Dear Forum members,
My wife had called Texas Service Center to enquire the status of our case (with I-485 date of January 2003). The officer told that our case has been forwared to the supervisor, however, TSC did not send a request to FBI for name check. Until the name check is cleared, which may take 6 months to a year, the supervisor cannot do anything on our case. However, everything else is fine. My wife had called couple of time and they could'nt answer about the name check, but this officer was very apolegetic and said that he just requested a name check from FBI. This has become a nightmare and I suspected that somewhere some mistake had been made and thus our I-485 approval is taking so long. We already have done 2 finger printing.
My wife had applied in EB3 category.
I am now so frustrated, that I am thinking of applying Consular Processing with my existing approved I-140 (which was approved in the EB1 category in 2003). I did not apply myself in my EB1 category for I-485 because I had already applied with my wife earlier and did not want to confuse the INS. Now I am seeing they are confused with the simple of the case.
I need suggestions from some of you as what is required for the Consular Processing and how fast this can be done. Where can I get the application materials and whether my existing pending I-485 application will have any impact on Consular Processing.
Thanks to all you guys. Some of you should be working for the USCIS and the organization would be much efficient.
