Hi,
My I140 is pending since May 2007. My attorney did inquiry on my case and got following response:
"USCIS is committed to adjudicating immigration benefits in a timely, efficient manner that ensures public safety and national security.
Toward that end, USCIS requires extensive background checks for every application or petition it adjudicates. While background checks for most applications or petitions are completed quickly, a small percentage of cases involve unresolved background check issues that result in adjudication delays.
Background checks involve more than just the initial submission of and response related to biographical information and fingerprints. When checks and/or a review of an administrative record reveal an issue potentially impacting an applicant’s eligibility for the requested immigration benefit, further inquiry is needed. The inquiry may include an additional interview and/or the need to contact another agency for updates or more comprehensive information. If it is determined that an outside agency possesses relevant information about a case, USCIS requests such information for review. Upon gathering and assessing all available information, USCIS then adjudicate the application as expeditiously as possible.
We have checked in your constituent’s case and have been assured that the agency is aware of your inquiry, and is monitoring progress related to it. However, unresolved issues in your constituent’s case require thorough review before a decision can be rendered. Unfortunately, we cannot speculate as to when this review process will be completed.
We realize that your constituent may feel frustrated by delays related to his or her case. As an agency, we must weigh individual inconvenience against the broader concerns of public safety and national security.
We hope this information and assurance are helpful. It we may be of assistance in the future, please let us know.
"
Please share your views if any one else also got be above response.
I heard many I485 cases were pending in past because of name check but never heard any I140 was pending because of background check. I also read on USCIS that no 485 will be pending for more than 180 days because of name check.
My other I140 with Jun 2008 PD got approved just in 4 months but this one stuck because of name check. can any throw some light on this and suggest some action items for me so that I140 can approved sooner.
Thanks.
