AOS interview successful, but waiting for FBI name check

[rebeccajo 14]

Laura, this thread has gotten so big I don't think a lot of people pay attention to it. Most of the interest in this forum seems to be on CSC.

Maybe you should post this information in a new thread?

i suppose, however this has been THE spot for people in this situation since gag started the thread March 2006. Im thinking there are just very few who care.

Would still be interesting to get the opinion of others.....

well we got the dreaded letter yesterday...after my husband called to inquire about his case....background checks still pending so ur case is on hold. dont inqure again for 6 months.

today we got the reciet notice for the EAD renewal. another $180.00 they have stolen from our pockets.

It is difficult to add to this thread, because nothing is happening, just more waiting after 2 years. Working on third EAD, how depressing. Contacting senators office so they can inquire from the FBI, we have lost count how many times we have done this. I read somewhere some people were still waiting after five years, OMG I hope not!

Have all of you still waiting on the name check written the Ombudsman? Once you are past the processing time for your particular district you can write with your concern about your case. Don't know if it will help but I don't think it can hurt and it certainly helped Carina. Also, make sure you have checked to be sure your original biometrics has been received by the FBI; I still believe if they are missing then it can cause problems with the name check as well.

When You Should File a Case Problem with the CIS Ombudsman

If you have an ongoing or immediate issue with the USCIS, contact the CIS Ombudsman if:

You are facing, or are about to face, an immediate adverse action or impact, an emergency, or any other type of significant hardship, which is caused by an action/inaction/delay in processing by the USCIS, or a problem, which could not be resolved through the normal processes provided for by USCIS;

Your case experienced processing delays beyond anticipated processing times;

You will incur, or are about to incur, significant, and unusual costs (including fees for professional representation that are not normally incurred);

Have not received a response or resolution within the anticipated time frames as published by the USCIS;

Had to really dig to find this poor thread. Bumping it up.

603 days since our visajourney began.

429 days since AOS filed.

422 days since namecheck began.

317 days since AOS interview.

Still no greencard.

Rebecca did you at least get your husband's new EAD? I know you filed for that a while back.

I got a "touch" today, the first one ever on my case. I had one on my old approved EAD application back in October, but never on the actual I-485 application. No change in my status at all, and I wont get my hopes up but at least it is some action and not the total deafening silence.

Just thinking about how we will file taxes this year....my husband will most likely pay income tax but he cannot be a permanent resident....lovely.

At least it's Friday!

my husband got his biometrics appointment letter today for his second EAD renewal. he is scheduled to go 1/29. it said on the letter that if he cant make it that day he can come any wednesday after that up until 4/13. since when did they give u a make up time? always before they wanted u that day or else!!!

we are now 380 days past our AOS interview and still no greedcard for us either.

After my touch yesterday but no update I just checked my email a few minutes ago to see three emails from the USCIS. I was DREADING opening them for some reason, just in case it was bad or they were transferring my case or something. This is what it said....

Application Type: I485 , APPLICATION TO REGISTER PERMANENT RESIDENCE OR TO

ADJUST STATUS

Current Status: Notice mailed welcoming the new permanent resident.

On January 19, 2007, we mailed you a notice that we had registered this

customer's new permanent resident status. Please follow any instructions on the

notice. Your new permanent resident card should be mailed within 60 days

following this registration or after you complete any ADIT processing referred

to in the welcome notice, whichever is later. If you move before you get your

new card call customer service. You can also receive automatic e-mail updates as

we process your case. Just follow the link below to register.

If you have questions or concerns about your application or the case status

results listed above, or if you have not received a decision from USCIS within

the current processing time listed*, please contact USCIS Customer Service at

(800) 375-5283.

I think I am being very dense here because it does not say APPROVED in big bold letters. Is this it? Am I through? If so I am going to be doing a greencard dance all night! The whole bit about the greencard arriving after this notice or after ADIT processing is confusing me LOL. I think my brain is just fried. So this will be the approval notice and then the greencard come later? Will we have to fill in and send some stuff out once we get the notice or are we done?

[rebeccajo 14]

Estella - I think you are golden.

[Donna A 4]

He can sign up. Unemployment doesn't count as a means tested benefit.

WOHOOOO!! okay now I can officially celebrate. I told my husband who is the Non-USC and he said "oh great...what does that mean?". Sigh anyway *I* am psyched. I dont know how it even came about since I didnt INFOPASS or anything. I wonder if calling twice to request a service check last week even though they wouldnt do it had anything to do with it.,.I doubt it but the whole thing is weird. Anyway I am going to keep lurking here for support, I know how insane and frustrating it is to be in this namecheck limbo.

Thanks to everyone here who helped me SO MUCH! I would never have made it through without all of you for information and support. Now lets get some more people through!
