Background check would no longer hold family based immigrants in abeyance

Those who are applying for family based adjustment of status need not wait long to que for their interview because of the pending name check. According to the latest instruction of USCIS if such an applicantion is ready to be processed in all the other respect and the only item remaining is the name check, the applicantion shall be placed in the interview que after 6 months of waiting for name check. However, lining up for the interview will not be available if the name check is performed and the application is awaiting the biographics (fingerprinting).

This policy gives a respite to all those I-485 applicants who have been awaiting their interview for years because name check clearance was not given.
