Hi

My husband came here on k1 visa and we filed for AOS in October, 2014. We did biometrics and received a letter for interview wavier. Since then no updates on the case. I submitted a service request online in November 2015 and received no response. I call the customer service and filed the service request again with them and received a letter stating that due to security checks there is a delay and they can not provide a processing time for it. It is frustrating not to know what's going on and just be in a limbo. Husband is starting to get homesick and I don't want to risk him not re-entering since the letter that came with AP states that AP doesn't guarantee an entry back in to US.

Anyone out there with similar situation?

any help is appreciated.

Given the country being Pakistan and he is in security checks he needs to stay put and not travel back because he just may be refused entry.

I believe traveling back to Pakistan will even prolong the whole thing for you.

Time to tough it out and be patient.
