After 17 months security check ombudsman helped us

[Jenilyn and Awal 22]

My spouses packet was returned August 2015 , NVC received it Jan 1, 2016, USCIS received it March1, 2016. This has been a nightmare . We waited 181 days called to ask what was going on with the case and was lead many different avenues, misinformation did not know what was going on, made infopass meetings called senator, congressmen2, more infopass called everyone wrote everyone and was told by tier two co stop calling because they get pissed of and you never get your case done! Well he was right, wonder if he tossed it under his desk at that point. Well I heard to try ombudsman and I did the simple form sent the evidence,  I had tried a bajillion other ways to solve this . The ombudsman contacted me right away said at 45 days they assign the case , day 46 I got a letter again from ombudsman saying they sent request that the case needed update and wanted know what's going on, next day 47, I got another letter stating USCIS was actively working on our case . So it is no longer under security check( amazing) and was being worked on . So my reason to write all this is to encourage you keep searching , use ombudsman . We are still a long way to go but it's moving now at least! Alhamdullah God is Good!

I also waited the required time and then contacted an ombudsman.  I also scheduled an info pass, and on the day of the scheduled info pass, my husband's case was reaffirmed.  Definitely try the ombudsman.  This link can get you started:

Did you have a reaffirm without any additional evidence or did uscis ask for more before the reaffirm?
