CR1 Texas

[Dora Malta 0]

My husband started the process on October 15, 2018. I have 10 and a half months without approval in Texas, my husband has called on other occasions and they always told him that everything was going well, he already filed the petition out of time and they gave him one more month to give you an answer

Call and ask to speak to a tier 2 and then ask about the status of your background check. If you're still in background checks then it's probably going to take a while, if the background check has been completed, then you should hear soon. You might have to try calling a few times because they're reluctant to transfer people to tier 2 and also tier 2 are reluctant to look into things (the one we spoke to initially said nothing was wrong with our case).

 

As an example, we are September 2018 Texas filers and were just approved on August 22nd because our internal case status was still "in background checks" despite the fact that the results had actually come back 4 months before and it took tier 2 looking into it to figure that out (our case inquiry did nothing). In the week that we were approved, 7 other cases from our PD were acted on (approved or RFE) after very little movement from our PD for about 2 months (I'm assuming they were also caught in the same system bug that we were). 

It's highly unlikely that what happened to us is what has happened to your case but at this point it's almost certainly background checks or an internal error that is holding your case up. Basically be your own advocate and don't take "everything's fine" for an answer, because at this point, something is almost certainly holding it up!

Thank you for your answer .. My husband had today and I did not communicate with a level 2 agent, I only told him that within a month they give the answer since he made an inquiry on August 26 for out of time, I am desperate because they do not give more answer than that, I go for the 11 months without approval in Texas ...
