Dear Paz! Congratulations!!! Many thanks for sharing your information and taking lots of time patiently answering our questions in this forum. The knowledge you provided has been indispensable for many of us! Thanks again! May your clearance procedure (for that nuclear lab of your...

This simple logic does not work in legal matters, especially involving the Government. All the agencies you sue are the Governmental agencies and the general rule is that you have to sue all and every agency that you might even remotely suspect to be involved in denying you the service. As...

Wow, your CIS is being really generous. After 8 months of post-interview waiting I sent the same letter to my San Jose Sub-Office. They instructed me not to bother them any earlier than at least 6 months from the date of their reply. Best of luck, snorlax

I am not sure I have seen such post. I tried to do that through FBI customer service at 304-625-2000, but the lady told me that she can not give me any info regarding name check initiated by CIS. May be you can try and be more lucky? I also tried to do that through Senator and Congressman – no...

If the delay is not due to the FBI name check or other security checks, writing to your Congressman and/or Senator and asking them for help with USCIS should probably be sufficient. I would wait for statutory 120 days to pass and than ask one of them (or both) to help you with USCIS clearly...

I have sent my 30-day “intent to sue notice” letters to local USCIS, AUSA and Office of General Council. I doubt that anybody will read those – it appears that only official summons with court stamps trigger any attention. But I think it is good to have those letters as an exhibit for your...

Do you guys think this new USCIS “no expedite” tactics requires some change in tactics on our side too? Would not it be more reasonable now to avoid any contacts with AUSA and, if the defendants happen to be oblivious to the existence of your lawsuit, file motion for default judgment immediately...

Dear pearlgal: I am just a dilettante, who is planning to file in San Jose in mid-February – far behind you on the conveyor belt. No gurus answered, so I decided to chime in with my 2 cents. For what it is worse, my understanding is that if that was an answer as you said it was – the AUSA...

Dear fellow co-sufferers: I have just prepared my 1447b case and sent 30-day “Intent to Sue” letters to Office of the General Counsel, Officer-in-Charge San Jose Sub Office of USCIS and US Attorney. Planning on filing by mid-February in San Jose and posting the developments. If there is...

I do not have experience to share as I am in San Jose, where processing time for N-600 is about a year. You might still be interested to know that I applied for my kid's passport and received it in about 2 months - no hassle at all. If you have not done it already, you may consider it as I have...

Hi Shakeel, My experience is rather limited as I have not filed anything yet - still building my case. Yes, you can go to local USPS with your receipt and obtain a copy of the never-received green slip. It may or may not have the receiver's signature on it, but should still be acceptable to the...

You can get a copy of the green slip from your local USPS office as long as you have a receipt indicating that you paid for the proof of delivery. If you do not have the receipt, you can still show the web printout at your local USPS, pay something like $3.25 and get a copy of that green slip...

I have not filed anything yet, so this is not an advice, just a thought. You can find pretty good arguments in the attachments to posts #2032 and #5767. Best of luck! snorlax

Dear Dhua: Congratulations on winning your case in San Jose! I stuck in the same name check about the same time as yours, but I have waited for those statutory 120 days before doing anything. I am currently trying to build the case and waiting for the FIOPA and congressman inquiry. It looks...

Is not the decision on one's application under the court jurisdiction for as long as the case is not closed? I thought one could argue that the court, not the INS, has the power to adjudicate the case.

New member Dear Friends/Colleagues: I have been following this great forum for several weeks and have just registered. Just like the most colleagues here I got stuck with this dreaded N-400 Name Check. Encouraged by the success stories found here – great job guys! Couple of INFOPASS...
