See my earlier post (#1651) where I gave my .02 for how long I think Oct/Nov ND's will take to be processed. Bottom line: most likely 2-6 months to go for you, with decreasing odds of it taking less or more time.

There are still many, many people with earlier ND's than yours (or mine) who haven't been processed yet so unless yours is an "easy" case which gets early approval, it could be a while yet.

Hi! Skriyaz,
Here is the email address for FBI: fbinncp@ic.fbi.gov.

Search on "name check" you will find all the required information. Joyd had arranged everything, you can contact him. There is a sticky forum where you get the format of the letter too.

Fingerprinting status not updated

Hello,

I am concerned why the status of my second fingerprinting has not been updated. My I-485 ND is 01/08/03. I did my first fingerprinting in April 2003 and my second one on 09/29/04. When I lookup the status of my case, I still see the very old message from April 2003:

> On April 2, 2003, the results of your fingerprint review for your I485
> Application to Register Permanent Residence or to Adjust Status were
> received, and processing has resumed on your case. We will mail you a
> notice if further action is needed, or when a decision is made.

I was hoping that the message would now change and acknowledge that I did my second fingerprinting. Is this something to be worried about? Originally my second FP was scheduled for 9/15, but I rescheduled it for 9/29. Would that matter?.

I have also seen that the USCIS website states they are processing I-485 cases for June 1 2003 at VSC. Mine was filed in Jan 2003. Does anyone have information on whether their processing date of June 2003 is "real" ?

Thanks in advance for all your help.

Most of these questions / issues are discussed elsewhere but...

Don't worry about the status message not changing for your 2nd FP -- many people get approved without ever seeing the "FP received" message.

Apparently people who filed in Jan/Feb/Mar 2003 might be approved after people who filed in Apr - Oct 2003. There is a separate location handling Apr - Oct 2003 ND cases (and they apparently want to complete those by March 2005). The other location is handling all other NDs and apparently hasn't started the early 2003 ND cases in earnest yet.

The 06/01/03 processing date is somewhat misleading. There are many people with earlier NDs who have yet to be approved (just look at the tracker). I wouldn't be surprised if that date rolls back with the next update (which could come any day now).

Hi Anish_GC,

I emailed/faxed FBI enquiring about my "NAME CHECK" a week back.
Usually, how many days they take to respond.

Thanks.

douglas,

It's very flattering! :) I am clueless about this too, I would go with ETA's theory of 2-6 months, but in reality I have been seeing ppl getting approved within 2 weeks of FP too, so keep your fingers crossed. ;)

thank you joyd and eta-gc

joyd, eta-gc, (and all participants):

thank you for your responses. here we are on a friday fall afternoon in beautiful boston (red sox winners :D , patriots winners :p , kerry loser :rolleyes: ). 2 out of 3 aint bad. more seriously i am hopfully 2-6 months away from approval of i485. this years boston tea party will include green tea for sure. i can almost feel it, touch it, smell it. what an ordeal (8 years ive been waiting!). i dont spend too much time writing in this forum, however i certainly check in everyday to see "my friends' joyd, eta-gc, and too many more to mention, and honestly look at everyone on this site as brothers and sisters, all fighting the same battle. this site has given me hope, fear, highs, lows, anxiety, celebration, and visits to a doctor to get prescriptions to manage all of the aforementioned symptoms. i imagine im not alone here. but enuf about me. thank you soo much to all of you for your participation, insights, willingness to help, guide, share, and give of yourself to those who need assistance. i think about what happens after i get green...what happens to all of you, does everyone get green, do some people get lost in the shuffle, screwed out of a job, career, compensation, thrown out of the country. i am sad for those people. however this forum has added tremendous benefit to all involved, and hopefully eliminated some pain for many (i know for me, i benefitted more than i put into it...i guess i feel a bit guilty). nonetheless THANK YOU ALL! have a great wknd, keep participating and sharing and may god bless this forum green. douglas
 
I saw somewhere on this forum that a big percentage of adjustments are being transferred to local service centers (30-55%). Is this a right assessment?
Thanks for any feedback.
