Security Checks

[tcovington 175]

So today we got an email from USCiS that states, "We have 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 results of security checks before we make a decision on any pending case."

 

has anyone seen this before? What does it mean?

Yes, there have been instances where cases have been placed under hold for security checks. It's assumed that it is because of a background check being done on the petitioner. I don't think anyone really knows how or why these cases are selected. 

 

Did you submit an inquiry online and receive that email in response? Usually people don't find out they are under security check hold unless they call and ask USCIS about their case.

We filed an expedite request on our I-129f and that was the response.

I submitted a request to expedite my 129 form back in March.  In June I received an email asking me to provide more evidence.  I know I will be denied because when I submitted my request I was told to wait 60 days for them to make a decision.  It took them over 90 days to ask me to send the evidence

Wth?! 90 days? They told us to wait no more than 5. What service center are you with? Waiting that long defeats the purpose.

As soon as I sent the request, I received an automated email.  The email basically says they are experiencing a heavy number of requests and will review my request in 60 days.  They emailed me asking for evidence over 90 days later.  Government entities usually run like that.  They are slow and lazy
