    Luck with FBI/Namecheck???

    So anyone had any luck recently with inquiring about their namecheck status with the FBI? I faxed and e-mailed them more than 2 weeks back requesting for a status - but no response back yet. Also, there is no record online of my AOS interview. Is that usual? thanks
