This might've been asked already but I just wanted to make sure. 

I received my NOA2 in the mail on 06/25 and got the email approval on 06/19. The letter says I have to wait 30 days but I see some posting saying we can call right away for a #?  

As I am a little confuse please kindly advise on what next step I should make. 

 

Thank youuuuu!

Begin calling about 10-15 business days, not including holidays, to retrieve your case number. You only need to make one call a day and the two best times to call so your not on hold for hours is 7 am EDT but not 7:05 because now you are in the que and the other is late at night.

Hi I call nvc they informed me that my case number is in pandding, what is mean that they received my file drone uscis ??

Can't say for sure. Did you ask that question to the agent you spoke to? Can mean either it's still at USCIS or it's in NVC and they haven't assigned a number. Just call once per day and ask till they give you your case number.

Receive our RFE in the mail yesterday it asking for certified copy of divorce decree showing judge signature.. so I'm wondering if this can work

 

Yes that will answer the RFE because if you reread the screen shot you took it states that it will be signed by the judge. I think that will do you.

Congratulations!!!

Pls Help, this is what I got after my case inquiry, my case is 227 days today after sending noa1 and 240 days after sending my petition.

 

 

Your case is currently delayed because the required security checks are still pending. We cannot make a decision on your case until we receive the results of these security checks. 

We hope this information is helpful to you.

It looks like they want you to wait longer so they can pull up more information. What country is your beneficiary from? Atleast they have acknowledged they're looking into it and have actually touched it.

 

Have you contacted your representative to get involved?

I received an email response from my congressional case worker today:

 

Quote

RE: I-129F Case

USCIS records confirm that the referenced case is pending background check clearance. USCIS is committed to adjudicating immigration benefits in a timely manner while also ensuring public safety and national security. A small percentage of applications and petitions have unresolved background check issues that temporarily delay adjudication. Although USCIS makes every effort to resolve such cases promptly, USCIS is unable to speculate when the background check will be completed. 

If a background check reveals an issue that may impact an applicant’s eligibility for the requested immigration benefit, further inquiry is needed. The inquiry may include an additional interview and/or contact with another agency for updates or more comprehensive information. Upon gathering and assessing all available information, USCIS will adjudicate the application as quickly as possible. 

 

USCIS realizes that the constituent may be frustrated by the progress of their case. However, the agency must balance individual inconvenience against broader issues of public safety and national security.

 

So basically, those of us with delays are likely experiencing backround security issues and it seems the service centers respond back to politicians far faster than civilian service inquiries

 

Takeaway: Just keep waiting.

So I just got a response to our outside normal processing case inquiry...I called and spoke with a tier 2 officer. Apparently our security clearance still has not gone through. She couldn't tell me anything more than that. Im so frustrated. Our case is simple. I've never been arrested and neither has he. We both have never been married. I had to go through extensive background checks when my brother joined the air force just to be able to enter the air force base for his graduation. My fiance is a doctor who works at a government hospital so he has already undergone extensive background checks to work there as well. I know USCIS does their own detailed background checks but how long does it take? Its been 7+ months. Does anyone know what the standard time for this is? Or is my case going to be on hold forever? I feel so incredibly crushed right now, this whole process has been so difficult on my fiance and I and I just want it to be over already. Does the fact that we are both Jordanian and Muslim have anything to do with why this is taking so long while others are being approved way after us?

 

Edit: Just saw the above posts about security checks pending. What countries are you guys from? Is this a Middle East issue?

My beneficiary is Romanian, never committed a crime nor has any family member of hers committed a crime. I'm US Air Force, obviously never committed a crime nor has my immediate family.

 

Simple case, we both have never been married, no kids, etc. Why would this be a middle eastern issue?

 

A poster with a Ghana beneficiary had to wait 9.5 months for their NO2 so I can't really complain right now. I'm just glad the petition is not lost nor have we received any RFE yet.
