Does anyone know how long security checks last at uscis? i am currently waiting for the noa2 of our k1 visa, and i was told by my congressman that our petition is pending d/t security checks.

youre a march filer? how come its taking a long time for the NOA2?

normally it takes 3-4 months unless an RFE comes up.

were april filers but we were dreadfully delayed. they said we had an RFE coming but we never got it.

and whenever my fiance called he would get the same answer - we already mailed it.

so after 30 days of waiting, he asked for them to check the database. he was told that our file was put on the "abandoned case" folder.

the reason? cos we never followed up on our case which was total ####### cos he called every week.

so he requested for the RFE to be sent again. we got it a month later... so thats 2 months delay.

and every time he'd call he would tell the operator/agent or whatever you call it to please mark it on our case that we called for follow up.

and we got everything right as expected - but after 2 months of nothing.

call USCIS. make sure you talk to someone and dont hang up till you get answers. your congressman will only give you the exact answer they give you on the website, or on the phone. but if you ask a lot of questions they will note that out on your file with them. and keep calling. everyday if it means that much - im sure it does.

oh and write down the name of whoever you spoke on the phone. so on your next call you can say ... i spoke to blah blah blah and she said they mailed my NOA2 but its been 2 months and i dont have it. can you send me another one?

or something like that.

dont take "wait for the mail" as an answer. its been a while. ask for action.

we got approved 7 months after our NOA2. well... at least we got approved nevertheless.

lots of luck!!!

From what I understand it can take anywhere form 3 months to a pretty long time. I'm going through this right now. It's been almost 2 months for me.

The good news is that FBI and USCIS are working hard to clear up the backlog that they have so hopefully it won;t be longer than 3 months that they have promised us.

good luck
