Hello friends! Here is an update of my situation (post #101 from May 27, I'm also in the spreadsheet):
After a couple of Infopass appointments and contacting my Congresswoman in Miami, finally I found the reason of my delay. I've been current since Oct 2013 and introduced the documents on Dec 2013.
According to the email received by the Congressional Aide:
"In response to your inquiry, the record shows that your constituents’ I-485 application is pending security background clearance, once the service receives this response your constituent will be issued a notice either to come in for an interview or a final decision on case. Unfortunately I cannot provide any additional information regarding this case at this time. The United States Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) is committed to adjudicating immigration benefits in a timely, efficient manner that ensures public safety and national security. "
Furthermore,
"We have checked into your constituent’s case and have been assured that the agency is aware of your inquiry, and is monitoring progress related to it. However, unresolved issues in your constituent’s case require thorough review before a decision can be rendered. Unfortunately, we cannot speculate as to when this review process will be completed."
Summarizing, it seems that the delay is due to the background check itself. According to the last paragraph I believe they understood that I am under a serious deadline (Sept 2014).
The team from Congressional Aide told me to wait until mid August to contact them again so they can write one more time to USCIS.
It is worth noting that the officers during the Infopass were kind, but never gave me the exact reason of the problem. They just promised to call me back and never did so far. It was only through my Congresswoman's team that I could find out the reason.
Does anyone else has got a similar problem? How could I expedite the background check process?
Kind regards!
