This is correct. I wouldn't encourage someone with a LPR status to engage in voting EVEN if your local government allows it if you plan on applying for citizenship down the road. It's a decision that could come back and bite!

I didn't vote even in my own country so I will probably not vote here also :p I am not into politic at all.

What a relief man :)
BTW I also became green check my picture profile ;)
 
Mom said it! One of the few things that can revoke your GC and end y our dreams of citizenship is to vote as an LPR. Better stay away from it for another couple of years.

You are however entitled to contribute to political campaigns if you really badly want to support your favorite politician or cause.

You remain in acceptance status until one or two day after a successful interview, so do not panic. Bio letter is usually sent about a week after receiving the notification of acceptance letter and the bio appointment itself is scheduled for two weeks after. People have tried walk-in appointments even the day after receiving the bio letter and many have been successful. Hopefully everything works out for you before the end of the month.

First thing, book an infopass. Do that now if you don't already have one.

As Mammad mentioned, the status doesn't give much detail. However, the bio isn't normally a holdup. The things that are causing issues, are the background check, the FO requesting the file from KCC and getting the interview scheduled. Then we have some FOs that don't know how to complete the case after the interview.

As mentioned you cannot push the background check, but you can call and ask KCC whether your file was requested by the FO. The reason for the info pass is to make sure you get an interview as soon as possible. The FO may even let you do Bio while you are there for the info pass.

When did you submit your aos pack? Did you follow the instructions in the spreadsheet at the beginning of this thread?

Just to add to this, one thing you can do to push the background check is to do a walk-in Bio. The earlier you do the Bio the sooner your background check will start. That's the only reason for doing a Bio walk-in really. That and the pleasure of getting one more thing out of the way as soon as humanly possible :)
 
So I called the secretary in my congressman office and explained my situation and the ongoing background check problem that I have. She told that they can't force USCIS to place the expedite request but they can ask for the status of my case and covey my concerns. I don't think it will have any effect but had to do whatever I am able to! I am reporting all my efforts hoping that it might come useful to future DV applicants that might read this forum.

It is good that you called - as you say, do the best you can. We still have a few weeks left to run - so there is enough time for you!

They shouldn't be contacting USCIS. They should be talking to FBI. They are the ones running your background check.
