Reply to the inquiry on my dinosaur case

[beyond-the-sea]

Hi guys,
My wife and I had a very old case that's still pending:
WAC-02-041-5XXXX
PD 08/11/2000
I140 AD 08/20/2001
I485 RD 10/17/2001
1st FP 03/29/2002
RFE 11/??/2002
2nd FP 03/08/2005

After a long wait, we decide to take some actions (I know it's bit late). I called the USCIS national service center on 03/15/2006. And they said CSC should report my case status in writing within 30 days. Just this evening (04/17/2006), I got a letter from CSC saying that:
"Your case has been referred to the adjudicative division for review. However, if you do not receive a decision or other notice of action from us within 6 months of this letter, please call customer service at the number provided below."

(Well, the number is the same old 1-800 number.)

Can anybody here tell me what this means? I remember when I called CSC using that emergency number, the guy told me pretty much the same thing. A month has past, nothing seemed to have changed.

Can you tell me what other actions I can take to find out more about our "real" case status behind the cryptic statement? Shall I go ahead approaching my senator's office? Does it help to send another inquiry to the CSC-XII.485 email address?

Any suggestions/advices would be much appreciated.

Hi Beyond-the-sea, This is a good thing. It means they have moved your file for an adjudication and if all is well you will get an approval. If your Background check is not cleared than you will be waiting just as some of the other folks for that to happen before the you get the approval.
