Name check timeline
Hello all,
Are there a lot of us out there who have/had to wait for name check clearance after passing the interview? What are the timelines (after interview)?
We did our interview last month but my GC approval is pending name check (finger print check cleared). The officer couldn't give us a time. he seemed to expect it to drag on for months.
I would like to learn more about this part of the process.
Is it pretty much out of the hand of USCIS? If it drags on, what are my options? Now is the name check "localized" to the FBI branch near my DO?
Thanks in advance for any information provided. Y'all have a good day!
cwtt.
