I am a very old user who hasn't attended this website in over five years.
We filed for GC in 2002 and it took me around two years to obtain mine but my husband's got stuck in the FBI name check for over four years. The only reason his application was approved without a lawsuit was because there was a temporary memo in place in 2008-2009 allowing USCIS to adjudicate cases that have been pending for over 180 days and were otherwise approvable. Shortly after that memo he went to an interview and got approved.
We waited for five years after his GC was received (nine years after mine) and filed our N-400s a few weeks ago and received NOAs. What do you think is going to happen to his name check now? Is there anybody on this website whose GC was approved on that temporary waiver? Should we be doing this with a lawyer instead of on our own?
Here is the memo I am talking about from 2008.

Otherwise our cases are as clear as day - more than five years on GC, less than 50 days of travel, two US kids, still work for the same employer who sponsored my GC, no criminal activity of any kind etc....
