A little background on my case:
This is the second time I am adjusting status as the spouse of a US citizen. I got my first green card through marriage in 1999.
I had it for 5 years but did not pursue naturalization because my home country did not allow dual citizenship and I was not willing to renounce my old citizenship. We moved back to my home country in 2004. In 2006 I gave up my green card as we were permanently settled back home. After living at home for several years my spouse became home sick and wanted to come back to the US and our kids were starting high school and we wanted them to go to high school here.
My wife and the children came back to US and I stayed back home running our business and taking care our interests back there. I came over about 3 times a year to visit spending two or three weeks here on each visit and the family came back to home country during Christmas/end of year break. Long story short my marriage begun to suffer because I was mostly absent from the home and my oldest son started having behavioral issues because this. At this point we tried to figure out how best to address the situation but could not come to an agreement. Basically she wanted me to move back here permanently and I found this unreasonable and she would not listen to any of my ideas.
By early 2016 my marriage had become really strained, my wife started to accuse me of infidelity/abandonment and filed for divorce. Anyway I can back to the US to try and save my marriage and family. We worked through our marital problems and she did not go through with the divorce. So in April 2017 I once again filed for AOS, I got my EAD at end of July and I have not heard from USCIS again.
I recently started to pay attention to other peoples timelines and it seems that most people who filed after me are already receiving their green cards and I have no updates on my case since the case/finger print fee received update. What could be taking so long in my case?
