Interview name check pending

My wife and I went for the interview today and she got stuck in this name check B.S

It happened to me for my citizenship and it took 2 years and a lawsuit to get it resolved.

Now, I see many in here getting stuck on the name check. I don't believe the officer approved the I-130, since he didn't mention anything on the interview and even after checking the online status of the I-130. Was he supposed to have it approved?

The officer said the interview was ok, but I heard that before and it really doesn't make us feel any better since we don't have the application approved.

I was surprised to find out that our interview date came so quickly from the date we applied, and I'm hoping that's the reason why the name check was not ready, but you know with this immigration agency you never know what goes on.

Does anyone know if there's an average time frame after the interview on how long it takes for the name check to be completed and application approved?

I really don't want my wife to be a victim of this long as... name check bull s...

sorry this thing really aggravates me.

thanks
 
We all sailing in the same boat.I see that your interview was really quick.Couple of members in the thread were in similar situation and they got their Name check cleared in approximately 5 months after the interview.I would say you should wait for a couple of months before getting worried.
I have set a timeline till Jan 2007.After that I will be filing the WOM.

thanks for the reply and certainly would hope that is the case.
 
tapskap,
Things are not getting better for me either. I have tried Infopass, 800#, my Congressman and two senators... I still have the same answer: Name check still pending. It will be one year in two weeks since my NC was pending (I got that both from Infopass and my senator). I am not expecting any magic emails anymore... I know this will drag on forever and it seems like WOM is the only way to go. However, it's discouraging to read some of the cases (in the suing thread) saying that some judges ruled that waiting for 2 years is a reasonable long time...

Hi, MEMME, or Anyone here who can help me.

I have H1B, married a US citizen last year. filed 130, 131, 485, 765 on Aug. 14th, 2005, interview and approved on march 23rd, 2006. since then, nothing has happened. I called NSC several times. every time, they told me they would send a request for my case status. I personally went to the USCIS office three times. first two times, they told me to wait. today, the third time, the agent told me my name check by FBI is not cleared yet and I have to wait.
It has been one year three months since I filed the case. what should I do now? wait forever? Is there anything I can do to expedite this process. I have seen people here who filed case much later than I but got approved.
Please give me some advice on what I should do next. Thanks very much.
 
We all are sailing in the same boat.
I have done a lot of research on this and the only way things will change is if you file a Writ of Mandamus against USCIS.
Consult a lawyer...I think it costs around $2000.
You shud do a FOIPA Request and also try and write to the local senator or congressman.
This will not resolve the issue but will help in building your case against USCIS.
Trust me...thats the only way to move these people....

I think...for you since more than a year has passed the time is right.
Just do ur FOIPA and senator and quickly send a notice to the USCIS thru a lawyer.I have seen in some cases even sending a legal notice have got the GC approved.

hope this helps...
 
Received the plastic Green card today. I wish everyone goodluck with the process.

Pending Name check

Hello, I am also in the same boat with the FBI name check pending.

ND: 4/26/2006
FP: 5/11/2006
Interview: 10/30/2006 (DO: Santa Ana, CA But now it will be Chicago, IL)
Nationality: indian

I just got a job in Chicago and send AR 11 for change of address on I-485.
Interviewer confirm to send my file to chicago district office.

What is next?
 
I sure hope My name check goes thru soon, My last LUD on the case was 11/01 nothing since :( The IO did say and show us the stamp that he put on our I-130 approved but nothing has been updated on the I-130 since before the interviewName check is frustrating

1. Wait

or

2. Exhaust all other means to get it resolved i.e. contacting congress(wo)man and or senator, filing case status enquiries, contacting ombudsman.

P.s. Keep a 'paper-trail" of all ur efforts.(see Florida)

3. Encourage USCIS to adjudicate ur case by filing a writ of mandamus which is the standard euphemism for "suing" 'em. This basically means they'll be forced to decide on ur case.

To do the (3), u must first do (2).

Common Name issue

Friends,

I am on the same boat where my case is pending due to FBI name check after I-485 interview. It's been more than 1 year now after I applied for the change of status ...

Just wondering any of you have a common first or last name and got cleared the FBI name check real fast (like in 3 months or 6 months or in an year)

Thanks,

H1 married to USC
 
Hi all, new member here, just wanted to add my timeline to the database. 28 months pending name check so far.

Filed at CSC, moved to Houston in March of 2006, my file just finally followed me this month.

I have contacted my congresswoman and attempted to contact the FBI email and telephone. I will now be doing a FOIPA and contacting the CIS ombudsman. I'm also starting to discuss the WOM options with an immigration attorney.
 
Indian 4, I just read your earlier reply. You said you filed AR-11 when you moved to change the address on your I485. This is not correct.

The AR-11 must be filed when you move to register your change of address. However you ALSO need to call the 800 number and ask to have the address changed on your I-485 application. In addition I would suggest making an InfoPass and filling out the form they have at the District Office to have your file transferred to your new office. I moved in March 2006 and called to change the address on my case but nothing actually happened until I had made two InfoPass appointments and asked the Houston District Office to move the file twice
 
Hey people....

With all us guys with Pending Name Check if ur RD is before 5/2006,the ony way out is filing WOM.
