F1 OPT through Potomac, 247 days
Hey everyone, my boyfriend has been waiting for 8 months now and we're trying to do everything we possibly can to push his case. Receipt date Nov 1, 2018.

It looks like this waiting time might be seen more commonly with NBC, but his service center is Potomac. I'm not sure how unusual his case is, anyone going through something similar?

We're at a critical time where if he doesn't start working in the next 2-3 months he'll have to return to his home country due to severe financial burden to him and his family.

His case has been with an officer for months, so no expediting requests will help. He has raised 2 SRs, waiting on another one right now. He has help from a local congressman office who received correspondence from USCIS saying his case is under "extended security check" which is supposedly done by other agencies and USCIS needs to wait for the completion of those checks before moving forward.

My bf has never run into any trouble with the law so I'm confident it will come out clean. Not sure if they randomly selected his case for this check, or if this check is even truly happening. I am very worried for him and hoping we can do something about this or that he gets approval within the next 2-3 months, or else he will be forced to leave the country. Not sure if there is a strategic way to go about this or to at least get more info on the processing of his case.
