Response to Service Request from USCIS

[mlrrr]

Hi All,

My employment based I-485 application has been pending since Aug'2004. My labor priority date is May 2003. I came to know from immigration officer from local office few weeks ago that name check process was cleared very recently. But, USCIS has responded to a recent service request as follows:

The processing of your case has been delayed. We are currently awaiting the results of required security checks on this case. These background checks are required of all who apply for the immigration benefit your are seeking. We will make every effort to make a decision on this case as soon as security checks are complete. If you do not receive a decision or other notice of action from us within 6 months of this letter, please contact us by calling our customer service number provided down below.

If name check is cleared what else is pending? Is information provided by the immigration officer at local USCIS is wrong regarding the security checks.

Could you please throw some light on these background checks. What are my options. How many more years do i have to wait? Your valuable information in this regard is greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance,
MLRRR

Have you tried contacting your local congressman or senator's office? Many times, a request to take action on a pending case from a congressman's office has much better effect than a service request or infopass.
