We talked to our senator's office and gave them all of the information. After a few weeks, we got a form letter in the mail saying that they were looking into it. I don't have very high hopes. The representative's attitude on the phone was not very helpful. She said, "your husband can work and...

not a problem for us After my husband and I (USC) got married, I changed my name at social security, driver's license, bank accounts, passport, professional licenses, etc. But since I'm a little older (in my thirties) and we had been together for a few years before we got married, many of my...

My husband and I (USC) are considering filing a writ of mandamus in order to get some resolution on his pending AOS. He filed 10/03, interview 6/04, stuck in name check for 2 2/2 years and counting. I have heard that when the delay is due to the FBI that a writ of mandamus will not be sucessful...

Pardon me if you have posted this elsewhere, but are you from a country that the US has "issues" with? Have you been able to get any actual written evidence that you are in fact stuck in name check? I would feel better if I could understand why this is happening. - or speak with someone who...

In response to "why don't you file a lawsuit?" I spoke with an attorney who estimated that it would cost $2,500 - only if he was apply to settle and not go to court. He also said that if the issue is because of the FBIs delay, that there is nothing that we might not be sucessful. So we would...

My husband and I (USC) submitted for AOS Oct '03. We had our interview in June '04 (it went great). Since then we have heard nothing other than that the AOS is in "name check". That's 2 1/2 years and counting with no end in sight!! We've contacted our senator, INFOPASS, --no answers. We were...

My husband and I (USC) did exactly the same thing. Because of residency requirements for weddings in France, we had our "official" wedding at city hall in NYC and then had a religious wedding ceremony and reception 3 months later in France. We had our interview and it was not a problem - at all...
