I'd requested a service request with a NCSC rep. on 12/13/07 inquiring why I'd not received my FP notice as yet. (I'd applied in June 2007 but missed out the FP fees which I 'd mailed in later). Today I got a response from VSC. It states that the processing of my case is delayed because of background investigation an I should wait 6 months before checking again. Doesn't this usually happen after the FP is done and after the interview? Here I've not even received my FP notice. Anyone else received such a letter from USCIS?
