Thank you everyone for all of the comments.

Our case was stuck in FBI name check for "extended reveiw". I heard some people would stuck there for over a year.

so, we were seriously thinking about making a lawsuit against USCIS at one point,

but our 2 congressmen, and Ombudsman helped us a lot.

They made lots of calls, and wrote letters and push them to look into our case.

USCIS finally approved us. We are sure if without their helps, our case wouldn't have approved yet even now.

people on visajourney helped us lots as well to make us not loosing hope.

Thank you very very much.

See you guys in the next-step threads!

Finally some great news for you and Alan. You were both pre-March filers.Congratulations :dance: :dance: !!
