If you have petitioned for US immigration adjustment status adjustment in months past, you know the delays have been caused primarily by the FBI name check report to USCIS.On February 4th, 2008 USCIS issued a memorandum directing officers to approve I-485 adjustment immigration petitions if they are otherwise approvable and the name check has been pending for more than 180 days. If your petition is approvable, the priority dates are current and the FBI check has been pending for more than 180 days, the officers may now go ahead and approve the petition without waiting for the FBI name check.
The memorandum also states that if adverse information is later received from the FBI, USCIS will determine whether rescission of the approval or deportation are in order. USCIS has already ordered that its offices do searches for files that are approvable but for the FBI name check. Therefore, if your petition has been stalled because of the name check report, your petition will likely be adjudicated shortly.
You may wish to contact your immigration attorney for more information.
