Been in initial review for a year

[Gazza7332 0]

I have been waiting a year on initial review. I have been told that my case is on hold until the security checks come back. Could it take a year to check someone. I have my senator on them and now the ombudsman to look into case as it does not seem right.

Has anyone waited for so long or is it just us.

I hope and pray that you receive NOA2 soon so that you can be with your loved one asap. Also, it's a good thing that you contacted your senator. Let us know how it goes.

A year is pretty darn long for security checks... good thing you contacted your Senator and the Ombudsman!! The longest I've heard is like 11 months, and even that seems to be rare as most people it seems to be resolved within 1-2 months (based on my observation and having been stuck in security check for 1 month myself).
