FBI Name Check

our IO said, Name check typically gets cleared in a month. I will probably wait untill Oct 6th then schedule a info pass to check the status. Will file FOIPA if I don't see the GC approval in a month. Please keep us in your prayer.
 
Waiting on name check - San Jose

Hi

Married to a USC.
Applied for adjustment of status 12/2003.
Fingerprinting 2/2004
Interview 3/2004 - approved awaiting FBI name check results
Again fingerprinting 2/2006
Still waiting.

I am sending the San Jose congresswoman a letter to check with FBI. I have visited the USCIS office and they told me that they make the FBI request only once a year. Any ideas???

Thanks!
 
Waiting for name check in SanFran

Similar to you anil24.

Been in namecheck for a while now. Does anyone know when the FBI namecheck is initiated ?
Was told that the namecheck is the reason why I-485 is not approved after our interview on 12/2005. Had an infopass appt 07/2005 and the lady said the namecheck may be complete in 2 weeks but go ahead and renew I-765 and I-131. No news after that.
I guess i need to thank my parents for giving me the most generic american name they could think of.. lol.. there must be a lot of criminals in the US with my name..
I guess writ of mandamus will be my only option..
 
Course of action

Hey pissedoffmathew,

Sorry to hear that you are also facing the same issue. I have just sent mails to my senator and FBI for namecheck enquiries. If I dont receive anything positive, then maybe it is time to file WOM.

In the meantime, how do you check your app status? I dont have a WAN, SRC or LIN number as I filed with the local San Jose office. Is there a way I can check my status - I only have an A#.

Thanks
 
Is it plastic?

Got another mail today stating that 485 was approved and has been mailed. But it was approved already sometime ago. I hope they are mailing the plastic.
 
Miamilover, are you talking about the 485 welcome letter or did you get another email? I'm waiting for my card too!
 
Hey Anil
I applied to the Chicago lock box and i got receipt letters with an MSCxxxxxxxx # on the top. I created an account with USCIS.gov and added these Receipt numbers to the portfolio to track any progress but no use cuz there is no progress.
Since you applied in 2004, i am not sure how they track it. You must have got an Application receipt number to track it.
 
Has anyone got good news yet?

:) , everyone
Has anyone got good news yet? I am in the same boat. Still waiting.
I had my interivew almost 4 months ago. I had a couple of LUDs in July and August, but no news yet.
It is a very frustrating process, but let us hang on here and be positive.
Good luck to everyone and we need it.
 
485 - Fingerprint expiring

Hi All,

I'm also in the same boat of the "name check" pending. My AOS interview was complete in March'06 and the officer mentioned about the name check being pending.

Haven't heard from USCIS since then (no LUDs either).

I wanted to know that my 485 fingerprints will expire in 15 days....Do I need to follow up with USCIS (800 number) to get the fingerprints appointment ....or they will by themselves send the new fingerprint appointment ??? Has anybody been through this ??

Thanks in advance !

H1-B married to USC
130,485,765,131 filed - June'05
AOS Interview - March'06
I-130 Approved (while interview)
I-485 - Name check pending
 
Hey friends...

I have my name check pending since last 8 months and its getting increasingly frustrating.
I cannot change my job and use my EAD because I dont want to lose my H1...in case my GC for some reason is denied.I have been writing emails to the immigration officer and all he says is..."sorry its still pending"....
So I just wanted to share the frustration....shud i file the wom or is it too early....

Just wanted to share the frustration...

Thanks,

you don't need to do anything for the fingerprints. USCIS will send you a notice when they need your fingerprints re-done. so if you get a notice from them for fingerprints, that's good news since that means they are processing your case (finally).
 
So I went to another Infopass two months after the previous one. I was told the same thing again that my case was still pending FBI name checks. The officer seemed nice and I was finally able to find out when the name checks were initiated. My name check request was sent to the FBI last November and it would be one year by the end of next month. I wonder why it has been taking them almost a year to complete checking my name. It seems like a very thorough process. The officer suggested that I schedule another Infopass in Dec. after the one year mark. She was trying to comfort me by saying that my case might be approved tomorrow, but she added maybe in two years...
 
GC approved!!!

I received my GC approval letter yesterday! Yippee!!!

The notice date (approval date?) was Oct 4, 2006. That makes it almost 5 months after the interview date (when we were told the only thing pending was the name check).

I was told by the DO officers that it might take 2 years, so I guess 5 months is good.

Please update my info.

Those of you who are still waiting for name check clearance, hang in there and keep your hopes up. Good luck!

Name check

do they do name check when you apply for I-130? My I-130 is already approved so i am just wondering whether they would do name check again in the process of I-485 or not.

My i-130 is approved on 10/05/2006 and i applied I-485 on 09/14/2006. Sincer there is only one month difference so just wondering about the process of name check.
 
No.Name check has nothing to do with I 130.My I 130 was approved on the day of my interview.
I 130 is used establish the relationship to certain alien relatives who wish to immigrate to the United States.
 
hey guys -

sorry again for being inactive breifly. I have gone thru all the posts in the link and updated the info.
 
Many updates in the last two days for NC pending case

Hi all,

I had my interview on 8/8/06 and the officer said that he approved it(?) but pending name check. So the status now is i-130 and i-485 is pending; i-131 and i-765 approved. I asked the officer during the info pass that why i-130 has not been approved that she asked that once they approve i-485 after name check cleared, they will approve both i-130 and i-485 together. From what I read on this forum, it seems that for name check pending case, it only pends i-485 but approve i-130 first. Could someone confirm this and shed some lights?

Secondly, i have had LUDs on 8/11, 8/17, 9/07, 10/7 and 10/9. It's lot of updates. Any ideas what this could be. What make me curious is that they are still updating my i-131 and i-765 which has been approved back in July. What are they doing?

Appreciate if you share your thoughts.

thanks, dqdq.

Hi
I have I-485 pending name check
RD NOV 13/05
ND NOV 21/05
INTerview March 06

Interesting thing is thatI have no LUD change since day of my fingerprint.
I receeived EAD in july but On USCIS website it had shown 2 LUD changes on
10/5/06 and 10/09/06
Why would there be an LUD change on a case which was already approve 3 months ago?
