Two to three months,  your file gets transferred from Vermont to NBC or local office. 

Most of the times, you don't get any updates of the transfer. 

I see, It's been three months so far, I should wait and Since I can't inquire through senator at the moment, I shouldn't worry about the case.

I was approved mid April and my file got transferred ending May. 

Did not got any update for that, but knew it through my congressman. 

So, I believe your file has already been transferred from Vermont to NBC.

Our recent jokes have been effective at evoking approvals and positive progress (that is, if correlation = causation)!  It is Wednesday, so here is our Semiofficial Semiweekly VAWA-Thread Joke:

=====================================================

THE WAR WITH THE DEVIL

 

Fed up with God's creations, Lucifer decided to lead an army to destroy humanity.

 

The war had been raging for many years, and humanity was slowly losing.  Lucifer could raise a never-ending stream of demons, and until he was contained, the fighting would never end.

 

In order to stop him, God gave the humans a ritual that would seal away Satan forever.  The Pope was recruited to carry out and command this operation.  However, before they could seal Lucifer away, they first had to find him.

 

Suddenly struck with an idea, the Pope went to gather the world's most renowned authors and artists.  When they were assembled, the Pope set them to work on creating the most elaborate work of fiction in history.  Every corner of this work was written and illustrated, every blade of grass meticulously described in words and brush strokes.

 

After years of continuous work, the project was finally complete.  Bound together into a million-page book, the tome described a universe in more detail than real life could ever manage.  The book was placed on an altar, and with the preparations compete, the ritual began.

 

To everyone's amazement, as soon as Holy Light stuck the book, Lucifer himself appeared.  Like a shadow in the light, his presence radiated evil.  But it was too late for him.  The light closed in onto the book, and Lucifer was bound inside it, never to escape.

 

There was silence for a minute, and then everyone erupted into cheers.  Amidst the celebration, someone asked the Pope how he knew where to find Satan.  The room grew quiet as the generals and Cardinals awaited his answer.

 

"Well," he began, "it was really quite simple.  Everyone knows that the Devil is in the details."

@Rhema1 is correct, they wont update you of transfer to NBC and then to Local office. I got to know my I485 case was transferred in March through congressional inquiry. If you are not in a hurry and have a work permit, just wait for 6 months after vawa approval and then resume congressional inquiry / out of normal processing time inquiry if you dont hear anything by then.

I saw people here saying security background check os something related to FBI checking everything under your name all over see if you have committed any crime !

and background check is USCIS investigating all the documents you have submitted! 

The law defines background and security checks as follows:   

 

Security checks: 8 CFR 335.1. 

"The investigation shall consist, at a minimum, of a review of all pertinent records, police department checks, and a neighborhood investigation in the vicinities where the applicant has resided and has been employed, or engaged in business, for at least the five years immediately preceding the filing of the application. The district director may waive the neighborhood investigation of the applicant provided for in this paragraph."

 

Background: To check if the person has a criminal history record or a rap sheet.

That sounds good, Thank you, I tried the inquire but my Senator's office said, it's too early to inquire.

Thank you for information, it brings the anxiety down a little.

Thank you, I will probably just wait as you said. it's been 3 three months already, so hopefully I will hear something by the end of October.

@sandranj

Thanks for the clarification.! Just want to ask a follow up question, what stage of the process are  these checks carried out? I mean, which one of these is carried out before deciding the  I360 and I485 or they check at each stage for both forms.
