    New immigration bill and its effects ? There seems to be some points based system coming. Will it affect the existing I-485 applications ? I have a bitter experience of the labor moving from SFO DOL and landing at Philadelphia Backlog Enhancement Center ( and it rotted there for 3.5 years ).

    From http://www.fbi.gov/page2/nationalnamecheck.htm , . . My Freedom of Information/Privacy Act request to the FBI resulted in a "no record" response. Given that, why is my name check request still pending? Freedom of Information and Privacy Acts (FOIPA) requests are sometimes confused...

    USCIS looks at your documentation only after namecheck clearace ? If so, that is a 'great' way to skim past the load of applications and then claim a 6 month processing speed. http://boards.immigrationportal.com/showpost.php?p=1671863&postcount=1642

    I applied both on April 12, 2007 . Wife's AP cleared in 2 weeks. My AP cleared in 1 month. But EADs are just sitting there. Last year AP & EAD got approved within 14 days.

    One of the reasons : Many are stuck in namecheck Many are stuck in namecheck ( you know mainly which countries ) and so didn't consume the anticipated amount of visa numbers and visa numbers got wasted.

    One of the strong reasons why visa numbers were wasted is that many applications didn't get approved due to security check. This could sound positive for the folks with later PDs, atleast they could apply I-485 and get benefits like EAD,AP etc.

    There is some reason By August 1, 2006 the EB2 visa dates of a particular country were being "U" . So there was a rush of applicants filing in July 2006 ( i happened to be just one of them ). When they sent applications of July 2006 for security check it was a huge box. Seeing the size of...
