Update: On April 26, 2017, your inquiry about why your case is taking longer than our processing time, referral number ************, was completed.

 

Updated under my USCIS account but nothing received as of today. I will call this afternoon to see if they can tell me what is the result. Congrats to all those who have received notifications and sending good vibes to all those waiting with us too! 

Hi there, what happened when you called? We are in the same situation. PD August 18. When I called they said the result of the inquiry is that application is in background check/further processing. Thanks

Hello, 

 

Did you mail in your documents into the NVC and have a scan date in April? If so, please join us.  We all submitted documents via mail and have scan dates in April 2017.

I wasn't given any information and was told not to call back for 30 days. Did a tier 2 give you that information? If anyone else has had success with a  service request please let me know! Thank you

Thanks. Nope it was just the first agent that picked up. They said we should have received an email (and I checked spam) but received nothing. On other threads people have received paper mail responses regarding their service requests months after it was marked completed. Also this "background check/further processing" response to requests seems common.

I spoke with a tier 2 who gave me the same information that it should have been received by email but nothing received. They were able to read me the response which stated that our application is "still pending, they are performing an additional background check which is resulting in delay. No estimated time of completion. Please keep waiting"

 

Anyone know if additional background check has any meaning?

Just curious, how long does it take Nebraska SC to send the approved case to NVC? Our case was approved on May 1st and it still says: case was approved on the USCIS app

 

we also haven't received anything in mail yet, do you think it could be late since we change our address a couple of weeks ago?

Case approved May 9th! PD August 18 2016. Good luck to everyone still waiting.

Anyone with an acceptance of April end still waiting for their case to be sent to NVC?

 

Ours was approved on April 28 and it's going to be 2 weeks now but the case still hasn't been sent to Department of State.

I went in for an Infopass appointment today at my local USCIS office (40 miles away). The live USCIS officer told me that my background check was completed a couple of weeks ago and that I should wait for approval. Hopefully that means it will be coming soon! The officer had access to some sort of online resource which is more helpful then what can be learned over the phone from USCIS Tier 2 (they do not seem to be directly connected to USCIS in any way). The officer said one year is average for i-130 and that online "processing time" updates are inaccurate. He didn't seem concerned about so much delay so maybe it's normal for them? Praying for the approval letter to come soon!
