Lao-Yi said:What is the next step when the online status says "The results of your fingerprint review ... were received"? Does it mean the security check has completed? So the next step is approval or RFE, am I right?

Are you trying to say that thousands of people on this forum have never seen this status after their FP1? Is not it standard? Most of the people go thru FP1 within a few months after filing (in my case 10 month), then why it takes another year+ after FP1 to approval?
Do you know any cases when I-485 was approved soon after a status like this? Can you share it with the community please?
Good luck.
Name checks can take any time from several weeks to a couple of years - this is what is causing the backlog. If the name checks (several, not just one) are not done within the FP validity (15 months) then USCIS waits for the results and issues a new FP notice. Issuing FP notice depends also on availability at gthe local office. If name check is over but the local office cannot schedule FP, then one waits longer. I do not think USCIS does anything at random or that your process depends on the Immigration officer's mood like some people in this forum constantly suggest. This is USA and employers (the State included) want their employees to get the job done, following the given procedure. Like everybody elese here I would prefer to have got GC YESTERDAY. But let us be realistic - there are nearly 2 million cases waiting only in our EB categories. For details on standard operating procedure of I-485 concurrent and non-concurrent see my attachment of this document (large file) http://www.immigrationportal.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=8712Lao-Yi said:Thank you all for replying to my question. From your posts, my understanding is that FBI has done their job, now it's upto CIS to go over security check and to make a decision whether to approve or issue a RFE.
Good luck to you all!
