Great news Fjelltronen, Congratulations!

Man, DON'T GIVE UP! Go to local Senator and Congressman offices right away! Have copy of FBI namecheck related memos with you! Push them to make official expedite request to FBI and USCIS. I was told that federal agencies have to make official responce to congessman and senator in a 30 days...

Scopt, I haven't been waiting for cards, I been waiting for namecheck clearence - on interview officer said he could not approve case without FBI namecheck results. In your case I do recommend to do infopass to clear up status then go to local congressman and senator office, explain your...

Thanks, guys! 23 Jul - 1 day before I received "Card Production Ordered" mail

My journey is finally over - we received cards yesterday

Thank you, Johnkent

Unfortunately EAD and AP approve means nothing. USCIS do not reserve visa number as far as I know :( So in the time of I-485 case approve they check again for visa # availability - See pretty detailed document here http://www.immigrationportal.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=17373&d=1207061497

Thanks maconcita! About your questions - yes, it's common practice to have an interview for DV based cases. I wouldn't count that your case will be approved without an interview. EAD and AP usually approved pretty quickly after FP, but it require some time to make a card and mail it. So I...

Finally - CARD PRODUCTION ORDERED Looks like visit to congressman works Thanks to everybody this forum and especially this thread help me a lot, Hopefully you all get your GC soon too

Update: sent email to senator last week, come to congressman local office at Monday and make a request to help with USCIS. Still nothing - case is pending. Will go to infopass next Monday, again. Even 180 days rule not working for me as expected - bad luck :(

Had infopass today. My namecheck still pending, but 180 days passed last Friday. Luckily today officer was aware of 180 days rule and timeline importance of DV cases, she sent message to adjudication officer to pull out case for processing. So far status was not changed. I guess I'll give...

Congratulations Johnkent!

Congratulations fjelltronen, it's a huge step forward! pegah61 - namecheck submitted by USCIS, usually right after case processing been started. Usually - couple of days after Notification date on NOA. Criminal background check after fingerprints appointment is a different check. I haven't...

Congratulations Orangeandwhite!

No you haven't. Fees for AOS, EAD and AP are included in $1010

Fjelltronen, sorry to hear that :( By the way - how you contact congressman and senator office initially - by mail, e-mail or appointment? Could you give me example of request if it was done by email?

People got stack on namecheck sometimes. Look through this site, look http://www.immigrationportal.com/showthread.php?t=229911 as an another example. In the past some lucky guys were on namecheck for 6+ years. Anyway almost all go through fast enough - only about 10% got stuck for months -...

It doen't matter for how long application is pending. What matter is for how long FBI name check is pending and it's less than 180 days for my case so far. See http://www.uscis.gov/files/pressrelease/DOC017.PDF for exact memorandum text. In addition I'm a little bit nervous that this memo is...

Had another infopass last Friday. Namecheck still pending :( 185 days since docs been sent, 184 days since number became current, 142 days since namecheck received by FBI and 74 days since interview. Just bad luck :( Anyway looks like it's time to start preparing letters to congressman...

Yes, this memo seems to be quite helpful, a lot of people who stuck at namecheck for years received GC last months. The problem is - it could work for DV cases only if case been received by USCIS till mid-end of March. Otherwise 180 days passed after Sep 30 and it hardly helps.
