HELP!!! I485 outside the processing time married to US citizen
Hi,
I married a US Citizen about three years ago and I had my AOS interview on March 2004. My finngerprint was taken on June 6,2004 and my case has been pending since. I have been going to the local office to enquire about my case and I keep getting the same answer, "background check still pending". When I check my case on line I get the following message:
On June, 2004, the results of your fingerprint review for your I485 Application to Register Permanent Residence or to Adjust Status were received, and processing has resumed on your case. We will mail you a notice if further action is needed, or when a decision is made.
When I check my case status over the phone, I get the same type of message but with an additional message indicating my case is at the Vermont Service Center.
I finally got sick of waiting ( mind you more than 2.5 years) and contacted my senator. He made an enquiry and told me that my case is not at Vermont but at the local (Kansas City office) at the USCIC Investigation unit. He said it has nothing to do with FBI name check or Finger Print Check. That was all he could get out of them.
I am very confused. What should I do? Is this normal? I am just worried that my file is sitting on some dusty shelf. Please help...
