Definitions of Name check and Record check in old SOP of 485
Some one else has post a link to the old 485 SOP in this forum before
www.ilw.com/lawyers/seminars/august2002_citation2b.pdf
I checked the section about Finger printing and Name check. Seems name check is not related to finger printing though they are both done in FBI. More than likely name check is issued at the same time the 485 receipt is issued.
This SOP was published in 2001, a lot of procedures may have changed. But the basic concepts should remain similar.
FBI Name Check
A name check with Division 4 of the FBI is initiated electronically by the
CLAIMS 3 receipt of the I-485. If no response is received within 60 days
after the C3 entry is made, the CAO may proceed with the I-485 adjudication.
Positive responses are sent to the local Law Enforcement Support Center who
will send the relating material within 48 hours of receipt or contact to the
Service Center POC holding the I-485 to ensure that adjudication of the I-485
is withheld until the third agency material is obtained and reviewed.
FBI Records Check
Fingerprints are a requirement for every applicant age 14 through 79 years old
to determine if they have a criminal history. The INS will send the applicant
a notice to appear for fingerprinting at an Application Support Center (ASC)
located within the jurisdiction of their residence.
FBI Fingerprint Response
At the time of adjudication, the file will contain a screen print of either FBI
Query or the CLAIMS-based MRD Fingerprint Tracking System to indicate
the present status of the fingerprint checks. Fingerprints may be requested
prior to relocation according to local policy. The response is valid for 15
months from the date the FBI processed the fingerprints.
A definitive response from the FBI regarding fingerprint clearances is
required before the application can be approved or transferred to the local
office for interview. The chart below will assist you in determining how the
case should be handled based on the response received from the FBI.
