Nugget of the day!
I’ve seen some people ask about the delays and such after an interview . so here is a nugget USCIS will not approve an I-485 (Adjustment of Status) application until your background checks are fully cleared. These checks include: • FBI name check • FBI fingerprint check (biometrics) • Inter-agency criminal and national security checks (e.g., with DHS, DEA, CIA, etc.) Even if everything else in your application is perfect (interview done, documents correct, etc.), USCIS cannot move forward with an approval until those security checks are complete. In rare cases, delays in these checks can hold up a decision for months or longer.

visa Application is been refused under section 221(g)
My 11 year old daughter went for her immigrant interview in my country few days ago with the accompanying of my cousin because the mother was not available due to work, I planned to travelled down to take her myself but my own citizenship interview falls within same time, meanwhile my wife that we have been married for about 6 years now and we have a child together and just bought our first house last month with $632k filed for her. The interviewer ask my daughter if when ever I visit my country if I do stay with her mum she answered yes, which was not true, the officer also ask her if I do enter her mother’s room she answer yes, which is not also true. the officer further bring out our family picture that me, my wife, my son and my daughter took when we all visited my country last December and left in January and asked her who my wife was she answered that is her step mother. the officer further ask her if we all stayed in same house with her mother during our visit she answered yes which is not true also. Meanwhile my daughter is a little special but she is getting better as she grow older but not fully as it should be. She was then handed 221g paper, then the next day we got an email that her case was been refused and that the case has been returned to USCIS with a recommendation that the petition be revoked. they said USCIS will contact us and provide with opportunity to respond, and that the case is considered close at the embassy in my country and that we can contact USCIS for further information. Please has anyone been in this situation, my marriage is real, my wife and I and child have visited my country and we are also planing to visit again coming December. please how should I respond to USCIS when they finally contact us or should be contact them before they do? how do we proof that I do not stay with the mother or me and my wife never stayed with the mother during our visit. please any suggestions would be appreciated.

About PP, for the LAST time…(Not legal advice, just experience and thoughts)
In a previous post (READ), I clearly explained why I believe premium processing (PP) is essential these days, if you can afford it. So please, take action! FAST! • Get real, and stop dreaming basing a decision on future probabilities… the Time is NOW! and NOW is getting WORSE! • This is not what you might want to hear, this is what happened to ME and a group of colleagues who applied with me. Get your answers quickly! Get adjudicated! If you receive a Request for Evidence (RFE), address it! If you face a denial, fix it! And then, get in line—fast! • Imagine we're in line at a coffee shop with at least a thousand people ahead of us waiting to order their “I-140,” and even more are joining! There’s only one or two employees making the coffee, and they're struggling to keep up (AOS)! But they’ll continue serving coffee because that’s the only way to keep the shop open. > Please understand this: the situation isn’t what it used to be! It’s NO longer about being current in the process. It’s all about grabbing that ticket and getting in line to pick up your coffee as quickly as possible! The longer you wait, the more distant your priority date becomes, making it harder to order your coffee AND EVEN WORSE GETTING IT PREPARED!. • Remember, these days, PP is NOT about being current! It’s NOT about being current! It’s NOT about being current! IS NOT ABOUT BEING CURRENT!!! Secure your spot and get in line! Note: Just a friendly reminder in response to many comments I've received asking, “Why should I do PP if I’m not current?” This is not legal advice and it's not mandatory, but it's important to be realistic about the current situation—it’s not getting any better. More and more people are applying, and there aren’t enough staff to keep up with the demand! I don’t understand why people don’t see that millions are applying and decide to keep waiting because “I’m not current so blah… blah…” and risk waiting and face a possible RFE OR DENIAL! I don’t get anything from taking my time to write this than the peace of mind that I told 3 times and warned everyone! with a heart felt Post. • The choice and the responsibility to do what’s best, is yours now, Good luck to everyone!
