Check your USCIS online account for status updates
Look for case status changes such as “Case Is Being Actively Reviewed” or “Interview Was Completed and My Case Must Be Reviewed”
Check your USCIS notices and mail for any requests or updates
Review whether your biometrics appointment has been completed
Understand that USCIS does not usually show a separate “background check complete” status
If your case is moving forward, that often means background checks are likely done or in progress
Ask your attorney or accredited representative if you have one
Contact USCIS through Emma or by phone if your case is outside normal processing times
Check Reddit USCIS threads for similar timelines, but do not treat them as official confirmation
Wait for the final decision or interview notice if USCIS has not provided a specific update
