Does USCIS do backround checks on I-129F's??

[ojos_de_alicia 0]

its taking a long time now.. over 100 days and it sucks!! i seem like the only black line still sitting in the group who filed around the same time

if they are checking on things would they tell me when i call??

or would they just see that its pending... some lady who works there told me she only sees what i see and she couldnt even tell me when my case was last updated!!! ... i mean.. even i can see that!

do i write a letter to them to see whats going on or just keep waiting?

the last lady there told me i had to wait until the processing time was past my date filed!!.. is she nuts?!?!!?!

I think certain applications are subject to background checks, but I do not know if there is a way to tell. Based on my observation there seems to be a lump of people approved each month with a few stragglers left behind ( you and I ) with no explanation and very little available to us to try and find out anything.

I also think the processing dates are quite similar to pizza delivery times. All pizza places with tell you 45min-1hr or during busy times say up to 1 and 1/2 hours even though it might be there in 30 min or less. This gives them a way to cover their asses when things actually do take a long time.

Background/security checks are done at USCIS service centers, NVC and Consulate. These can be done on the beneficiary, petitioner and anyone connected with your case, including a lawyer. If there is a name hit for whatever reason, your case won't be cleared until it is resolved. IBIS is the data base used but they have the option of other data bases if it is warranted. You can contact your representative and have them enquire on your behalf but they cannot assist in getting your file through faster if it is undergoing background checks. You will however at least know whether it is in this process. Other than that you will get the standard response of having to wait.
