FBI Delays To End
Immigration Daily has learned that the FBI name check delays that have stalled benefit applications may soon be a thing of the past. We understand that the Executive branch will soon provide name check clearances within a prescribed amount of time. If the clearance is not completed within the designated timeframe, the benefit will be approved by USCIS while the FBI continues to work on the security process in parallel. The rationale to move to this new process is not just better customer service for benefits applicants but also because it will enhance national security (our security demands that the bad guys be apprehended, not merely be denied immigration benefits). The background for this change of heart by the Executive branch is the fact that many federal courts have been coming down hard on excessive name check delays by the FBI. In fact, not only have some courts ordered expedited name check completions but in some cases courts have suggested that the courts have and would use their authority to adjudicate petitions if the Executive branch could not get its act together. The attorneys and litigants who have sought federal court relief over these last several years deserve credit for forcing the Executive branch to adopt a more effective policy in this area (when it does happen, hopefully very soon). Stay tuned.

this indeed is good news
may be because of this for the past two weeks there have been so many clearance of the name checks

Not to rain on anyone's parade but so far looks like an unjustified media speculation to me...
Got my passport stamped
Since I'm leaving to visit my family tomorrow, I made an Infopass appt today, to see if they'll stamp my passport (since my namecheck has cleared, and my I-485 and I-130 have been approved). They took my AP and EAD, and then stamped my passport and the stamp is valid until Jan 30th, 2008, by which time I should receive my Green Card in the mail.
If FBI truly is expediting namechecks now, it is really fantastic. I hope they get the backlog worked down quickly! I hope you all get your namechecks cleared before Christmas - it'll be such a lovely present, and make for a great holiday season.

Congratulations on getting the stamp
Have a great trip and we're also hoping that we all get cleared and become LPR by Christmas. Thank you for your good wishes. mamtashok, if this is of any help, I received my I-130 approval notice shortly after the interview without getting any LUDs online. Even now, the online status for my I-130 application says," Case received and pending...". It's clear the USCIS isn't making online status updates their priority.
Congratulations, I see from your other post that you got approved. Too bad about the EAD filing fee, but oh well... you've got LPR status now that's what that matters
Good luck.franticsky

A-a-a, I see now, will keep fingers crossed for you. And, again, your situation looks like yet another confirmation that LUDs are extremely unreliable....
As for me, I am going to do my FP for EAD renewal afternoon, even though online status already says "Card production ordered"...
