在印度網看到這個，看來最近不少以addtional review 借口

cases with SR reply: "Have to perform addtional review on this case" and what to do?

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Everybody,

I am seeing that now there are many applicants who have got this reply from USCIS for therir pending I-485's:

"Based on your request we researched the status of this case. We are actively processing this case. However, we have to perform additional review on this case and this has caused a longer processing time. If you do not receive a decision or other notice of action from us within 60 to 90 days contact customer service 1-800-375-5283".

It is apparent that something is amiss when so many cases are being held up and PD's which are more then 2 yrs later are getting approved. USCIS is just attempting to silence the info-seekers by throwing the net wide upon by quoting "additional review" and asking everybody to contact after 180 days.

This is a vicious cycle.The USCIS quotes "additional review" when the dates are current and does not adjudicate the cases,and when the Dates have retrogressed they no longer work on these "additional review" cases.
With the Upcoming Retrogression (EB3 India to may 2001) we are going to be waiting much more then the 180 days .

So shoudlnt there be a SYSTEMATIC ATTEMPT in getting USCIS to clearify when one can expect the "additional review " to be complete or at the very least what constitutes a "addional review"?

Ways this can be done is through:

a. A AILA Query.
b. Contacting the Ombudsman.(Specifically making him aware how Retrogressed cases are specially hit by the double whammy of "additional review" and
Retrogression).
C Make a attempt to have the Congressmen/Senators ask the USCIS to specifically clearify this "additional review" mess.

Its time to get Pro-active(not just pro-active but hyper-active) and try to make everybody aware of our plight due to this additional review mess.

Regards.
