Still Waiting, does anyone have a similar timeline? I went out of the country 3 times this year for about a week each time. Upon my return, the first 2 times I was taken to a separate room by IO as I was told that my name macthes some one on the terrorist list, so the supervior will have to OK me. Both times the supervisor came down, asked few questions and cleared me. I must say they were very professional, nice and apologetic both times. The third time they cleared me on the spot and they didn't have to call the supervisor. Perhaps they were busy, since many international flights landed almost at the same time.
I believe this is the only reason that I'm stuck in name check, now if the Immigration can allow me to enter the country after verification then why is FBI taking so long? Perhaps they haven't even started the "name check" process. Hopefully, the N400 price hike will improve the process.
