Letter From Lawyer About The Long Waiting Cases

[Dreamer3oh3 40]

So I got this email from my lawyer, it's basically comments from other lawyers nation wide and what they are saying about their own cases. I hope it brings you guys some comfort to know we're not alone.


 

"Having been the liaison for NSC DACA filings, I can say that there are many DACA cases over six months old which are pending for security clearances. Some of those cases include criminal incidents and some do not. Currently NSC will not provide any estimate of when such cases will be resolved."

 

"I called on 3 cases yesterday pending over 8 months - no criminal issues on any of these - I was told by NCSC that they are in FBI background check and nothing can be done."

 

"I’m hoping you all learned something at the conference that can help the DACA kids whose cases have been pending forever. I have several of these cases where the kids have some municipal, juvenile, or minor criminal issue and USCIS just seems to be sitting on them. I’ve done the “beyond processing time” calls to USCIS, but the only response is “still processing” Does anybody have any brilliant ideas about how to get these cases moving?"

 

"All, please continue to share experiences and results of strategies such as Liaison or Congressional assistance -- I've also got a DACA coming up on 8 months and got the same not-especially-helpful response from USCIS once the 6 month posted processing time was exceeded. I bet many of us on this listserv have clients in the same slow boat..."

This really sucks. So basically they have been doing nothing and continue to do nothing.

No one seems to do anything since immigration keeps saying one thing and then another

The processing of your case has been delayed.  A check of our records establishes that your case is not yet ready for decision, as the required security checks remain pending.
Until the security checks have been completed, we cannot move forward on your case.  These security checks are required to be completed on all applicants who apply for the immigration benefit you are seeking. We will make every effort to make a decision on this case as soon as the security checks are complete.

have you written the office handling your case?

[tlancaster80 8]

Yes and they told me to wait 90-120 BUSINESS DAYS for a response. Ridiculous, right????

[tlancaster80 8]

Good afternoon, USCIS records indicate the processing of these cases have been delayed and are currently pending internal extended security review. A check of our records establishes that these cases are not yet ready for a decision as they are under an ongoing review. We cannot move forward on these cases at this time. We will make every effort to make a decision on these cases as soon as the review is complete. If a decision or other notice of action is not received from us within approximately 90-120 business days from the date of this e-mail, please contact us again for an update. There is nothing that can be done to speed up this process.
