What is IBIS??? After my interview in January 2005, they told me that I have to wait for IBIS to clear my name. It is been 6 months now and nothing> I called them to see what is going on ,they sais is the FBI how is taking so long.I just received again the fingerprints.
How long is going to take???
I heard that IBIS is just when you are ready for a final greencard, is that true? Why I am asking my marrige was less then 2 years...what is going on? I can not leave the country, they took my I94. Thank you. And this wainting is killing me.What should I do???
I apreciate it.

IBIS stands for Interagency Border Inspection System and is one of the numerous background security checks that the USCIS conducts before it can approve your green card application. Since the events of September 11, the waiting time for clearance of these checks has skyrocketed, and it’s not unusual for applicants to still be waiting for a response 12 months after their interview. It’s impossible to say how long you’ll still have to wait.

You and your attorney need to regularly inquire about your case status. If your attorney is a member of the American Immigration Lawyers Association (AILA), ask him/her to submit an inquiry through the local AILA chapter.
