my own almost 7 months now after interview 🥲🥲

what did you congressman say about it ?

uscis told my congressman they're doing require background check and because of this they can't tell me when it will be over .

same here, it’s ridiculous. reached out to my congressman just before the break and I was assigned a caseworker, praying I hear some good news after the break. I suggest you reach out to your congressman as well what is your pd?

background check always done before interview . how are they saying they are doing background check.

@call me bless” what’s the point to go with congressman if usics is gonna say the same

They are lying , they delay the case on purpose

my is year and three months

still what can we do ?

Nothing bro I called them they said it not normal. they will back to me in months. still waiting

what’s the process after the processing time of over ?

@. H Hh I absolutely thought the same thing… that background check is done before interview for obvious reasons. I mean what if the individual is dangerous? You cannot put them in room with an officer without making sure they are legit.

@amidou did you try reaching out to your congressman ? Also my PD is October 2019 and I feel like there’s just a huge lag with cases that have a PD in 2019. I hate it. what is everyone’s PD ?

mine is August 2020 . I don’t see that good can I do by contacting the congressman

When decisions taking too long after interview it's never a good new it happen to me after my interview I wait more than 11 months anytime I reach USCIS they told me background checks I did whatever I can do to make them take decision: Pression on my lawyer to send a letter asking for result, congressman and every 2 weeks I send an inquiry and under pression they scheduled another interview when I went there with my wife it's was another interviewer when she was checking my file of the first interview I saw clearly that the first interviewer wrote on my file : Denied and she asked what happened to the first interview? and I said I'm choked because everything was okay. So to be honest it taking long because the principal manager don't want to approve the denied and can ask for additional documents or wait couple months then approve or confirm the denied of your case. They was sending the same response to my lawyer and congressman and for all my inquiries about background checks this is just a diversion to win time. Good luck to everyone

@Dolan MD “ so what happen after the second interview? you mean all our cases are denied that’s why we are still waiting ? because I kind of have an info pass appointment and she told me the officer hasn’t made a decision yet , she said it is not denied or approved

I’m not sure true how that is because I see cases taking years here and getting approved. I very rarely seen a denial and if there is… they win in immigration court

@marie Del Mar Montano I ask my congressman to follow up with USCIS so I can know what's going on with my case .I think it was the best that I could do .

after my interview I did sign my certificate for naturalization and the officer said I was to get results in 2 weeks ,in 2 weeks time I received RFE I responded in less than 2 days and it was received, all uscis told me and congressman that my application is now going under require background check.

Dolan did u get a reason for denial

same thing to me , one year after interview

@ Ben what’s ur story ? did u raise service requests ?

@Waiting Patiently . have you seen pretty much all the cases being approved after that long waiting ?

yes that’s why I’m not sure what the prior comment was about. There are cases being approved from 2010 on this app people posted like a week ago and on some off chance you do get denied, you get a lawyer. unless you commit some unspeakable crime you guys will be ok. Don’t stress out, Covid times are double, triple. background checks take waaayyy longer.

but why those kind of background checks? you mesn it Can take up to 10 years of waiting ?

with that I don't know ,uscis will be the best person to ask dear ,I'm just praying for the best 🙏

I think some cases take longer due to processing times on the type of case you have and whether a citizen or PR is ur sponsor etc but I think the actual background check delays have to do with covid delays. Less staff, closures etc

but not all the cases are delayed that’s the question , my friends got approved right after the interview

one year ? omg is is marriage based ?

that’s true but did ur friends apply the same time as you? my green card took like 4-5 from the day applied, uscis rfe us for stuff we already sent so sometimes they lose things. Now I have a case to remove conditions on my marriage based green card… we are still married, have a kid, lots of proof and those cases take 10-16 months due because uscis is so busy. The truth is to remove conditions shouldn’t take 4 times longer than my intial card which I got 7 months before Covid hit but due to covid there are delays. For background checks maybe they are waiting for word back from ur country. I think it’s a covid delay

yes, same time as me . yes , marriage based

do they always check on people’s country ?

PD , August 2020 Interview 11 may 2021 still waiting for Approval the interviewer told me the same thing the will have to run my background check . I submitted an inquiry a week ago Let’s see what will happen. by yhe way this my second time filling I was denied the first time.

@SN i don’t get the last part . were you denied ?

I’m really hoping I don’t have to wait this long for a response . it’s been 2 weeks since I did my interview and nothing

@maria was it before covid or after covid. ur interview?

during

SN why were u denied earlier

I think it’s covid related delay. I keep seeing peoples post about waiting on background checks lately but I never saw that a few years back so I wouldn’t worry too much. uscis is just busy and slowed like every other sector but I don’t think they are heartless people just trying to make you miserable. if your case is marriage based, u love each other and are together… why would they deny u?

yes , that’s right we are together and happy

SO is it Bad luck that mostly all of the case that file 2020 are under investigation?is it SO everyone of us are Bad luck?My spouse is a us citizen and he doesnt have a recore of such to cause problem he file feb6,2020 all he recieve only reciept number when he call and ask all they can told him they are investigating and without an answer they can't make a decisión on his case,he send in everything that they would need from him

they thinking that they are God many marriage case they denied and approve the fraude ones and i AM talking of facts a US citizen came to My country was paíd to marry someone and less than nine months she was in the state now now she remover from conditión to permanent resident si u see the good ones got the Bad treatment My marriage is almost five years it of good faith and not Even a chance to be with My spouse SO they don't know what they r looking for in a marriage.I Saw people here here marry less than two years and it ok,some of them there work premit r up and they marry less than an year and it work for them SO for US over si long are the one with criminal records and u name them BT everyone that got approve un 2021 are the good ones check how Much cases u see approve 2019-2020 and i AM talking jan-feb2020

wow

when there’s a delay of over 120 days there are so many things you can do and the fastest action to take is to threaten a mandamus. that’s to threaten to sue them for delaying to take an action on your interview. I don’t know why y’all who have waited over a year or even a year still waiting. when you threaten to sue them, they immediately give you a response. which is either an approval or a second interview. don’t wait on them because they will waste your time. get a good lawyer to threaten to sue, not sue yet tho. when you threaten to sue they will respond asap. trust me they know what they are doing. there’s a WhatsApp group for people waiting for a decision after interview. my interview was 33 days ago today and no response. y’all can join the group so we share experiences and advice on what to do. https://chat.whatsapp.com/BLBTDt71J2MJk3JxF9CKqn

@kings Wifey did you threat them and they respond ?

I have same issue. I have done several SR, a congressional inquiry and received same response…pending background check. it’s almost a year after our interview and lawyer says I should wait till it’s exactly a year to file a mandamus. Should one wait one year to file one? Also the case is still within processing time.

@honi roni , for me i think I’m going to wait until the case is outsite normal time . what else does your lawyer say ? does he say how long after the mandamus they respond ?

@marie my sister waited after 120 days to file a mandamus and they responded in a week. they gave her a second interview notice. which is the stocks interview. they went for the interview and were approved on the spot and the green card came in 1 week. the longer you wait is on you not them. Because they even say contact them after 120days if you don’t hear from them @honi some lawyers just try to buy time for them which isn’t bad but you can definitely file a mandamus after 120 days of interview. don’t wait too long because it’s either an approval or a second interview.

@kings Wifey. I’m assuming after you wait almost 2 years they won’t call for a second interview.
