Have you ever heard the term hot background check. I called up to inquire about 485 and they told me a hot background check was requested for my 485 in the same day my 601 was approved

I haven’t got AP or EAD they are just saying received as of April 14. I tried expedite and didn’t get anywhere.

It was for misrepresentation and an old possession of marijuana charge from the 90s. I did have a non immigrant waiver previously on my O1 visa. 1 - uploaded it 45 days ago when approved. 2 - haven’t done that but my 485 is at the FO. Should I send there? 3 - have tried for work permit and travel but not for 485. I am going to try that though and see if it gives them a nudge. 4 - tried congressmen and they got a templated response. thank you for the suggestions. Is it normal with an AOS that 601 gets approved without even having any interaction on 485? I was told 601 approved by NBC and my 485 is at FO.

I filed my i485 and i601 concurrently in April 2023. I never attended an interview or got any change of status on my 485 but was fortunate to get my 601 approved on 12/5. I haven’t heard anything on my 485 but I do know it is at the field office. I can’t seem to find any examples of this or what the next steps are and timing. Anyone have any insight on next steps or timeline?
