Guys,
I would like to share something that I had to go thru in last few 2 months. I submitted my I485 on 12/17/2004. I kind of gave up that it would come when it is going to be due. But, in Nov 2006 I thought it is enough and I wrote a letter to First Lady. Within 2 weeks I received a reply from FBI that they received the forwarded letter from First Lady and they submitted the findings on 12/11/2006.
On 01/10/2007, I received my 2nd FP notice and I thought everything in going great. I had my 2nd FP on 01/17/2007 and I was expecting the magic email anyday.
But I didn't receive anything till today and I took an infopass appoitment and spoke to an immigration officer this morning. I could not believe when she said that my name check is pending. I told her that I have received this letter from FBI and it seems everything is done. But, as usual she said that's what it was and I could speak to someone at VSC.
I called VSC and they said that name check is cleared from FBI, but VSC does another check (which I never knew) and that is pending (They had 2 years and 1 month and they did not do). She mentioned that there is no timeline involved here. So keep on waiting..
I am not sure it is going to help anyone, but I do wish that no one should go thru such an ordeal..
