I did my interview January 2021 still waiting, just wait all hope not lost, trust in God and keep believing

it is what I have been trying to do, but it is hard when you are not allowed to work.

was your field office ?

Texas, and yours?

you would have applied for Ead again while waiting

but the interview was in Orlando, not sure where the application is at this point.

queens New York

I have applied again 13 months ago

things are really slow with uscis

which Texas field office

?

I know one was close down recently

I don't know Texas center

did you change address?

nope, there is people waiting for longer than me for their EADs

did you change address while before or after the interview?

never changed address, Texas center is where the application went, Orlando is where I did the interview

your file for the interview is still in Orlando just be patient

I did the interview 14 months ago. 😅

hey ! same situation here and I don’t know someone who was gone through the process and came out without suing , I have not idea what to do . have you talked to lawyers ? I have and they said there is anything I can do because suing

are you going to sue? do you mind if I ask how much they charged you?

I am not yet . do you want to take my number and we talk more privetly ? then i Can delete the comment

just say it and delete the comments after

sue uscis, is the most effective way that you can get your case process faster, they realy affraid of that, they can't do nothing to you once you are right and you don't have any backround check, but it's expensive. they are affraind of that because once a judge rules in your favor for a case all the others people who has similar case like you has it, will be granted automaticly.

but Im sure people has sued them within the time we have been waiting and nothing has happened

hello 👋. same situation here. did my AOS marriage based March 2021 got a RFE after interview. response submitted accordingly after that, nothing about my case status. we did a service request and the answer was that my case is pending for background check

I'm thinking sell my car to sue USCIS. next month will be 1 year.

l have 3 years marriage 💑. the lady officer was not friendly at any moment. also my lawyer confront her because her actitud

what did they ask for on the RFE?

corrected dead certificate . ( just a correction)

that was what the IO requested in order to make a " final decision "🙄. lm really tired about this process. it's affecting my work, relationship, etc.... can't make a future plans on our life. and the worst thing is how this waiting game is affecting the mental health. so l just want to finish this bs. positive or negative. l don't care.

sorry about my frustration

sorry to hear that, at least you got an action after your interview, mine has not had a single action for 14 months. my lawyer did not go to the interview with us,(EB2 work visa) the agent did not let me speak since the main applicant is my wife. I could not understand if she was ok with us or not.

pls let us know how is processing for suing , and how it end it up

I decided to wait till Friday to see if there will be any updates from ombudsman. I called the lawyer and they all want a consultation first before saying how much it will cost. I guess I will have to pay it, but I wanted to know how much before having to pay 120 dollars since I have seem that some lawyers charge an insane amount

have you talked to the congressman ? it is the same as the ombudsman?

no, it is different

what’s it then ?

you should try both before the mandamus, so you can show that you tried everything

understand!!!!!

is you case past processing time ?

yes

wow i thought once the casé has gone after processing time they’ll resolve the case within weeks

nope, mine is 2 years over it

ok I don’t get it , how it’s been 2 years since you sent the application ? how long that is it say is the processing time in your office ?

Texas center is currently processing i-485 from July 2020, my application is from December 2017.

omg that’s awful ! I don’t understand

so do you think is the background check or they are looking into something else ? does the lawyer say anything to you ?

l believe that background check is a generic response from uscis. is just that the IO or the supervisor don't like the case be adjudicated.

I am with you on that, but what would they do, postpone it forever? or trying to build something against me. my brother in law has been through the same thing a little before COVID, but in his case ombudsman worked for him about 15 months after the interview. maybe it is not they don't want it processed, maybe it is just on someone's desk or drawer collecting dust.

they have the power to approve or deny the cases . but when there's no reason to deny is when the case keep on hold.

yeah, I read it is hard to deny an EB2 case if the i-140 is approved

lately I have seem a lot of people waiting months after the interview, so I have no idea what is going on

yeah man!! that's what I learned in this process. I think I can be a lawyer for all information that I had reading.

but why they wouldn’t like it ? what’s the reason for the hold then ?

the problem is that what is on internet may be old information or one's opinion. but one thing is for sure, this is not a fair process and say that they process case in order they are received is bullshit

in my case was just a RFE after interview. we did everything as suppose to do it. its almost 7 months after my response. and nothing from uscis.

well in my case is the background check and nothing

the thing is, it may take anywhere from a week to 10 years. lol

whatttttt Noo , 10 years , how so ? why ? the office told my husband a week to a month and nothing

just that I'm in background check. and nothing about the Rfe response. l have no problem with the law a all.

so your brother in law case was hold for background check as well? what was the final decision?

have you seeen someone getting out of this situation ?

I ma not sure if it was background their response, but he was approved 15 months after the interview after contacting ombudsman

many people when get desicion disappear and do no post theirs experiences through this process

yeah, i will do a final post for people to have the reference and be gone after a month

👍

you mean after suing ? please let us know how it goes

Hello, any update about your case?

nope, had a meeting with a lawyer to sue them. let's see

👍 ok.

hello. is there any update about your case?

nope, working to file a mandamus =/

actually there is, this week my EAD is arriving

ok. how much your lawyer is charging for a mandamus?

the lawyer said 2500, the problem is he can't file it in Florida, so he needs help from other lawyer to file it and they charge 1500 more. I am still talking to some more lawyers to see. now that I got my EAD I have more time to think

ok. l live in Florida. should be good for me to have your lawyer contact information

I tried with Wilkes legal, but as I said they can't do it in Florida, so they will have their fee + the Florida lawyer fee

@done, not done any updates on filing mandamus?

hey guys after my case was in the same situation I just got approved! so keep hanging in there and trust God

congratulations 🎊

what is your field office?

the interview was at Cincinnati office , i think the processing times got updated because I can see they are shortly now

ok. did you sue ?

today's is exactly 1 year that I did my interview.

no , I don’t not . it got resolved but it’s own . I was 1 year and 2 months

so you was 1 year 2 months on background check? and now your case was approved.?

and you did nothing. just wait for Uscis to take action on your case?

yes , one year and 2 months after the interview and now it’s approved and my case were hold for back check . nothing besides 2 inquires in which they said I need to keep waiting . it took me by sorpresa when I saw the notification.

👍 ok

congratulations Maria. I did not file a mandamus yet, my EAD finally got to us and we would spend 4400 filling it. our baby is in the way and we decided to forget about for a while and use the money to buy baby stuff. we sent another message to ombudsman and they made another enquiry to USCIS. I do believe filing a mandamus is worth it, but it is also expensive so we are waiting for a little longer though not happy about it.

probably I need to wait 2 months more. 🙄😅🙏

keen hanging in the abs trust God !

amen!!!

done . not done. any update about your case?

had a second interview a little over a month ago, last week I opened a request they say it is pending officer review. God knows what that actually means

ok. Hopefully your journey will finish soon.

sadly I'm still waiting. no movement on my case

Hello @ done, not done…please any update with your mandamus if u finally filled. pd 2019 i130 and stuck on actively reviewed since Dec 2021. thinking of finally mandamus.
