FBI Name Check

Feb2005 said:
I've a question. Sorry...but I actually noticed people get their Card production email/update first and then welcome or approval.

However, I got the welcome letter first. Now, I'm wondering what's going on?

Does it sound okay? (seems like this thing will never end-namely worries!!) I'm just worried why my one is backward?

Thanks!

Feb2005,

My father's case is with CSC too. Could you let me know how you talked to csc people? Is it the same 1-800 number?

Can't remember the menu at top of my head right now, but once I call 1-800 # then I choose the option that says if you have recently got an RFE and you don't understand whatever doc we asked (something to this effect) please press whtever#. And then based on my case # it says- your case is in Cali Svc Center, and you will be connected to a rep there. That's how I once ended up there and since then I always choose that option.

I will call tomorrow, and will be able to give you exact details on how to reach them. Sorry couldn't answer you earlier.
 
I just got the "card production ordered email" how long does it take from that to receiving that card.
Thank you. This forum has been very helpful.

Thanks, Feb2005. I will try it next time.
 
My father's application was submitted in 9/2007. He is still stuck in name check. Called USCIS last week, and was told it is still within normal processing time, and was asked to wait for another couple of months. Have any recent filers got any updates?
 
JSB congrats

Stuck in FBI Name Check - through Marriage

i got form the USCIS on the 12 September a letter that my case is not ready for a decision , as the requierd investigation into your background remains open.
Question:

I-485, Application to Register Permanent Residence or Adjust Status;
For these forms, including applications for lawful permanent residence, USCIS will adjudicate the application based on all required evidence outlined in applicable law and regulation if the application is otherwise approvable, outside of normal processing times, and the FBI name check request has been pending for more than 180 days.
the shlould approve my case.

I spoke today with IO and he told me they have to proof if my case eligible.

That looks like i have to wait wait wait.
Is anybody out there they have the same problems.
My understanding is - if the case more than 180 Day delay on backround check they USCIS shall approve the case.
 
Hello everyone, I just have a randome question and am hoping someone will have an answer for me :)

I recently got my GC and was wondering do I need a visa to visit Canada? I plan to go to Ontario for couple days but I didn't know if I needed a visa or not?
Thanks

Can I study while pending name check

Hello, eveyone, I am in the same boat as many of you here, marriage-based GC application. filed I-130 - approved. Filed I-485 on 9/06, interviewed on 1/07 and officer told me all okay except for penind name check. Retook my fingerprint 3/08. And I haven't got any word afterwords. I have my EAD card now and working. But I am thinking about going to school in the fall, am I legally allowed to do that in my current situation?

THANK YOU SOOOO MUCH FOR EVERYONE HERE!!!!

went on Infopass today , the officer told me she is going to forward my case info to the supervisor to the immigration officer who has my case...

another thing is the congressman office also looking in to my case.
 
You dont need a visa. Just your passport and GC. If you go to the canadian visitor visa application, the application on the last page specifies that you do not need to apply for a visa if you have a US GC.

Help! Can I Leagally study while pending name check????

I am also a marriage-based GC application. filed I-130 - approved. Filed I-485 on 9/06, interviewed on 1/07 and officer told me all okay except for pending name check. Retook my fingerprint 3/08. And I haven't got any word afterwords.

I have my EAD card now and working. But I am thinking about going to school in the fall, am I legally allowed to do that in my current situation?

THANK YOU SOOOO MUCH FOR LOOKING!
 
YES you can

you can definitely study. you have legal status. BUT it depends on the school to decide whether you qualify for resident tuition or non-resident tuition.

Most likely they will, but it depends.

My gut says you will get a GC soon but ensure that you have a valid EAD - keep renewing it.
