Hey Everyone, I happened to check my informed delivery today and noticed I have a package coming from USCIS In Kentucky. Needless to say I just checked the mail and my 10 yr green card was in it.

Man Im starting to think the reason this process is taking so long because people are demoralizing officers with 12lb, 500 pages of evidence, that just sounds ridiculous, can you imagine 1000s of peop

October 2016 filer. Finally got a respond from USCIS regarding my case and they are saying: 

 

We placed your case on a processing hold because the required security checks remain pending. Until we receive the results of these security checks, we cannot move forward on your case. We require the security checks before we make a decision on any pending case. 

 

 

Was anybody ever in this situation where the security check is pending? I was reading on this forum from another user that she had the same problem because she flew to japan so the case was set back. Sounds kinda weird but I actually flew since October 2016 probably 3-4 times to germany to see my family. 

 

Please if anybody has any advice on that I would really appreciate it. I also contacted my local senator a couple days ago before I got a respond from uscis.

Well that's what I don't understand neither. There are also 3 Security checks and I've heard that if someone leaves the country multiple times that the security checks falls behind?!? I am not sure. I will make an Infopass soon to find out.

Is everyone still waiting for the GC? I got the approval notice on April and I've been waiting for the GC.

Have you checked your case number on the case tracker app? If you make an account on https://egov.uscis.gov/casestatus/displayLogon.do and enter both WAC numbers you will see if your card was mailed and it will give you the tracking number.

The case tracker app has information related to WAC numbers. If you search with your WAC number that came with your notice of receipt (I-797) it should also tell you if the card was mailed. 

Good luck, I hope you get your card soon.

I already have an account but it still says they approved my case and will mail the approval letter to me. I also got the approval too and it says will send to me the GC around 60 days. I think I have to wait for 3 more weeks and then I will call them. Thank you for  your information.

My case was transferred to the NBC on May 1st. Originally filed to CSC somewhere October 24 2016 as I recall.

What does it say when you check online with your case number? Does it say Case was transferred and another office has jurisdiction?
