Minsk, CL Asylee, thank you for your congrats. You are right, it is about time. Minsk, just as you did, I ,though using a congressman, checked with TSC about 3 weeks ago, and they told me I have cleared the FBI check on 09/05. They also told me to wait 2 weeks for the answer. I bugged them...

Thankful, That is what I thought too. You see under the same law you mentioned, my mother visited me in the US couple of years ago. In the letter to the embassy I asked them why under the same presumption law she was allowed to come to the US before and now was denied, especially since...

Singh6 I was in the same situation as you are now. Congressman's letter did not help in my case, although, I hope it will be different in your case. According to embassy's reply, there is a new law that REQUIRES IOs to assume that each visa applicant is a potential immigrant...

Since your ND is 2002 and you have not heard anything, I would definitely try to contact a senator or a congressman to inquire on your behalf.

Juxhin, Is your case filed with Nebraska or Texas Service Center? Nebraska is way slower than Texas.

I checked with my congressman's immigration liaison in June 2006. USCIS replied that the reason my case had not been updated since May 19 was because of the name check. According to USCIS reply, that was the only thing they needed to have my case approved. Since my case got updated yesterday...

Same here. Got an update on 09/05/2006. Looks like I have cleared name check with FBI. Last time I checked, my name check was pending. Asylum granted 08/2003 ND 09/2004 RFI Received by USCIS 03/29/2006 BIO 3 04/03/2006 LUD 03/29, 04/03, 05/19, 09/05

Minsk, Yes, I found this out through a congressman's office. Being in name check pending status is not really a matter of having a bad record though. It is a matter of possible match with a person in whom FBI is interested. Although I do not expect this to drag for longer than 4...

Minsk, I forgot to mention that the form you are talking about is Freedom Of Information Act form. FBI says that people requesting the status of name check with FIOA may get an answer that the check is complete, however in reality this may not be so, because of the way name checks are...

Minsk, The way I found out about it is I contacted my local congressman. His office in turn contacted the USCIS. USCIS then looked up my case in their system and said a name check is pending with FBI. According to the congressman's immigration liaison, USCIS hates those FBI name checks...

Taurusborn, Coolguy11, masylee, Minsk and the rest of you all. Do you have a way of checking if your names have gone through the name check at FBI? I wonder if that is what holding us up. I spoke with congressman and my attorney, and the drift I am getting is that TSC is trying to process...

My spouse's case has already been approved 2 weeks ago while my case is still pending. My case was last updated on 05/19/2006. I have inquired USCIS about my case through my congressman, and here's the USCIS' reply: THE FBI NAMECHECK IS CURRENTLY PENDING ON THIS CASE. UPON THE FBI NAME...

Another ND 2004 case approved My spouse's case has been approved today The timeline is the same as mine, even though my case has not yet been approved. Anyhow, it looks like TSC is back from vacation and is picking up speed again. My spouse Asylum granted 08/2003 ND 09/2004 RFI...

They are probably on vacation. Half people in my office are on vacation, and, I guess, USCIS is no exception. Remember though that in May 2005 there were 186000 cases pending. By May 2006 USCIS received some 30,000 new cases, so the total if no cases were processed would have been 216,000...

The cap was removed by G.W. Bush last year. The regulation called Real ID Act was signed on May 12, 2005. http://www.morganlewis.com/pubs/Immigrationrelatedprovisionshr1268.pdf I found the below info on uscis.gov: Adjustment of Status for Asylees The Service is receiving between...
