Hi,
My Labor PD is Sep 2001
140 Approved June 2004
I 485 RD date is May 19, 2004

Got my finger printing done in July 2004
My wife got a medical RFE in Oct, sent details back to them within 14 days.

Since then there was no change in out status. So when our priority dates became current, Our lawyer requested a status update and USCIS came back and said, awaiting security clearance/check, don’t contact for another 180 days.

I contacted USCIS on Mar 30/31 requesting update, they said the same and there was LUD change on Apr 1, but no change in the actual data behind it.

My wife called USCIS yesterday and this really nice person answered the call and she was surprised that no decision was made on our case. So she took our Alien #, WAC numbers and address said she is going to make an enquiry and we should get a written letter from USCIS within 30 days with a status update.

I don’t know if this good or bad, because when my lawyer made the enquiry USCIS clearly said don’t contact us for 180 days, but we did.

I just wanted to share my experience with you guys and any input you may have

Hi chaplin,

When the lawyers conduct inquiry, they do not call the 1-800 number but they talk to the CIS officer directly. But the 1-800 number line is a customer service line and they take your case details and send an enquiry to the CIS. It is the same thing and goes to the same person(s) finally !!!

I did the same thing too. I got a reply back from USCIS stating that the case is pending security checks. When my lawyer called up, she was told the same thing and more that my FBI name check is pending !!!

Thanks,

Chaplin,

I too experienced the same. When I called ( feb 12 2005 ) the customer service number , the csr expresses the surprise for the delay , collected the details and said that I would get a reply in 30 days. Indeed I got the reply through snail mail and it says pending for "additional security checks". Surprisingly , I got a call from uscis to my work number on april 1st week and after verifying my name , she told me that my case is pending due to name check. She responded with "dont know/no way" for the other questions I raised . Like 1. How long it takes to complete the name check? 2. Is there any way to expedite?

Since they told me that my name check is pending, I just faxed,mailed the letters to fbi as per the format posted in this forum.

Dont know how long to wait !!!
