Hello everyone,
I don’t know if you guys remember me, I’m one of the unfortunate ones who got into this name check hell. I’ve been reading this threat quietly for few months now, I was here when this thread was created and I’ve been following every single post.
I decided in May to hold on filling a lawsuit till it’s two years since I applied for CZ (July 2004). Meanwhile I thought of trying some alternatives to solve this issue, here is a brief description for those interested:
1- In May, I sent another N400. I thought, knowing how their system is, maybe this time I’ll pass or at least they’ll schedule an interview for me, but it did not work. I paid another $400 and got fingerprinted a month later, but then it seems as if I got stuck in the Name check again because they never scheduled my interview. May was around the time when the new rule took place (name check have to be cleared before interview). So my advice for those thinking of applying a second time: don’t bother. I remember Suzy applied twice and didn’t work for her, she also mentioned 2 other ppl (sister and brother) who did the same. It worked for the sister only. Also someone lately filed a lawsuit for her mom (IreneB I think); her mom had at one point filed 2 N400s. she only got naturalized after lawsuit.
2- Contacted 2 FBI agents thru friends. One was saying that the immigration were not responding to his requests. I don’t know why he would want a response from them while the problem is with the FBI (I got a letter from FBI thru congressman saying that they my name check is still in process), I think this guy couldn’t do much so he blamed it on the immigration. The second FBI agent said he’ll only tell me about the status of my case if he can get to it, he still didn’t a respond from him.
3- Sent a letter to President Bush thru my mom’s Church. That was a month and a half ago, still haven’t heard from them.
4- Contacted my congressman with same response: name check pending. Also contacted Newark INS on phone, the lady saw that I have 2 files but she couldn’t check any further.
After all of this, I think the only way to go is filling a lawsuit. I had something prepared back in April, I’m going to add all the new info I have and then file asap. I’m planning to become a citizen by the end of the year. I’m sick and tired of waiting.
Now I don’t know if my second N400 could affect my rights to file under 1447. I know IreneB did but in her case her mom got interviewed twice while I got interviewed once. What do you guys think? I’m gonna ask IreneB to send me a copy of her mom’s suit.
Also back in April, a guy called sfaizullah had filed a lawsuit under 1447 in NJ but I haven’t heard from him since then do you guys know anything about what happened to his case?
Thank you all for your help here. This forum has been a savior for many unfortunate ppl. Keep up the good work.
