If you’re pending security checks, there’s really nothing you can do on your part. Just wait it out…the good news is that in the end you will be approved! Do not lose hope stay positive!👍

Thank you

Hey guys, My GC arrived today.  I can't even explain the feeling, but I just know that I'm going to start living life. My only advise for you is to be patience and believe in god.  🙏

If you are on security background check (most likely FBI) there is nothing you can do to speed the process but your congressperson might help if you keep contacting them,

 and remember the longer your case the closer you come. Good luck 😊

Thank you!

During my biometric, I had to do it twice for different forms same day. Is this normal and could that be the possible reason for the delay?

Unfortunately, nothing can bypass security! Not even the influence or intervention of your senator or congressperson! It will run the full course! Patience is all that’s required here!🤷🏻‍♀️

@Weldonboy This matter needs legal attention/intervention! Mere advise and suggestions here may not be enough! I read through the narrative and USCIS intent and understood that you confessed to sham marriage. This matter is very serious. It is time to get a lawyer if you believe USCIS has the wrong information or that there is a mix up somewhere! You need God now and a great attorney!🤔

I read thru the noid and it appears the applicant agreed to every claim pushed towards him and that is what some USCIS officers wish. Pure intimidation - 🤦🏼‍♂️. Like you mentioned it will take God and a good lawyer to fix it. Plus a very detailed personal affidavit rejecting some of the claims will help. Looking into a waiver might also help. I'm just figuring out some options 🤔

I feel so bad for him! This petition has been pending since 2017! And to refute or fix this mess will take more time! Time to get a knowledgeable attorney! @Weldonboy

My i-360 has been pending security checks for 28 months now with 3 Prima Facia. I filed march 2019, please can anyone give me some hope. Is there anything one can do at this point? Is this a positive sign or negative sign? Thanks, your responses will be appreciated.

They should be asking you to resubmit new fingerprints soon.  Usually after the 2nd time, the wait is shorter.

Thank you for your response. I hope I get a positive response, there haven't been any update on my case for more than 2 years now. Since my biometric was applied to my case.

Hello am a new member,please am i welcome herre

Only if you pay the entry fee and accept that correlation equals causation.😜

Divorced US citizen spouse in December 2017. 

Filed I-360 on Nov 12, 2019

Filed I485/ C31 EAD / AP in Feb 2020 (Stupid lawyer filed C31 instead of C9, and I didnt know EAD codes, didnt know about this VJ forum either)

On H1b status since 2014, H1b 6 years expired in May 2020. Out of status / Period of authorized stay since then. 

Amended EAD petition to C9 and filed expedite request for same in mid-may 2020. 

C9 EAD approved June 4, 2020. 

Biometrics done in Oct 2020. 

I485 case transferred to NBC for "faster processing" on September 30, 2020

Filed C9 EAD / AP Renewal petition in February 2021. 

Initial Advance Parole (from Feb 2020 application) approved in June 2021. 

C31 EAD production update - Nov 1st, 2021. 

C31 card delivered to attorney's office on Nov 8, 2021. 

I-360 case approved status update - Nov 22, 2021. 

No RFE throughout.  

Senator's office confirmed via congressional inquiry that the St. Louis office has received the I485 file and is currently awaiting interview scheduling - March 7, 2022

C9 EAD renewal card production case update - July 20, 2022 (took them just 17 months to process)

C9 EAD / AP renewal approval case update on both cases on July 21, 2022.

Combo card delivered to attorney's office on July 27, 2022

Medical exam RFE Drama: Second congressional inquiry sent in early July 2022 for I485. USCIS responded on 8/12/22 to this congressional inquiry that they issued an RFE on 5/24/22 and were waiting for my response. My lawyer denied receiving RFE and there was no such update on online USCIS portal. Lawyer's old firm was safe mailing address on my case. Lawyer changed firms a year after I hired her but did not change mailing address for my case with USCIS, she said she had a deal with her old firm to forward all her clients' mail to her new firm. Old firm denied receiving RFE. Sent another congressional inquiry requesting copy of RFE on 8/17/22. I also got medical exam done on 8/17/22 as I assumed RFE was for medical exam (thanks for this forum's insights.) Yelled at lawyer and threatened her with dire consequences. On 8/18/22 my lawyer's old firm finally found scanned copy of RFE in their "archived scans" (whatever the duck that is) and emailed it to me. It was indeed RFE requesting medical exam. On 8/20/22 I mailed medicals sealed packet with copy of RFE to St. Louis field office. Also sent a notarized letter with the packet - updating safe mailing address to my home address and informing St. Louis field office that I fired my lawyer. Sent similar letter to Vermont Service Center on the same date. 

8/23/22 - Fedex confirmed delivery of medicals packet to St. Louis Field Office. 

8/26/22: Case update on I485: New Card Is Being Produced

8/29/22:  On August 29, 2022, we approved your Form I485, APPLICATION TO REGISTER PERMANENT RESIDENCE OR ADJUST STATUS

9/3/22 green card delivered to attorney's office (they didn't change safe mailing address despite my written requests to FO AND VSC.) 

9/6/22 VSC returned AR11 and my letter requesting safe mailing address change. In their letter they said something to the effect of "you can do this online, we wont do it via snail mail request etc." Just posting as an FYI, its weird. Also received I485 approval notice on the same date.
