extensive background check

[BestDaku 0]

Hello All,

i'm kind of new to this. I met my wife in 2009. in Aug 2009 we got engaged i applied for my fiance using the I-129. Petition was approved however, her visa was denied at the embasy. so i went back to india and we got married. i applied for her on Nov 22, 2010. i did not hear anything back from CSC. So i called the 800 number and asked for status update. Few days later i got an email from CSC saying that my case is in "extensive background check" and will take additional 6 months. i talked to a lawyer today he said he could not help and i should get in touch with my congressman. has anyone gone through this before? any and all comments are appreciated.

I got the same letter from USCIS that my case is in extensive background check. So I contacted our congressman's office since it is more than 5 months already. And today I received an email that my case was approved. See my timeline below.

I have sent them an email. still no reply. i'm thinking about giving them a call as well. my lawyer suggested that i go see him in person. that i should take the proof with me as well. it's just a really frustrating process i have already been waiting for 2 years.

Which embassy/consulate in India?

Why were you denied the first time?

Any red flags in your case, such as previous foreign spouse, are you related to your wife etc?
