My son and I had AOS interviews on December 23, 2002 in Boise, Idaho.
We were "unofficially" approved for residency with conditions,
security checks were still pending.

Six months later, no word. Attend BCIS office, still no word on
security checks.

Seven months now and nothing.

Do I keep waiting and waiting? I'm beginning to think our files have
been misplaced at the FBI end of it. Also once approved officially,
is it back dated to the time of the interview? Technically I could
apply to have conditions removed in September 2004.

Thanks
