FBI Name Check

it been almost 7 months since my interview. Just a curious question about when the namecheck is initiated? After fingerprints or interview?
 
Name Check Limbo

Hello,
I have a strong feeling that the name check is delayed for people who did not apply for EAD and or Advance Parole while applying for 485.
Maybe they just want the extra money.
Anyone agrees?
Thanks,
Andy
 
stuck in name check too

time line
ND: Oct/05
Interview: Apr/06
I-130 approved: Apr/06 after interview

Infopass: 09/22/06 The officer told me they need request some file from LA. She didn't even know what file it is. But she told me FP check was cleared, name check was done.

10/24/06: today I called National center, sb told me my name check and background check is not done!!! I'm so confused.:mad: :mad: :mad:

I didn't file my I-765 until a few months later after we filed the I-485, 130, 131.
 
Maybe thats true.I dint apply for my Advance Parole.But I fail to understand how could it possibly affect the Name Check.
 
========From one of my thread====================

hello people....

My interview was on 29th June 2006.The immigration officer told me at the time of the interview,that my Name Check request was sent on Feb 28 2006.I am constantly in touch with this officer via email and now he has asked me 'if I want to resubmit my Name Check'.
He tells me that in some cases it helps.
Should I go ahead and ask him to resubmit my case to the FBI?

Anyone else who has done that?
Would it mess up my case and cause further delays?


Thanks,

I also have heard that resubmiting can help sometimes. The reason is, USCIS send the names electronically. Sometimes the packet may get lost on its way and so your name never reach to the FBI. So USCIS waits for nothing during this time. The other possibility is some times there is typo in submiting your name and/or Birth date. Resubmiting will correct that problem.
I was told by an officer that they resubmit the name every year if the name is not cleared.
I don't think applying for EAD and/or AP has anything to do with NC.

Then how would you explain the fact that people who apply for citizenship, also get stuck in name check process? :confused:

ncgc2006,
Namecheck is usually initiated very early on. In my case, it was initiated one week after my files were received and well before finterprints. However, I think the process for DORA is different though. It has always been six months since my interview and almost a year after my namecheck was initiated. You may find out when your nc was initiated through an infopass.

I applied for both EAD and AP, but I am still waiting on my namecheck six months after interview.

Hi amishah...

it has been 8 months since my Name Check was initiated.I have no hope left and so I requested my immigration officer to resubmit the request again and he has already done that.

Hope it works....dont understand....why us?...we see so many people applyin in May/June this year and getting their GC approved by now....

Its ridiculous....The name check shud be more structured so that genuine cases like us dont suffer....

  • Dont worry about the Online status.It is rarely accurate.
    If you are on 'stamped' H1 you can travel on your H1 itself.You dont have to use your advance parole.If you have an extended I94,ie your stamped H1 has expired but you have an extended I94 ,I would say you should get your visas stamped and as far as possible not use the Advance parole because then your H1 will get voided and in case your case is rejected you will be out of status.
    To answer your Question,yes you can travel using ur advance parole...but its not recommended...as far as possible try to keep your H1 valid until you get ur GC.

    Hope this helps...

I think the only way to find your name check status is to schedule an infopass and ask the Immigration Officer when your namecheck was initiated and whether there have been any recent activities. I think being invited to a 2nd fingerprint might be a good sign as it might mean that someone is actually working on your case. Is the FP for code3 (I485) or for code2 (e.g., you have recently applied for EAD)? Code3 might be a good sign.
 
Timeline

So people who are stuck with their name check have already wasted 1 or 2 yrs of their conditional resident status. Does this wasted time period count towards the removing the conditional status?
I was told that after my conditional is approved, then my 2 yr period starts and before the end of the 2 yr period you have to file to remove the conditional status. Is that correct?
 
Is there any correlation between country of origin and being stuck in namecheck?

How about religion and being stuck in namecheck....By religion I mean (Islamic-sounding names)

Thanks...

P.S:I'm dreading namecheck...although my last name is English, I googled and found out someone with my last name's been abducted/kidnapped/murdered(although it's a female), she's on the missing persons alert...much publicized case...Larry King and all...I'm sitting there, staring at the screen thinking "f-u-c-k!"

Anybody knows how this thing works?...Do they just go by last names or first last names and date of birth combinations?
