Waiting for BG Check and EAD issue, Pls help
I have the similar situation. After 4 months of our interview and the immigration officer stated our case was approved on Sept 16, I am still waiting for the approval letter to come in the mail for my passport stamp. It seems that I have to wait again to obtain my conditional green card. The LA District Office is currently holding my file and waiting for my background check results. They sent me a letter about this and advise me to contact them if I don't hear anything from them in 6 months. Can somebody tell me if there's a solution to this, meaning to speed up the process? Would asking for attorney's assistance help in this case?
Also, my EAD issued on Aug 15 2005 is going to reach the 6-month mark, when should I start applying for its extension if my case is still pending by then.
Thanks a lot for reading...Jimmy
