I have been a constant reader of this forum. It's very helpful.
Today I went to an infopass appointment, confirmed that my 485 case is still pending on security check. I made them to give me an offical statement, saying it's pending on security check. Something interesting is that at the beginning of the statement, it says "Alien #/sec 245" ..... Does anybody have any idea about "sec 245" piece? Of course, my case is NOT based on 245(i).
Knowing so many people with their cases filed in June/July last year stuck in the NC, as with my case, I am wondering this emerging pattern is true or not.
I have a theory on what's behind this. The problem could come from the communication between USCIS and FBI. Let's say, the USCIS system got upgraded or whatever during that period. This caused in the USCIS system, the NC was shown to be initiated. But on the other side, FBI didn't actually received the tape or anything. So while the USCIS people just sit there and check the record in the system, waiting on FBI, the FBI would never know it been asked to do the NC. THERE SHOULD BE SOME STATUS QUERY FROM USCIS TO FBI ON THE NAME CHECK ON A PERIODICAL BASIS. Not sure if this is sure.
I got to know my NC was initiated on Sept 07, 2006. Is there anybody here having his NC initiated around about the same time and got cleared?
Thanks,
