I was expecting to get it the next day but when they told me i can pick it up in an hour, i was pleasantly surprise. BTW, I didn't have an...

    Letter From Chicago DO

    I had to make a Inquiry over the phone to find out the status of my case. Like TDI2005t , my case was outside the normal processing time. Its a good sign that they are tracking cases which are old.

    Chicago IL - N-400 Timeline

    Passed my Interview and received congratulations on N-652. Also, found out that NC has been cleared!!!!! The officer said that they don't schedule interviews without name check anymore which confirms the USCIS policy.

    FBI NNCP's Reply (Via First Lady's Help)

    I was thinking about writing to First lady myself but doesn't seem like it is going to help. I think the only thing that is going to help is WOM with a favorable judge.

    Stuck in name check with new rules after May '06

    I am hitting the 8 month mark from my PD. I have initiated both inquires from Dick durbin (Senator) and Jan Schakowsky (local congresswoman) offices. Dick Durbin's staff was very useful and immediately initiated the inquiry whereas Jan Schakowsky's office was very reluctant to do anything; they...

    frustrated_alot, Welcome to hell...Nobody listens. I also had a similar encounter with the immigration liaison from my congressman office; she wasn't interested in doing anything.

    3 month after FP, no IL rec'd

    I just passed 6 months from my PD. I don't have hope except WOM which requires a lot more wait.... My wife has been waiting in her home country for more than four years now. If nothing comes through June, I'll probably leave U.S.

    Stuck in name check with new rules after May '06

    It means that if enough time has passed, probably more than a year with your case and you file a law suit (WOM) against USCIS, then you can use the FOIPA response as evidence.

    Stuck in name check with new rules after May '06

    I got my FOIPA request back from FBI with no result. The date on the letter says Jan. 12, 2007, so it took more than a month to get a response from FBI. As others have stated, this process doesn't expedite your name check process but helps your WOM case. If somebody wants to file FOIPA...

    How to get one's spouse to US

    I've been waiting for 4 years for my wife. We have some hope since Democrats have the majority in Congress. Although, Congress doesn't pass anything unless there are bigger interest behind the issue or something they need to do in-order to get re-elected.

    NO FOIPA updates on my end either. It's been two weeks and not even an acknowledgment letter. Springbranch, I don't think anything going to improve unless they introduce some sort of premium processing for Name Check i.e. extra $1000 bucks in FBI/USCIS pocket just to do their job on time.

    Stuck in name check with new rules after May '06

    Just came back from Infopass appointment. Same old story. We are waiting on your background check. Also found out that FOIA requests can't be made via fax. Good thing, I sent it via mail also. So how long do guys think we can wait before doing WOM since we can't use the 120 day rule?

    Stuck in name check with new rules after May '06

    I don't know if I did it correctly or not. I followed the advice in Name Check thread. Once I get some sort of acknowledgment, I will put up my procedure.
