Called USCIS yesterday to inquire about my 485 background check status, and they wouldn't even tell me if the name check had been initiated. Wanted me to call back after 6 months, said they are working on the application.

Anyone else getting the runaround from USCIS?

Called the USCIS TSC this morning and talked to an Immigration Officer (IO). She was really nice. She said that my Name Check is still pending. Last week another IO told me that the Name Check was initiated on June 14th.

The key is to be able to talk to an IO instead of a Customer Service Rep.
 
Got Similar responce- deffered by 6 months

Hi ,
I am in the same boat. I have my priority date as sept 2001. i-485 filed in sept-2002. I have been stuck in background/ security check since last 3 years. when my lawyer enquired last month I have got a letter from USCIS saying -- need additional review. contact after 6 months.

Anybody having any ideas how to expediate things . nothing seems to help. I tried calling senator, 1- 800 number, Enquiry through lawyer. allin vein.

If any body has some way out please post your reply.

How do you contact TSC??

Could you please explain the modus-operandi to get to an IO at TSC without getting stuck with some obnoxious CSRs?

I sure would appreciate the phone number and the options that help me to be able to talk to an IO at TSC.

Thanks - IE

Try this in the morning on a working day.
Call 1-800-375-5283
Press 1
Press 2
Press 2
Press 6
Press 1
Now enter your receipt number
press 1
press 1 (now listen to the case update info)
press 3
press 4
(now if you hear a male voice prompting you to hold the call that means the call is going to IOs desk, if it says no IO is available, it will redirect it to NSC-CSR, you can hang up and call again later or the next day)

Good luck.
 
Thanks a Bunch!!

Thank you very much. I tried the options this morning a couple of times but with no luck so far.

But the good thing is, my thumb (right) has got used to the numbers including the receipt number and now I can try this a few times every morning of a business day till I get my I-485 approved or till I get an RFE or an infopass.

Sincerely - IE

IO response!!

Guys

I called USCIS yesterday and talked to customer service and she transfered me to an officer I told the IO that I have been waiting exactly 3 years for this name check she said: " What do yo want me to do?" I said as a customer who pays all these fees I need answers she said : " I suggest you wait longer SIR!!!!"
I will wait till Oct-01 and then move on with my WOM that is it!!!
I just paid almost $700 for my 4th EAD and AP renewal!
last year I was out of my job for 2 weeks because of delay on EAD renewal, I have had it!!!!
