So the first two steps take about a month. The third step is a manual review. The dissemination is the last step. What did they do all these years before April 2007?

I am a name check victim..My name check is pending for 2 yrs..Can you tell me the correct way to proceed?
Read this page

Prepare and file a complaint with the federal court in your district.
Dear all:
My name check for naturalization is pending for almost a year. I know that it is probably too early to do anything, but I am really pressed by family matters. So I am thinking about going legal ways. Probably somebody could recommend me an attoney in Houston? Also, it seems to me I red somewhere that judges in Houston are not very pro-immigrants' inclined in those cases, and there were some rejections - or am I wrong?
Thanks

May be it is because of me ?!
1 month back i had written to 6 major figures in US politics. The main theme of the letter was "national security at risk because of delays in FBI namechecks" and speedy namecheck enhances national security etc. As second point i put 'sufferings' of the immigrants because of the lengthy name checks.

Too many defendants?
I am going to file an AOS-based WOM in my own district (Western District of Virginia; I know that it is not a friendly one but it is more convenient for me as it is local). In my current complaint I list the following defendants:
Michael Chertoff
Emilio Gonzales, Director
Evelyn Upchurch, TSC Director
Peter D. Keisler, Acting Attorney General
Robert S. Mueller, III
Do I have to include all of them? Can I cross out one or two?
Thank you.

Thank you for the reply.
My draft complaint has more than 70 pages (including exhibits). I was thinking about removing those unnecessary defendants to save some postage.
I will keep all of them.

Any lawyer will charge you 4-5k for this and I see very little benefit in using an attorney, except maybe saving some time. So do not be afraid, do it yourself. The lawsuit make the USCIS move. It does not matter who files a lawsuit. Use the template posted here.

You are welcome.
That's the right decision. You only need to serve them once so there is no point in saving 30-40 bucks considering possible negatives.

Postal addresses for these defendants
I would like to make sure that I use the correct postal addresses in sending out my complaint to the following defendants. Is there a single point of place for me double check their postal addresses?
Thank you.
