Thanks everyone! Received plastic cards on 11/13 and 11/14. Received both approval notices on 11/15.

You guys, who filed WOM, are almost like war heroes. I almost became one but my war ended before it started ;) Well, at least I don't have any wounds to heal :cool: Thank you!

Although it's good it does not mean you won. Yet. Most likely judge will schedule hearing for your case (unless they adjudicate your I-485 before). If you file pro se: - be prepared to explain your situation, be as clear and consise as possible - make sure you understand everything you...

You have to decide if you want to file WOM yourself (pro se) or hire an attorney to represent you. If you file pro se you need to: 1) find your district court 2) get pro se package from them (handbook, local rules etc) 3) create complaint according to the local rules and numerous...

My I-485 and my wife's I-485 were approved today. The bad part is that I missed the fun to sue my dear friends from USCIS and FBI (I was so excited to file WOM in 2 weeks). The good part is that I don't have to spend $350 for that. I don't know how my name check was cleared. Recently I sent...

It's somewhat grey area for me though. I did see Nor Cal pro-se hand book providing caption page example with 2 plaintiff's names. Maybe I'm confused because of this or similar message: http://boards.immigrationportal.com/showpost.php?p=1536200&postcount=6040 All cases with multiple...

If you file "pro se", you can't include your spouse. Some people did and got hunted by AUSA.

The "1%" they are so proud of is extremely huge number given the limited resources of FBI NNCP division. There are about 80000 cases stuck in namecheck for over a year (2003-2005).

Am I missing something here? http://www.dhs.gov/xoig/assets/mgmtrpts/OIG_06-06_Nov05.pdf

May 17, 2006. Do you believe FBI eliminated 90% of the backlog in 5 months? http://www.dhs.gov/xlibrary/assets/CISOmbudsman_AnnualReport_2006_II-F-Name_Checks.pdf

That's really funny. USCIS reported 130000 cases stuck in name check, most of them stuck for years.

Here's what I have found. I hope it helps or at least might be a good starting point for you. http://boards.immigration.com/showthread.php?p=1434531

I forgot to mention this is absolutely legal, there are just certain formalities involved.

I believe you can write it yourself, but you have to follow certain rules. Try searching I-140 forum for these rules.

You can start from this FAQ http://www.fbi.gov/page2/nationalnamecheck.htm Your namecheck can be expedited by USCIS. Previously people used to write representatives from congress, senators, mr. president and the first lady and it used to help, at least to some extent. However once these...

Luckily FBI is still providing fingerprinting status over the phone. Call them, have your A number ready. Normally they return results to USCIS the same day.
