I have posted the following message in the already opened thread, however, I am repeating myself:
Guys,
I was assured that I am stuck in the name check when I did infopass #1 in local imm. office in April 2007.
On May 31, 2007, I went there again to the local immigration office..
Talked to a real person, he confirmed that background check is still pending. When I said that I am going to write a congressman (which I actually did last week), I've got an interesting reaction. His body language and facial expressions became very alarmed and he started to discourage me from doing that saying that if I write a congressman, the NSC will have to transfer the file to the local office and this will delay the I-485 significantly. I told him that my I-485 is stuck since Feb. 2006 anyway and I will get at least some movement on my case. He kept telling me that I should not do it which actually made me think that I definitely have to keep bothering my congressman.
Bottom line - DO write to your congressmen/senators if you have nothing to hide. I am sure that lots of people had some (minor or major) problems with immigration that is why they stay silent American bureaucracy is afraid of people and people’s representatives in congress/senate. More voices will be raised, better they will be heard.
In addition, I asked the imm. officer if the fee increase will actually speed up the process and he said that it MIGHT but he is not sure.
That is all.
