The 1800 number is famously known as the misinformation line. They are only able to see the thing you see online. Try having them transferring you to an immigration officer who would have more information to your file. Insist to talk to one.

If nothing comes out of it, I would definitely make an infopass appointment (even though it is a 6 hours drive each way). They should be able to let you know what is the hold up. Make your plea in person...Ask them if the background check is the hold up.

Last resort is to get your congressman involved.

Good luck.

Oh wow, I am sorry to hear that.

congressman office say the gonna call when they hear something but nothing all now

Have you tried calling your congressman and asking for an update? When a congressman makes a request on behalf of one of its constituents, USCIS must reply very quickly. Waiting over a month sounds very unusual. I would try calling them and see if they heard anything.

MArk!! we are on the same track, What is a congressman? and how can I involve one into my case I also see that my case will be longer than the 6 months that it already have, they do not give nothing of information.

First step is usually an infopass. Congressman is your local member of congress. You can contact them when you need help with a federal agency. It is usually a last resort when all other avenues have failed. You google your local congressman, follow their instructions and they will get ahold of USCIS on your behalf to see what is going on.

A congressman is a federal government representative for the House of Congress. Sometimes it is also used for your Senator. I would contact both as some aides are much faster than others. It is normally best if the USC does the contacting.

Contact them by phone, email, or in person and the office can explain what you need to do to start an inquiry.

I concur with all that is said. Get infopass, and while you are at it, get your passport stamped with I-551 extension for an additional year.

9 months is too long. I am sorry to know of your suffering. Unfortunately many of us have to walk through it. I myself was a victim of such a long wait and used to think racism and discrimination was involved. Call the 1-800 number and place a service request immediately. Also schedule an infopass and speak to them face to face. During my AOS period, I would schedule an infopass every 3 weeks until a decision was made. I involved my congressman and the Senator and both their offices confirmed my AOS approval before I heard from the USCIS, meaning they are helpful indeed, if they want to help you. Good luck and we are all here for you.

send a one year extension
