ATTENTION JULY FILERS! (2)

[kunle 0]

This is from my Congressman on my background check:

The USCIS, California Service Center replied to our inquiry with basically the same information you received on your inquiry. Following this, I cut and pasted the entire e-mail except without the e-mail address of our Congressional liaison. , when a security/name/background check is involved, we cannot and do not have any influence over the process. The FBI is in control of the security checks. Not even the US CIS has control. It is not possible to estimate how long the check will take to complete, however, the US CIS and the FBI have publicly pledged to make this process as short as possible. I do know that the moment your security check clears, you will be contacted with that good news and you'll find your petition will immediately progress from there. Until then, we wait. It is our hope the wait will not be long.

As soon as you get word that your security has cleared, please let me know and we'll work to ensure the visa goes as quickly as possible.

If you need to forward this to your fiancée please do so.

Best Wishes,

Constituent Services Director

"Thank you for your inquiry.

The status is that the case has been delayed as the USCIS awaits the results of required security checks. The USCIS is committed to adjudicating immigration benefits in a timely manner while also ensuring public safety and national security. Though background checks for most applicants and petitioners are completed very quickly, a small percentage of cases have unresolved background check issues that temporarily delay adjudication of the application or petition. Although USCIS makes every effort to resolve such cases promptly, the agency cannot move forward until all outstanding issues have been resolved to our satisfaction. Unfortunately, this process can sometimes take years.

The background checks involve more than just the initial submission of biographical information or fingerprints and the initial response. If these checks and/or a review of the administrative record reveal an issue potentially impacting an applicant's eligibility for the requested immigration benefit, further inquiry is needed. The inquiry may include an additional interview and/or the need to contact another agency for updates or more comprehensive information. If it is determined that an outside agency possesses information relevant to the applicant's background, USCIS asks that agency to share any relevant information for consideration by USCIS in the adjudication. Upon gathering and assessing all available information, USCIS will adjudicate the application as expeditiously as possible.

We have checked into your constituent's case and have been assured that the agency is aware of your inquiry and is monitoring progress of the case. Background checks on this case are still pending. We cannot speculate about when the background checks will be completed. USCIS has determined that no documentation related to the case will be issued at this time.

USCIS realizes that your constituent may be frustrated by the progress of his or her case, but the agency must balance individual inconvenience against broader issues of public safety and national security. We hope that the recognition that your constituent's case has not been forgotten lessens any anxiety from the delay in the adjudication.

We hope the information provided is helpful. If we may be of further assistance in the future, please let us know."

I was going to quote everybody & congratulate separately, but wow it got long!! That's GOOD!!

I'm rooting for you, estadia, that your approval comes soon!!!

Kunle, your congressional inquiry response is slightly different than mine although it basically says the same thing. I should post mine in here so we can see the differences...one of these days maybe if i can remember! You're going to get an email from CRIS one of these days out of the blue. It'll sneak up on you one of these days like mine did. I ran around the house jumping for joy, crying, laughing etc... It was such an outburst of emotions that were pent up for so long. I can't wait till that happens for you. In fact, I found out that my approval was THE day after they wrote that email to my congressman about how long the review can take and about national security blah blah blah

[Jeraly 4]

Gratzies on the wedding!! Hopefully AOS will be much simpler!!
