    About two weeks for all Washington D.C. guys, and may be 3 days for a local US Attorney. And that was the more important date - because US Attorney defends the other guys and consider his/her receipt date as a starting date. Also DHS did not sign and did not put a date on their "return...

    h1empl, It should be a federal district court - for the district you live in. I do not know how many districts are in NJ, but should not be many.

    Hi H1empl, This is amazing that your name check request has not been sent to FBI till Feb. 2005. It looks like INS was making some checks on their files at that time so both mine and your requests were sent at that time. As for "name check priority date" - there is no such "official" date...
