I am stuck in Name Check for last 2+ years like many others here and writing letters,sending faxes to FBI is totally useless.Also sending FOIA is also of no use even if it comes back with No Records. I contacted my local FBI and they were very helpful and the Agent took my info and got back to me a day later.Same answer "Pending". He told me that the Name check Division has lot of problems and they are losing people on top of the huge backlog they have. According to him, all these stories we hear that FBI Name check is trying to implement a new System to eliminate backlogs is all BS. Right now,NNCP Division is in a hopless state.

Here is what i think we can atleast do.It may not help any individuals case and i dont think there is a way to speed up any individual case.

I wrote to Congress Committes who had hearing with FBI NNCP in the last 2 years and I explained them the state of affairs at FBI NNCP and how thousands of people are suffering. If all of you canfax a request to the Committee, it will certainly get attention from law makers.
Whether they do something about it or not, we dont know but what do we lose after all?one sheet of fax and ten minutes of time to write up something.

I request you all to act now and fax their office.

Here are the links to the Committee offices and the FBI testimony to those committees.

Finally, Guys dont give up on this and please fax to their office.
Whether we see any benefit for individual cases or not, we will definitely need to bring it to their attention as we may see a benefit atleast in the next year or so. If we leave it like this, NNCP will take for ever in the pretext of National Security with the way they are struggling right now.
 
Post the phone number and a sample letter

Please post the phone number and a smaple letter. I will fax it tonight. and I will publicise it on the portal.

Thanks
 
Committee on International Relations:
Fax: (202) 225-2035

Committee on Science
Fax: (202) 226-0113

Committe on Govt Reforms
Fax: (202) 225-3974

I think everyone should and come up with a letter format(4 or 5 lines) that outlines the hardships with the Name check program (unusual delays 2-3 years and no customer service or no way to find status etc).
We can also explain why we are writing this and the Green card process we are going thru etc.

I suggest that we NOT use one standard format and make it look like a spam.

Be Sure to write your name and may be email address or phone number because anonymous message is definitely NOT a good idea.
 
Only way to find status details is by contacting local Senator or Congressman.
Again some of them are willing to help and some are not.

If you are looking for just the status even USCIS can tell that if you make an INFOPASS appointment, but its useless beyond knowing that its pending for X number of years.

The Congress should take another hearing. The FBI has departed from what they told to the Congress on the Name Check Program. Should we not kick the FBI? Do it!
 
The only way to make them do it is by writing to those committees.
All of you guys please fax or write to those offices.
 
Never give up Hope, keep trying!!

Good idea, well done. We always have to try something or the other. One thing that I did was push my lawyers to contact their INS liaison which helped with my case. I told my lawyer that he needs to contact the INS to check on my case and request to expedite with FBI NC, guess what.....1 week later INS called to Lawyer to say that they will expedite with FBI as my case was pending NC for over 3 years. I got letter from my senator yesterday that my NC cleared as of December and file sent to INS for futher processing.
Good Luck to everyone here............be patient and things eventually work out!!!

Yes!
Additional info confirming this 3 years:
someone initiated case expedition, INS replied that case pending due to secirity check... few months later case was approved (yesterday, with the approval date BACKDATED TO Dec 29, 2005, which was exactly 3 years AFTER FILING I-485 form).
So these 3 years are important mark (maybe, this is some new policy), still not clear is it for NC pending, or I-485 pending, but these (NC and I-485) are normally close to each other.
