How long USCIS Background Check Takes?
Been waiting since Oct 2020. Congressman contacted USCIS, I called USCIS for status update as I’m outside processing time but I got same response that they are still waiting on my background check completion. Anyone had this response before and got approved? How long did the background check take?

@Favor Mercy ; my case was applied 12/28/2020, no any update. I got response from 2 different congressmens with same response. 🤦🏻♀️🤦🏻♀️🤦🏻♀️🤦🏻♀️🤦🏻♀️🤦🏻♀️🤦🏻♀️🤦🏻♀️🤦🏻♀️🤦🏻♀️
they said my case currently signed to an officer to review however on letter didn’t mention any background check. do you think my delay related to background check.

Favor MercySep 7, 2024
@Hope Hope no they didn’t. they also mentioned it’s currently undergoing review with an officer but the main delay is the background check. it’s been over 4 months now

@tired from waitingg they just said USCIS background check done for all before making their decision

@Favor Mercy ; I feel you , mine is the same , my 360 has been approved since February 2024, no any update on my 485 , even they didn’t request for medical form. uscis responded to my request through the congressman (is currently assigned to an adjudicating officer for review) I saw people here got their approval who applied on 2021 .😔😔😔😔

“We cannot move forward on the case until the security checks have been completed. These security checks must be completed on all applicants who apply for immigration benefits. Unfortunately, USCIS is not able to determine when this review process will be completed.
We realize that your constituent may feel frustrated by delays related to his or her case….”

@tired from waitingg I was agreeing what what you said. I meant that’s crazy and mean on their part for not checking anything and just making the process going long.

@tired from waitingg we are in the same boat. I’m also October 2020. it’s frustrating but I believe we’ll smile very soon.

@Favor Mercy I hope so🙏🏻

@Favor Mercy have you contact with congressman/woman?
Favor MercySep 12, 2024
@tired from waitingg yes and their response was that:
“…currently the case is under review with an officer. However, the processing of your constituent’s case has been delayed. A check of our records establishes that the case is not yet ready for a decision, as the required security checks remain pending.
We cannot move forward on the case until the security checks have been completed. These security checks must be completed on all applicants who apply for immigration benefits. Unfortunately, USCIS is not able to determine when this review process will be completed.
We realize that your constituent may feel frustrated by delays related to his or her case. USCIS must weigh individual inconvenience against the broader concerns of public safety and national security.”…

@tired from waiting my question now is how long more do I need to wait for?
I also called USCIS and a request ticket was opened as it’s outside processing time, they responded within 3 weeks with the same background check thing. it’s over 5 months now. It is well. Let God take control.
tired from waitinggSep 12, 2024
@Favor Mercy i did not even bother to contact with him or reach my congressman because i know that will be their answer:( I hope soon we will get approve
