Nope...
USCIS is slow! Slow! sLow! slOw! sloW!Background Investigation....
I thought the Background check backlog was cleared!!!

YES!!!!!!!! that is true

Can the remaining "Junies" represent the one with the hammer and the head getting pounded on with the hammer be USCIS CSC?

Hi there,
My husband and I are still waiting for our NOA2- received our NOA1 back at the start of June, and had a touch mid September, but since then, nothing. Really not sure what the hold up is, our case seems straightforward. Do I have to wait exactly 5 months before I can call customer services and chase this?
Any advice much appreciated as getting a little frustrated now!
I think you reached 5 months in this month, You should contact with them and ask about your case. If no good answer from them contact your cong man.

Now is when you want to get your Senator/Congressperson/etc involved, if you haven't been approved yet. It takes them (your representative) a while to get and process your information, so starting the process now is for the best. That way, by the time they're ready to inquire for you, you'll be right at the cusp at which point USCIS will have no excuse. Hopefully it won't come to that, but I've found that you can never be too careful in these situations.

I'm so sorry it's taking a long time.
If it's any consolation (and it probably isn't), you could speed through the NVC process in record time and end up ahead of some of us who got our NOA2s quickly. We received our NOA2 in August, and here it is NOVEMBER, and we're still not done.
It's definitely time to start calling the USCIS, but in the meantime, check and double check that you have everything ready to submit to the NVC as soon as you get a case number. This means original long-form birth certificates, divorce decrees, marriage certificate, police clearance certificates and any court records for anything that shows up on them, even traffic stops (that's what held us up!)

If your police clearance certificate lists anything, then you have to get the records.
If your police clearance certificate DOESN'T list anything, but you know you have crimes, you do have to list them, and they will want the court records.

So, are background checks including speeding tickets??? Cause if that's the case... I typically get one every year.. the one year i didnt get one i wound up getting two the following year... This is the same repeating pattern each year since I was 16, now im 25... I naturally allocate about 200.00 per year for my annual speeding ticket.

If it shows on the PCC, it will raise a red flag. There is a PS to this story. I had asked a supervisor to review the file, making it clear that those charges on the PCC were traffic-related. I obtained the court records and overnighted them, but we got a case complete before they were even received!
So I'm not sure now if it was an RFE that the supervisor said oh, we don't need those, or what??

Well, we've got a touch finally!! (on a Sunday which seems a bit strange), and when I spoke with customer services they seemed pretty surprised that we still don't have our NOA2. Apparently we should expect to hear something within the next 2 weeks, because as of Friday there were still some petitions from the end of May being worked on, which really shocked me...
