Banagalbabu,
My case was current before the retrogression hit. SO I had my lawyer call USCIS to find out the status. I got a letter from uscis that mine got stuck with security clearance ( NC). BTW time I had contacted congressman to pursue, it was too late and the retrogression already hit. So the congressman's office when contacted USCIS they got the std reply that wait till visa numbers are available.
my congressman would not even try to contact FBI to find out
if my security clearance cleared or not. I told them several \
times that they needed to contact FBI not USCIS. I can push
the envolope to the limit though. The senators I have contacted
one took the case, other senator's office would always put me to
dumb answering machine.
I wish what Sara says is true and FBI cleaned up the house. But
I doubt, Because I called the FBI and the person who took the call
talked for a while mentioned that still lots of backlog pending.
May be she has a standard answer too. NO.. FBI does not provide any
updates.
Whenever I call USCIS ( follow POJ trick), the rep says that my case is pendinging for
visa availability. When I ask them to find out if my security clearance
cleared, they would pause for a while ( probably checking further) then
tell that it is not yet cleared.
So it is utterly hopeless situation we are all in.
