i-140 approved but USCIS doing 'additional research' ??

My i-140 was approved and the case was supposed to be sent to the NVC. My PD has been current for 2 months, my search for the case lead me to the USCIS saying 'additional research' is being done.

Does anyone know what this means? I can't see anything in the forums on USCIS doing 'additional research' after the case is approved and notice sent. Please help!!

This is what was sent to me:

"USCIS has informed the NVC that additional research is being performed on this case, and it will likely experience additional delays before being sent to NVC for processing. Unfortunately, no timeframe is available as to when this case will be sent to the NVC. As soon as this case is received at the NVC, notification and further instructions will be sent"

Don't know much but lots on Google for your visa. They are doing background stuff.

A limited number of EB-3 green cards available each year -- only 40,000 in total, of which 10,000 are allotted to unskilled workers. The result is that workers who are classified as unskilled often have to wait much longer for green cards than workers in the two other subcategories. It depends on how many other people apply, but the demand for unskilled workers is high – just think about how many employers would like to sponsor their nanny or caregiver for a green card. The wait gets to be as long as ten years, depending on what country the worker is from. (Per-country limits also affect the allotment of visas.)

In Arizona its hot hot hot.

Thanks for your reply, It's actually EB3 - Skilled worker, it's already approved and the PD is current, Visa's are available but case has not got to the NVC.

USCIS has not asked the petitioner or myself for further information and we have not received any RFE's. Do you know what kind of background stuff they could be doing? or even how long it takes?

My guess is my file never reached the NVC, seen as it's nearly 3 years old. It can therefore only be at the USCIS, would it have gone into storage? (or something?), surely it couldn't sit on someones desk for years?

If it was only filed 3 years ago how come it is current?

It was filed way before that but was approved 3 years ago. It's Employment based 3rd (EB3) - skilled worked, my PD is now current because of the recent jumps

Visa Bulletin says PD is 01SEP08.

So you are saying it was filed approx 10 years ago and has been current for 3 years.

Just wanted to make sure I understand correctly.

my PD is 13 Sept 07. Therefore my date has been current for 2 months. My petitioner filed i-140 about 4 years ago and i-140 was approved 3 years ago.
