Chicago wait times
I was at the BCIS office on Jackson and saw a sign there which said that it is taking 22 months for I485 cases. I imagine that the time is from the filing date at NSC. It also said that only those whose cases have taken longer than 22 months can inquire about the status.
I know that for some of you it has been longer than that already. Good luck to you all.

Secondary Security Check
Hi Guys,
Yesterday I received a letter from the Senator's office alongwith the letter from INS addressed to Senator. The letter says my case is pending as a response from FBI regarding Secondary Security Check is awaited. Does anybody know what is this Secendory Security Check and how long it takes for FBI to conduct this exercise? Incidentally I am not subject to Special Registration.
I had my Interview in the beginning of January 2003 at BCIS Chicago and still awaiting the outcome.
Receipt Date: June 2001

after you read my post on this web, I will sure you guys will feel lucky about yourself.
our cases( my wifes' and mine)
my wife:
PD: 01/98.
her Labor certificate was screwed up by labor department after waiting two years.
then I applied as a primary applicant, and she was a co-applicant with me.
PD 10/99
I485 ND 03/01
INS made mistake, intensionally denial our case on 12/01. My lawyer filed motion to re-open on 04/02.
Transfer to INS chicago on 07/02 because of fingerprint problem, waited for interview letter for 6 month and ssked help from senator office. In 01/03 I was told by senator office our cases have been transferred back to NSC without any reason, (nobody knew why transferred back till now).
03/03 was told to assign to an officer, no result for three month, 06/03 was told again to re-assigned to an officer.
Now, I don't know where are my case and my wife's. My lawyer said it could be transferred back to Chicago again and wait for interview.
I was so disappointed about this mess. I don't know how long I will have to wait. my online message never changes.

Our Congressman has been very helpful in getting the details about our case from their congressional liason but
i think thats as far as they can go, coz even after their continous followups, Chicago Local Office hasn't sent any Notices yet...

I am new to this site. Can somebody explain how does a case get transferred to local office and how do we know that the case has been transferred? Is there any difference in processing time when a case gets transferred to local office rather than being processed at Nebraska INS
office itself?
office itself?

Have not heard anything regarding redoing medicals from the attorney. I will get a chance to discuss this issue with the attorney cometime in the weeks prior to the interview. Will let you what the attorney says.

My case was approved in 09/02, got the card in 05/03.
Spouse RD 02/02, TD to Chicago 09/02 - NO 2nd FP yet, when can we expect the approval?

Re: Re: Re: Re: Secondary Security Check
Finally Got the Finger Printing done on 08/01/03 for spouse also, but
surprisingly we received Notice at the older address, for me we received the Notice at our current address.
It really amazes me, how these people want to make it Mandatory for the Alien to mention about his/her Address Change and in turn not mandatory for their officers to Update their System

I talked to the attorney today and he did not think that we would have to redo our medicals.
