD changes for I-485 since late November 2006, no RFE, no interview letter, the case is still at NBC.
In about a month, my DO (Phila) will start processing forms I-485 that were filed in November - question is: do I sit tight for another month or do something (what)?
And, yes, I checked with the DHS - they have a record of my I-130 being approved back in 2001....

Thats messed up! My brother has the same DO as you and his NOA was Nov. 28 2006. He went for his interview this past Friday and was approved, so I'm pretty sure they have already started processing I-485 from November. He received his interview letter about a month before the interview, so I'd say there is definitely something wrong with your case.
I'd consider hounding the hell out of USCIS until you get some answers.
Giovanni, grazie - now that I have this input from you, I'll probably do something in the next couple of days...
Except for I do not know exactly what do - call DHS? Set up InfoPASS appointment? Sue them? Bother my congressman?
"I am very disappointed" as they said in 5th Element the movie ;-)

rambela -
you and I have almost identical timelines and the same delay. You mentioned you started your process as an lpr correct? I did also. I also have no idea what to do, but according to my lawyer we have to wait 6 months, until we can inquire something about it.

Yes, this is correct - an upgraded LPR petition...
I consulted a couple of knowledgeable friends (cannot afford a lawyer) and decided to call the USCIS misinformation hotline in the next few days - will keep you posted via this board. However, I do not pin a lot of hopes on this call - next step will be an InfoPASS appointment that I am going to set up around day 180 - i.e. in a month from today.
Please let me know if/when your case moves - post any and all updates in this very thread, OK?
Good luck to us all - looks like we'll need it... lots of it, actually...
