I had my interview in Boston FO in July. Unfortunately, they have had reviewed mine for than 2 months after interview. Maybe I am too beautiful to get the easy pass. I just used some website to check my background checks and it showed 50 similar names! !@$(*%...... :confused:

I should thank my parents for giving me a unique name. There is not a single person in the world who share my full name so never had the name collision issue.
 
I found a better way to expedite the pending case than infopass and congressman.
For those of you still pending including myself should give it a shot!
They actually emailed and called me recently. It seems that they can get something going. I hope it will work.

Dear Simon , Mom, and forum participants,
I had my interview about 2 hours ago and it went quite well. I went there too early at 11 am when my interview was at 1pm. Waited until 1:30 to see the IO. I went to the interview suffering from a severe cold and started coughing while he was entering the info. I asked him if I could go drink some water since I was almost suffocating he said yes. He asked me the usual questions then took my I-94 and work permits and told me you got approved. I asked him if he pulled my visa from IVAMSWEB and he replied of course. 10 minutes later I received a text saying your status has changed.

Thank you Simon from your brotherly advices and precious insight. Thank you Mom for being always there for us and serving as our second Mom here in the US. Both of you are truly irreplaceable.
I also would like to thank CWH, lookmanohands, Matteos, and Vladdy, for their advices and wishes.

I wish the rest of us who are still awaiting there green card the best of luck.

A note of caution for people considering using the ombudsman's office to expedite their case - it is not a quick fix option. As a matter of fact, it's supposed to be used after all other available avenues such as calling USCIS, infopass and using the congressperson have been exhausted. It is not the first step option for getting an answer from USCIS.

Fortunately I have a unique name so I guess my background check was fast..

I don't see it on the spreadsheet. Cell 14E under the "AOS Process" page is supposed to have this maybe?

Check step 10, Cell A11 under the AOS Process tab where it says "Use Receipt Number on the NOA to register online for status updates". One of the cells in front of it even has a link, although I admit the link needs to be updated to the one I provided above. The current link doesn't take you directly to the registration page - it did when the spreadsheet was originally put together but the website has since been updated.

Yeah, that's the same row I was talking about. I clicked the link back in the days, the main USCIS page came up so I thought that the link was for status check page.

I could have googled the correct link to find out where to register, but I didn't pursue, just assumed it meant the status check page and moved on.

I bet they changed the link since the document has written so I'm not blaming anyone. Not a big deal for me either. I was just curious why I wasn't getting the updates and now I know why :)
