It's been a long time

Well thank God I did the K3 3 years ago otherwise my husband would still be in his country! My husband entered the USA in August, 2006 on the K3. His I130 went under investigation April, 2006. We had our AOS interview on September 5, 2007 and still no green card. 5 months after the interview, we finally got a letter stating they wanted a new medical. My husband did just that and it was sent to the officer at the Chicago location. Then we didn't hear anything for quite some time and i notified the Senators office and also USCIS. We got a letter that the investigation has been delayed and will continue and if we don't hear anything from them in 6 months, contact them again. Ok. I read on the USCIS site that they have gotten together with the FBI to aid in releasing names they've held up for quite sometime. I guess we might be July since that would be names held for 2 or more years. But then I thought I read somewhere, the FBI came up with another computer glitch and it might not be until November that they will move on releasing names again. I don't k now, aggravating. Anyone got any information on this FBI name check procedure?

Thanks ahead of time,

Andrea

I copied something I found here some time ago. It says if you have been in name check for longer than 6 months, they are REQUIRED to approve the application. See the following attachment.

Welcome back Andrea!!!!

Did your I130 ever get approved???that was the hold up for us, once we FINALLY got the approval of the I130, they scheduled the AOS interview shortly after. We had the first AOS interview in 2007 and couldnt proceed due to the "I130 pending" I was told that back in 07 the AOS pending review for namecheck but it NEVER was in a name check, i was just being told the generic answer just to blow me off. If in fact, your I130 is still pending, i would start following up on that.

Does this also mean that you won't have to remove conditions? Won't the green card be good for ten years? That could be a silver lining IF this all ever gets figured out!! Good luck.

Hey Maureen! Nope, the I130 is still not approved. It's not approved because it's still in investigating stages. Can you believe this? Horrible! Nothing we can do. We submitted the application for extension of stay since my husband does not want to do AP when he needs to travel.
