Stuck in FBI background check for over 9 months (just got to know from an Infopass appointment). Raised a service request and also have a Congressman's office checking with USCIS. Anything else I can do? My naturalization case is complicated -- travel history of ~6 months a couple of times +...

485 to F-1 to... Hi Rajiv -- I was on an H-1B and had also filed (the employment-based) 485. In 2009, I was admitted to a full-time grad program and given the uncertainty around the timing of my PD becoming current, I switched to an F-1 -- you'd given me excellent advice to go to the...
