I just called FBI and the lady was very sweet and nice. She asked for my A# and said that my fingerprints were checked and results were sent back to INS.

Phone num: 304-6255-5590

If calling, please be very courteous and don't ask too many questions.

Earlier I called : 202 324 2399, and they said they are no longer entertaining name check/fingerprint request over the phone.

Question: Are they the same? name check/fingerprint/background check??

yes. name check is for criminal background check, for which you have to email fbi to inquire status. FP is also required in addition to Name Check. to inquire name check, search the forum for the details. It takes 3 months for them to reply! But they do reply.

That's just FP .... NOT namecheck (which is where most people get stuck)

AFAIK, there is no number to call and check on name check status -- just email (which takes >4 months to get a response)
 
Emailed FBI for Name check

Thanks guys!

I just emailed fbinncp@ic.fbi.gov and requested a name check.

As instructed, I provided the following:

Name:
DOB:
A#:
Email:

I will wait 3 months for the reply :) Hope it doesnt go in my junk folder and accidentally deleted.

I wonder if it helps that my name check has been done when I applied for my H-1B visa in 2001 in my home country (Malaysia). They took 21 business days and did a thorough background check then.
