Hi,
My AOS was filed in June 2007 (EB2 - employment based) with the Texas Service Center. In September 2007, I finished my Biometrics. In December 2007, I got a letter from USCIS stating "...we transferred this case to our LINCOLN, NE location to conduct the interview that is a standard part of processing this I485 APPLICATION TO REGISTER PERMANENT RESIDENCE OR TO ADJUST STATUS. You will be sent a notice when the interview is scheduled, or if the office needs something from you...". . I haven't heard anything since then.
I recently opened a service request and got a reply that my case is being processed and needs additional review.
I visited a local USCIS field office where the officer told me that my case is with the FBI for background check and until that is done, they cannot process my case.
My priority date is current and the processing dates at the Texas and Nebraska Service Centers are past my Receipt date.
My questions is - How long does it take to complete the FBI background check? Is there anything I can do to expedite my case?
I have been waiting since December 2007 and fear that my file has either got lost or buried in some government office closet. .
Replies will be much appreciated. Thanks!
