I filed my I129F (K-1) in Sep 2008 and then received my NOA1 in the same month.

Since then it has been over 6 months, I'm still desperately waiting for NOV2.

So far I tried everything that I can possibly do, I've called USCIS numerous times, checked the status online, and even sent out the letter to the congressman, but nothing helped me at all.

Presumably saying if something was wrong and/or missing in my file, I still might have gotten something from USCIS by now. Right?

I'm getting tired of waiting, & most of all I miss my fiancee...

Can anyone predict what might have happened to my case?

Without any word from USCIS, it's hard to offer any advice.

Have you contacted a Senator? they are better at getting a response from USCIS.

My Advice is usually based on "Worst Case Scenario" and what is written in the rules/laws/instructions. That is the way I roll... -Protect your Status - file before your I-94 expires.

WARNING: Phrases in this post may sound meaner than they were intended to be. Read the Adjudicator's Field Manual from USCIS

To continue with my question, I finally received something from USCIS after requesting for my status numerous times. It was a very unpleasant letter. According to USCIS, they are still investigating my background~! I was speechless~!

What kind of background checks do they do??? I was aware that it's a part of the process (with FBI right?), but why is it taking so long? Are they checking my fiancee's one too or just me? Absolutely I do have a clean records without a doubt...

I actually got my US citizenship in the same year (2008) that I applied for this K-1 visa & I had no issues like this at all when they checked my background.

The worst thing is that if I do not hear from USCIS within 6 mos. then I need to check back with them after 6 mos. later. What kind of a response is this? How long do I have to wait then?

Can this be happened to anyone, anytime or am I just be the unlucky one?

As an alternative options, can my fiancee come to the US with a tourist visa while our case is in pending so that she can stay here with me until it gets approved? Or If she can come, can we just get married here?

Can anyone answer my questions? I'm so frustrated & hopeless...

Any comments and/or answers will be greatly appreciated....

Thank you

First off - congrats on becoming a citizen!

Secondly - Try to remain calm and don't do anything stupid.

If you have filed a K-1 and she comes here on a tourist VISA you can get married BUT you will have committed VISA Fraud and she cannot stay in the country and worse may be banned for 5 years. Also a K-1 is for a fiance so the K-1 process would be voided and you would need to start over with a K-2 Visa.

You should contact your US senator for assistance in speeding up your background check and provide dates and details to assist his/her office in investigating your case.
