Created second inquiry with 800#
Since it has been exactly 30 days since I made my first inquiry with USCIS 800#, I called them back again and created a second inquiry.
The customer service rep was surprised that I had not heard from anyone yet, and she said that CSC may be overloaded!
Such a pathetic state of affairs.

I'm not sure if I was ever stuck in name check (my guess is probably not). However, I was stuck in not even getting a FP notice for a very long time. I filed 485 in August 2005 and got FP for May 26, 2006 and that too only after initiating an inquiry through phone in early May (or atleast I think my inquiry was what initiated them to send FP notice). I had a LUD the same day my FP was done. A week after FP was done, I sent an email to CSC asking for status of name check, and got a resposne in 1st week of June (1 week after sending mail) saying that all security checks were cleared and that my case will be processed within 60 days. I got the approval mail 2 weeks after getting the response from CSC. There were no LUDs after the day of my FP and my approval.
Hope that helps. All the best!

This is a fucking scam man. Some very sick people are slaughtering us and having a laugh too. And now, within the next 20 days as soon as the visa bulletin comes out, we are going to run out of visas till the end of the year.

Cool it fella, I know you are frustrated but think positive. Would you rather have some terrorist getting a green card, they gotta do what they have to do. My Priority date is 2000, so u know I have more rights to get frustrated)
Atleast you got EAD, I have about 15 colleagues whose labor is not approved yet (they applied in 2002).
Go to google and search "sad stories" on internet and then feel good that you are in a far better situation than most people in this world.
I hope my note doesn't piss you off even further, I know there is a chance and I just wanted to give it a shot.
Remember the quote from Shawshank Redemption: "Hope is a good thing, the best of all things".

Congratulations
Congratulations sn2004!
Quick questions for you:
What is the best way to find out if I'm stuck in Security Name Check or not?
Should I initiate an inquiry through the 800 number? Or send an email to TSC? Where can I find TSC email address?
Any specific wording should be used in the email to get a reply?
My case was transferred from CSC to TSC during March 2006, and my I-140 was just approved 2 weeks ago. I had LUD on my 485 on 05/22/2006 so I guess I cannot call the 800 number as it has been less than 60 says since LUD right?
Should I just wait, or try and get more info about this Name Check process?
Thanks much for you help.
Rambi.

ronnin, you think a terrorist will apply for green card through employee based category. In this mess, it's easier to be illegal than legal...ronniin said:Qwerty man

Name Check : Update
Hi,
I've not been able to visit the forum regularly. Anyways, 1.5 weeks back i heard written confirmation from both my congressman as well as senator boxer that my case is pending name check from Aug 26th 2005. I was frustrated to see the letter and last monday i opened up an inquiry with USCIS who of course said that they'll get back within 30 days or otherwise call.
Now I got a letter today from the congressman's office saying that FBI has confirmed that my name check is completed and has been forwared to USCIS on 21st June 2006.
I checked my online status and it has not changed yet. Hopefully, the approval comes soon. Keeping my fingers crossed.

Oh Boy. What a news. So it took almost 12 weeks since you contacted boxer, feinstein and trombo.
Thanks for posting this info. I am kicking myself why I didnot contact my senators and congressman earlier.

How is it coming along gents? Really sorry to see people stuck in the queue again. This seems like a never ending cyclic process which occurs every few years. Backlogs increase till they break the camel's back and the poor legal immigrants finally band together to fight the system. They make inroads, receive promises that the broken system will be fixed, for a short time, processing speeds up and then it is back to square one.
I hope and pray all you people sitting in the back logged queues see some light at the end of the tunnel soon.
Regards from an ole timer.

Got a call from the Senator's office
I got a call from a lady who has been assigned my issue at the Senator's office. She said that she will be sending the inquiry today, and nowadays, it has been taking 6 to 8 weeks to get a response from the FBI. She did say that the number of inquiries has increased of late, not only at the Senator's office, but also from other sources like Congressperson's office.
Bottomline, the FBI is overwhelmed with inquiries, so not sure when I'll hear from them.
But hey, on the positive side, at least someone is talking to the right agency for me!

From my understanding (I have not run it personally):
Its a program that generates WAC #s and sends requests to the uscis webpage to get status. Then it strips the html off the response and presents just the 2-3 sentences that contain the status.
Some folks just have way too much time on their hands and just too much patience (all very GOOD things, if I may add).

Interesting - if the program is in public domain, please post the information to access it so that I can run it too
Though with the way USCIS/FBI work, there is absolutely no correlation, so it may not be that useful.

By all means, run it.
Lets suppose you run it and see that x % of the folks who applied in the 7 day neighbourhood around your RD is approved and y % are in various stages of processing.
Its most likely that x = 90. What will you conclude ? Its not like you dont know that we are the most unfortunate souls who a miniscule minority and who are stuck in name check.
