When I started off with my name check queries, it took about 1-2 weeks for them to get back to me. when I was done, it was about 1 month. My god its 3 months now. If they take 3 months to key in your name into a computer to see if a check is done or not then imagine..........
Could someone please triple the department's budget!!

Please download this form and file a FOIPA request. FOIPA is nothing more than a check to see if the FBI has any file on you or not (not necessarily adverse). If they do have a file then it takes time for them to summon the file and analyze it so they can clear/hold your name check.
FOIPA will give you a useful indicator as to why your name check is delayed. It's just a start.
Who did you write to in the fbi? Mere writing won't help. Do visit your congressman (preferably after you get foia results) and explain your urgency. remember, u may be the MOST deserving person but if you can impress upon the congressman/fbi that you are such its of no use. so take max effort to present ur case also

Folks:
I am also a Name Check Victim like others on this particular forum. I had my Naturalization Interview on March 11, 2004, passed it and got that stereotyped letter informing me of additional security checks and making me realize that I got netted in this Name Check Clearance trap.
The reason was pretty obvious; a fairly common Muslim first name and an extremely common Muslim surname.
I was wondering if any of you guys has come across a case where the Name Check Victim got the Oath letter without pulling any strings or making extra efforts like, Name Check Inquiry from FBI, FOIPA or help from the Congressman etc.
My intention for asking this is not to discourage anyone from making extra efforts but to find out the normal processing time for this Name Check Clearance.

Yes there are people that take no action. It takes a very long time. Currently the FBI takes 3 months just to tell u if ur check was completed or not. Then imagine how long it will take to clear a pending name check and then make your DO aware of this to fix a date!
I know that there are people in the queue (not N400 though) waiting for name check clearance from the the year ------- 2000!!
Status Disruption During the Wait for Oath
First of all thanks to Rahul for a prompt reply.
Could someone shed some light on the scenario where someone violates the Physical Presence Requirement (stays more than 30 months out of USA during last five years) or the Continuous Residence Requirement (stays more than continuous six months out of USA) during eternal wait for the Oath after passing the Naturalization Interview.
The reason I am asking this is because I am getting married in my native country in the near future, since I won’t be able to bring my spouse in a short period of time to USA as very long processing time is involved for Permanent Residents, so I have decided to stay in my native country after getting married.
Luck is not really on my side since I have been outside of USA on extended trips during the last five years and disruption in the status is highly likely the way things look as people have been waiting for as far as year 2000 to get this Name Check taken care of.
Any comments or suggestions on my situation are welcome

Swani,
Use the info on this forum to try to expedite your namecheck. It would be very unfortunate for you to break your PP or CR requirements AFTER you have had your interview. Don't do it.
Try to expedite your namecheck, don't stay over 6 months out and keep and eye on the mailbox for your oath letter.
When did you apply for Natz ? What's your timeline/district?

Hey welcome to the oath waiting forumSwani said:
My case just like yours. I have a common muslim name(last name). My details are as follows:
PD Jan., 2003
FP April, 2003
Interview July, 2003
Name check clear 11th Feb., 2004 (took an year)
Oath????????????
Finally after sending several letters to different senators (both Federal & state) took the extreme step of filing a 'motion to calendar' a suit through my lawyer (in the bay area). The earliest date I get is in November so lets see what happens.

Several Checks or One Check
Hey guys,
Do you know if USCIS do several different security checks or only FP/Name check on N400s
What I mean is if even the Name/backround checks came back from FBI but may be other checks still pending..
Any idea Rahul ...
Thanks

Looks like they dont want us to know due to security reasons. I was told by officer there are diff type of checks, more than name and IBIS check. so we dont know. but if u think what could be more than IBIS, FBI name check and CIA G325 check. and also fingerprint check. now what kinda other checks could be??? i dont know.
Thank you for replying to my post you really helped me a lot with your post, I didn’t knew Rahul had replied until I seen yours, so I checked all his posts and it was there, I hope we all get are names cleared as soon as possible. Thanks againshaky said:

I have been doing a lot of researches on security check, and so far I’ve only seen name check, but you have to know that there is two things that your name could come up as,#1 you would have NO RECORD, #2 it will come up as HIT, if your name come up as a hit in the system the FBI will do a full check on you, what I mean by that is they will check to see how many times you got speeding tickets and how many times you went to court and so on, so basically they will get into the details of your background, so if your name get cleared, you are all set for the oath, I hope I get to see my oath it sure looks like that day will not come any time soonphiladelphian said:
