Hey all,
just wanted to let you know about the string of misfortune regarding my I485 case
My AD is Jan24,2007; RD Jan26,2007.
My I140 (against the processing times) was approved on 8/7/2007.
However, my I485 is stuck on the LUD of 4/10/2007, after the normal LUD on 3/17 and 3/18 (two days after FP).
I am not from a retrogressed country (ROW), category is EB2 and a bunch of people from my company who applied up to 5 months after myself got approved and GC's in their hands as early as September.
So, I was banging my head against the wall trying to figure out why my case was "delayed".
And, then it dawned on me...Unfortunately, I have a relative who is an employee in a "national agency". he needed my and my wife's info for a security clearance background docs, so I gave him my info.
I am 100% sure that we all got checked by an appropriate agency and that some kind of file (containing nothing, because we never did anything wrong) exists on us. So, what I believe is going on is that we got "red flagged" and will remain in that situation until someone manually picks up our case from the 1% that end up being on that misfortunate pile and sees that all is good.
On top of everything, an INS audit has also been triggered and it took me several months to prove that a small mistake in the documentation from few years back actually means a refund for me...
So, good luck to you all...I guess I am ending up in the "usual suspects" basket...
