Another one bite the dust i.e. me as my name suggest Humbledbychk 
( I don't know what other reaction I have to give in case if you are wondering about smily face - I am out of expression )
OK a short Summary - Myself & wife filed N-400 on 10 Feb 06 under Chicago DO / NSC. Had FP on 31 march 06. Had Interview 9 June 06. Also I was taking Full Oath with arms to bear etc. Nothing unusval or special consideration. Also I had a pretty clean record, only one A file and no problem at all in last 10 years of legal status with each and every day accounted for under proper legal H1b or GC document. only visits last 5 years out of USA is one 4 month & other 3 weeks while maintining full residence in USA and all taxes paid as Residnet status.
My wife got cleared with "congratulation". She had a very wonderful joyful IO for Interview. To put it in perspective He was so good, you might have thougt he wants to sell you something.
In my case I had IO who was professional but no warmth flowing between us. It was quick. Came & pick me up. Gone through oath. had 6 questions / writing test in 3 mins. Went through the form in 7 minutes. I had one speeding ticket which I mentioned in form and I gave her ( voluntarily ) the certified copy of "everythins clear" like paid the fine , no arret, no court appreance etc.
Than she printed one form - It was FBI logo paper with my Complete name like First / Middle / last name in it. With my birth date, maried status, birth place. Asked me to verify the information is correct & sign on it. ( by the way my N-400 form mention the same name, it's not like it's different than the name she took on form ).
At this moment I started to feel my interview is on DETOUR. After signing the N-400 form for the interview appreance & on photos supplied - She handed over me the N-652 paper.
There it is - The decision can not be made verdict. My heart sank the same moment.
She told me my name check is still pending. I asked her specifically which is it - on which she says FBI namecheck. She said sometime it gets backloged and considering my interview was withing 4 months of filing date - sometime it takes time to reach the namecheck results.
She told me she is expecting the result in 3 weeks from now per her experiance of curent cases and the decision will be made. I told her that I heard the stories of Namecheck horror of 6-12 month waiting period - on which she smiles but did not give me any answer.
She told me that if I don't hear from after 3 weeks - I can write to her for follow-up. As in the 15 minutes it was over. I came out with heavy heart
After that 2-3 days I was very mad at myself ( not anybody but onmyself ) for having such a bad luck for sucjh a important issue in my life.
As I am a silent reader of this forum from last 3 months - I know the Publicus thred, 1447B or WOM option after 4 month. But still it sems for the time being pain is what i feel / expect to feel till this get resolved. I am gonna do my best not to let this takeover my life in other aspect such as family life / job etc. But words are easier than the action despite knowing all the thing the actual experience definitely makes anybody Humbled.
Now question for the Gurus -
1) My name is let's A B C ( A first , B middle, C last name ). My wife's name is V A C ( V her first, A my first as her midlle & C is same last name ).
As you see mine A B C
wife V A C
The A C ( my first & last name in her name ) is constant and her name got cleared.
Q-1 So why mine is pending ? does my middle B ( which is my father's name can make that much difference in namecheck ) ?
2) I have not read so far here in message board that even in namecheck - in interview they make u sign a new form of FBI with all your name ( which by the way is exactly same in N-400 form already given with all the same birth date details / married status etc ). Is this normal. if not what doe that mean.
Q-2 - Does it mean the IO realized that somehow my namecheck was not initiated in application process and by having this form they are going to initiate it ? while telling me that it's pending where as in reality they have not done it in the first place as in falling through the crack. - That is why the 3 weeks response time is the answer given for follow-up ?
Q-3 - Did I do anything stupid in interview ( i know you can not tell for that matter I can not tell ). But the important question is - Does the IO has discretionary power that DESPITE all the checks are clear / Civit / history pass - based on their feeling / vibe they get that can OVERRIDE the results and force to initiate a namecheck ? I mean I will consider it will be my faliure in the interview if somehow this is what it happended. ( I am hoping answer from expecrt to this question is - No, it does not happend this way - Don't take hard on yoyrself )
Thanks for letting me share my frustration with you and thanks in advance for your replies.
