cases approves with peding RFEs on I485s
guys,
I know at least two folks who had their I485s approved, even when they had a pending RFE... The USCIS folks in their mad fit to approve applications and exhaust the visas approved 485s with pending REFs, not to mention that they approved them with pending FBI name checks..

My undersdanding is that the law doesn't specifically mandate USCIS to do FBI NC on every applicant, and the scope of background checks is defined by an internal DHS policy, which can be changed without an act of congress. In fact, the USCIS Ombudsman recommended to discontinue NCs in his last report. Maybe USCIS decided to act upon his recommendation right now (I hope so). I am tracking a few folks with similar timelines also stuck in NC on trackitt.com, and I haven't seen any approvals or even LUDs, so abandonment of NCs can be just a rumor.
