We have placed your case on a processing hold

[dimbmw 1]

>30 days after the N-400 interview (decision can not be made in the N652), lost patience and sent them online request...

 

the reply feels to be a copy-paste of what they send to many others... i am wondering if this can be trusted or is it just a BS answer?

why in hell would they have invited someone to the interview if he hasn't passed the security checks yet?

 

here it is:

 

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.

We cannot predict when we will receive the results of these security checks. Please be assured that we will make every effort to make a decision in your case as soon as the security checks are complete.

We hope this information is helpful to you.

Security checks can sometimes happen after interviews too if the IO wanted to check up on statements you made during the interview, or confirm travel dates, etc.

 

Yes, that is the generic response sent when there is a processing delay.  Have you tried calling to speak to an IO about your case?  Not the normal customer service people---a L2 immigration officer who can give you specific details, I mean.

Yes, I tried , it was a wasted time, as the L2 person was only saying blah-blah without any _information_ - nothing definitive, other than they did NOT mail any request for information to me. And by the way he did not mention that any security checks are pending, too. 

 

As for the travel dates - the IO browsed through my passport and checked every entry stamp at the interview against my travel list (i had a lot of overseas travel). But checking the US entry stamps does not help with checking the departure dates, of course, and I am afraid that these are nearly impossible to verify without the data provided by airlines.

"[You] had a lot of overseas travel." 

I believe they really want to verify if you did meet the requirement of continuous residence and physical presence. They always have the way to check on you not really rely on the data provided by airlines I think ?

In my opinion, they were supposed to check my travel PRIOR to my interview. Also it shouldn't take much time anyways, as the I94 info is available online.
