Quality Review by USCIS, Have any of you heard that before?

[Neo007 0]

I am a September 2013 filer and had my Interview around mid February. I passed interview, however officer told me decision couldn't be made at that time and I am stuck ever since. My Field office is Dallas, Texas and they are currently processing cases from October, a month past my priority date. Next week would be 120 days that I had my interview and my case is still in limbo.

I had made couple of info passes and a service request in the past months but they are of no help. With all the frustrations I contacted my congressman's office and explain my situation, they made inquiry on my behalf. The response I got from congressman's office is as,

"Upon conducting a Congressional inquiry on your behalf, I have received the following response from USCIS:

Your constituent’s case was approved on May 23, 2014. The file was forwarded for quality review. After the quality review is completed, the file will be placed in queue for oath ceremony scheduling. Once an oath ceremony is available, a copy of the oath ceremony notice will be mailed to your constituent".

Now this makes me semi-happy, however I have never heard anything about quality review. Have any of you guys been in this QUALITY REVIEW stage, Its has been two weeks and I have not heard anything from them yet as of now. Should I make an info- pass or contact congressman office next week, if I don't receive any response? what would you guys suggest?

I have been patiently waiting for 9 months already and I am little concerned now :-(

They might be just re-reviewing why was there a delay in your case. I'm speculating that you might have been given final approval during your first interview but you still had to wait this long, and needed congressional inquiry to find out you were approved, so they were seeing what errors they may have done to cause the delay.

I agree with jcarlo. Everything I've found online about quality reviews has been related to reviews of why USCIS failed to adequately respond to service requests. I think you're probably fine and have nothing to worry about. Good luck.
