?Frequently Asked Questions
How Long After Background Check?
Background checks typically complete within 2-8 weeks. After completion, the next step is usually active case review, interview scheduling, or approval. If stuck after background check for more than 6 months, submit an inquiry.
Can Actively Reviewed Skip Interview?
Yes, some cases go from 'actively reviewed' directly to approved without an interview. This is common for employment-based I-485s, certain family-based cases with strong evidence, and cases where USCIS has sufficient information. However, many cases still require an interview.
