Reeceived a letter from USCIS today

[Lisamarie 79]

Thank you so much:) And you are right, I just need to look this as a minor setback....that's all.

I hope you get a speedy approval! Don't worry about it to much and remember it is not a denial. I wish you the

best on your visa journey.

[Lisamarie 79]

Thank you! You're always so supportive, I really appreciate that

I hope you get NOA2 soon inshallah

One way or another maybe of us still waiting. Hang in there. The flies quickly!

But it's not what I was hoping for.....it's a letter saying they are doing extensive background checks on us and we should have a decision within six months (it's already been almost 7 months)!!!

Can anyone explain this to me? Because the guy I spoke to couldn't, I asked him why the extensive background checks?....I see people getting approved everyday that filed after us and I don't understand why we are different. He couldn't answer that, also said they wouldn't be able to put another service request through until the six months is up. So basically all we can do is wait.............. :(

The fun part is when they do the "extensive checks" for another 6 months, then transfer you to another center and then tell your the 180 day time frame starts all over again, see my time line

[Lisamarie 79]

Thanks. It seemed like it was going by quickly for the first five months because we knew there was that amount of processing time, so we just waited and didn't worry about it. But since the 5-month mark passed, it seems like time is dragging and now this letter just puts everything back. I hope that the background checks were started months ago so that maybe they are almost through them.

Oh my gosh............are you serious? I am so sorry for you. I "hope" the same thing doesn't happen to me. It's so hard waiting and not knowing the outcome. My husband is such a good person. I wish they could meet the people in person before they decide to do the extensive background checks. Seeing them in front of you versus reading about them on paper would probably make a big difference in their decisions.

Why did they transfer your case to Vermont?

Oh my gosh my heart just sank to the floor reading that. Crossing my fingers and hoping for the best for all of us stuck in background checks.

[Lisamarie 79]

Yes I saw it. I don't really understand that part of the process though. I really hope that things will work out for you soon. Thank you.
