Placed on processing hold for security checks

[Jenilyn and Awal 22]

I tried to get information about our case from Uscis but was told it's on processing hold waiting for security checks. This been on this hold at least 6 months so I am wondering who does the security checks for returned cases? Is there anything I can do at all?

From what I understand, the FBI does these types of checks and they take a very long time since it is not at the forefront of priority for the bureau. USCIS has no control over how long it takes, nor do they know when it'll be done.

so have you got your NOIR?

 If you havent then that's  the checks that they supposedly resulting in many waiting over a year for.

This is what I have done so far...Still waiting for response.

I submitted FOIA to USCIS asking for consular notes. I was given a tracking number to check the status of the request.

if I am going to wait, I am going to make them work while I wait.

The FOIA response should be in within 72 days. I sent mine in March..

You can also use your elected officials to keep inquiring.

My plan is to keep someone "touching" my case until they get sick and tired of me.

No noir as yet but we had one before case was sent and we sent in evidence for same durn thing then . I have everyone asking on this and it's been a year back but 16 months since interview. What the FBI look for on that stuff

I have seen 18 months or less on here. 

So keep calling them. If you go past the 18 months then you need to make lots of noise.

Many will suggest you do nothing but I am a firm believer in doing something other than nothing.

A user called "hardway or hardaway" not sure got NOIR earlier than 16 months. Check up with him/her to see what was done.

Could it be we just are not going to get one? Could be they have enough evidence already ? Like I said we answered to the same question ofrelationship before it wS sent to ghana.

That's very possible. Some people get reaffirmed without getting NOIR/NOID. Just keep staying proactive on it.

It's sent back from ghana to Uscis  so the tracking on ceac actually said that but after a year it says it's expiring which means you need check with Uscis tell them it's on hold at Uscis and keep copy that you told them. For the security chec and how I know I big the hell out of them every month so they checked and sent me an email stating it's waiting security check . I've heard if you have. Ommon muslim name chance of security check is higher
