FBI Name Check

My name check was struck for more than 20 months (Filed I-130 and I-485 on 03/2006). Last week I have received a letter from local INS office stating that I have to go back for fingerprinting for the following reason

Reason for Finger Printing: “Initial Processing of your fingerprints
The period of validity of your fingerprints check has expired
Your fingerprints have been rejected by the FBI.”

Do you know what it means?
Did FBI not started my name check until last week and realized that my FP have been expired or
FBI is done with the name check and they just would like to have updated FP taken again.

Thanks in advance for you advise.
 
FP validity 18 months

finger prints are valid for only 18 months, after this you need to go for appointment again.
thats what i think

I know how u r feeling , i can truly understand the pain and the frustration , I am bust drafting letters now to expedite the file transfer from nebraska which itself is an headache , our day will come soon

Thanks for the kind words. Anyway, my EAD status changed today - says they mailed the approval. My current EAD expires in early February, so there is a chance that the current and the new one will overlap by some two months...
 
I could find the news article about FBI no longer doing name checks on eitehr ilw.com or shusterman.com.

Does any one still have links to those articles?

What does this status mean ?

Hi All,

I got a letter from USCIS. Please help me understand what does it mean.

Status 5 days ago:
Application Type: I181, CREATION OF RECORD OF LAWFUL PERMANENT RESIDENCE

Your application for permanent resident status is being processed. If approved, a new permanent resident card will be mailed directly to you from our immigration card facility. If you do not hear from us within 30 days of the date shown on this notice, please call customer service number at 1-800-375-5283.

Current Status:

Application Type: I181, CREATION OF RECORD OF LAWFUL PERMANENT RESIDENCE

Current Status: Approval notice sent.

On November 30, 2007, we mailed you a notice that we have approved this I181 CREATION OF RECORD OF LAWFUL PERMANENT RESIDENCE. Please follow any instructions on the notice. If you move before you receive the notice, call customer service.

Does that mean the name check is cleared and the 485 is approved?

Thanks in advance.

FBI Name Checks Latest

Immigration Daily's recent comment (11/30/07 ID) on the status of FBI name check delays resulted in the following response from USCIS Office of Communications Bill Wright:

Immigration Daily's 11/30/07 comment, "FBI Delays to End," is not telling the entire story. USCIS and the FBI are working together to process name checks as quickly as possible without compromising security or public safety. To this end, we have examined the existing name check system and acted to address the problem through two strategies: (1) first, USCIS and the FBI conducted a joint risk assessment which resulted in process improvements that permit us to focus on cases of concern (2) second, USCIS and FBI have allocated additional resources to the process. Over the next year, USCIS is planning to commit a total of $15.5 million to address the backlog of FBI name checks. Please note, however, USCIS continues to require FBI name checks for the same categories of applications and no case will be approved without a cleared name check. We will continue to work with the FBI to reduce waiting times; but, not at the expense of national security and public safety.

Separately, Immigration Daily has learned that USCIS expects a 40% reduction in FBI name check delays by year-end. This reduction will be achieved largely through the allocation of additional resources and a more streamlined process. This information supports DHS Secretary Chertoff's earlier statement that applications that were previously ensnared in the name check delays will be cleared quickly. However, he cautioned that a small number of checks will still be delayed by investigations.

Received Card

Hey everyone,

Just as an update, we received the I-130 approval notice, the I-485 approval notice and my wife's Green Card in the mail today. No information mistakes, so I think we are all set. Good luck to all those waiting. Now onto a N-400 in 2 years and 6 months :).

Sli, congratulations!
Our timelines are almost identical so your case gives me some hope... I only got my EAD renewal in today's mail but guess what - it is good as of late January. Since my current EAD expires in early February, there is almost no overlap (which I expected to be as long as two months)!

So, USCIS people can be efficient... congrats again!

However, if you do not mind me asking - why N-400 in 2 years and 6 months and not in 3 years?

Rambela,

the general rule of thumb is that you can apply 90 days before your 3 year period. In my case with my N400 (5 year waiting period as GC eas employer sponsored), I applied 6 months early with no issues. I figured I could do it for my wife as well.
