I tried that option, did not work. I sent the FOIPA response and, email from FBI to request expedite processing and, it was denied.
I spoke with the vsc rep. yesterday they said about the manifest file, but that process will be awfully slowly, as it goes manually. For sure, they are keeping track of the expedite requests and, call's to the vsc.
I'm not sure, how often they will send that manifest file to USCIS Head Quarter and, how long they will take to forward that to FBI, and, how long FBI will take to respond to USCIS Head Quarters &, how long it will take to send them to VSC. So, it seeming to be a long wait.
I wrote to Ombudsman and, I contacted local congressman, but because it's security check, I'm not expecting much help from them either.
Sorry! to disappoint. But the good news is atleast VSC is acknowlding that it's a mistake and, unfortunately they are not taking responsibility to correct that in a fast manner.
chandler said:How do you guys fill FOIPA request for FBI? Do you just follow Mr. Rahul Kumar's post? I checked FBI web site. It has a FOIA request form and Privacy waiver form. Do I need to fill out these two forms? In the FOIA request form, it ask for "assess fee" and "Explanation for a request for a waiver of fees".I am really lost there.
Please let me know what you guys did to do the FOIPA inquiry from FBI.
My 485 RD is April 10, 2003. I know many people whose RD are earlier than mine are still waitting. Still, It's really difficult for me to keep sanity to deal with USCIS and FBI, the two most notorious bureau, at the same time.
Many thanks,
Chandler

rhinohere said:I am taking help of my local congressman office. I received FBI name check and it says that they never received request from USCIS. When the congressman office enquired about my case they got a reply stating "..case is currently going through the name/dob security checks (which is not just FBI, but all governmental agencies)--the applicant should be hearing from this office in approx 60 days."
I dont understand what all other govt agencies are involved in this ?

needhelp1 said:Yes. Thats probably right as I called FBI last friday and came to know that my name check was requested on Feb 9th and got cleared on the same day. Actually I have requested them to send an email to me as proof and I am still waiting for the email and hopefully I will get a response from them in next week.
I was also told that they are working the emails received on Oct last week of 2004. I called the direct number of Mr.David Hardy's Office which I got from Rahul Kumar Name Check PDF Document.
