Case EB3 lab. sub PD-Sep 2000, I-485 RD March 2005

Got reply letter from USCIS on case status inquiry I did a months back -

Type of Service Request - Case Status - Outside Processing time.

Based on your request we researched the status of this case. We are actively processing this case. However, we have to perform additional review on this case and this has caused a longer processing time. If you do not receive a decision or other notice from us within 6 months of this letter, please call....

Now this is really frustrating - it seems like I would have to wait for another 6 months and then if nothing happens than only I can call them back so that they can ask me to wait for another 6 months - a endless cycle...is there any end to this..


BTW - about "additional review"...is it the same as name check/background check - if not what does it mean???? Why would they need to do additional review? - Has anyone else been in the same boat - if so what has been the end result??? Or does anyone knows how time here on am I looking at to get my case finally approved???


Thanks

Letter from VSC
Thursday, April 13, 2006
On 03/07/2006 you contacted us about your case.
" Based on your request we researched the status of this case. We are actively processing this case. However, we have to perform additional review on this case and this has caused a longer processing time.If you do not receive a decision or other notice of action from us within 6 months of this letter, please call costumer service."

Pretty standard... After this, I got LUDs on my approved EAD4, now in July. God knows all about it! My hope is to be approved in Oct with new fiscal year visa quote.
To have an idea, on last september I went to Boston Office with infopass and a counter girl said that my case was in EXTENDED review in another Dpto. In 05DEC05 my case got transferred to VSC with anothers 20K+ GC cases including NYC and WAS. Now, my friend, I don`t know if they`re really actively reviewing our cases or it`s waiting for some results from another Governament Organ. :cool:

Thanks jhawilla,

So you also got the same response - but have you been able to figure out what this "additional/extended review" is all about???

No clue. If you have any evidence, let me know.
