Please help me understand...

I had applied for N400 in October 2017. Employer based after 5 years. Fingerprinted in November 2017. Still waiting for an interview. 

Took an infopass 3-4 weeks ago and inquired about the delay. I was told that they are waiting for security check. 

Yesterday initiated an eRequest since my case is outside normal processing time which is 2/11/2018 for St. Louis field office. Today they replied that my case is pending adjudication at St. Louis field office. 

Does that mean that they have received security check and should expect interview anytime OR is it something else? In my understanding, case is with NBC at the time of security check and rest of processing. 

Please help as I am a novice. 

Thanks in advance.

NBC is to do security checks and clear all the stops for N400 to be scheduled, then NBC will ship N400 to local office for appt scheduling.. If your file is at local district office, we can assume that the security check is now completed and waiting for interview scheduling.. If possible, I would suggest you set up an infopass appt for your local district office and check with an officer in person just to be sure..

I went for an info pass appointment to the local field office. The officer told me that my case is at the field office and cleared the NBC (National Benefit Center) processing. It is being reviewed and requests for cross checking have been sent. I am not sure what does it means. Does that mean that they will get security clearance again? They told me that they can't tell me how much time it will take. It's so frustrating. Anybody has gone through my situation before? Any idea how much time it will take? Is there anything I can do beside waiting? 

 

Thanks for your help.

Have you ever travelled to some places that known not very safe places? Security check will take longer If you travelled so many within the last three years prior your applying?  The fingerprint for the background check will last only for 15 months.
