My wife is from Russia. I am a US Citizen. We filed the I-485 on 09/22/04 and on 10/05/05 we were asked for additional evidence (income, yet I exceed 3 times the Poverty level?!) specific to the I-864...which we provided and USCIS apparently accepted. On 11/22/05 our case, which was transferred to California Service Center from Nebraska (to speed it up!...quite the contrary)... and our Notice of Action stated we would complete this with-in 60 days (Get the green card) which places it at Feb 2006. To date a year later No green card and my Congressman (actually 3) say that it is pending the FBI background check.
So...... as we had fingerprints taken AGAIN on August 19 2006....we have no idea why this is taking so long. Our I-765 expired and we didn't renew it thinking we would have our green card. And now, as we want to go to Russia this summer....we are outside the processing times to put in an I-131 and get it back in time.
I called the FBI Status number you have posted and TODAY an agent said they no longer give out that information!
Monday I have a call from the United States Senator of SC...Mr Lindsay Grahams Aide...that specifically deals with INS/Immigration.
Any suggestions on how I can get my wife her green card...now a year past when I was told we'd have it.....before summer approaches?
Thank you......
