FBI Name Check

FINALLY - Got physical GC, San Jose Office after 3.5 years

married to USC in Nov 03. Interviewed April '04. Stuck on name check for 3 years. Visited the USCIS office literally 6 times. Applied for Advanced Parole, EAD 3 times in the interim.

Re-interviewed in 4/10/2007
GC by mail: 5/9/07

Now I guess I have to wait another 3 years until I can apply for Citizenship.

Did you try any of the measures: write to first lady, write to ombudsman, intent to sue letter to DO, etc...?

I see that except siri80 all the people whose Name Checks are cleared (After being stuck in the Name Check) have their ND in 2004/2005.It looks like it takes 2-3 years on an average for FBI to clear the cases stuck in Name Checks...:-(........GOD BLESS ALL OUR SOULS STUCK IN NAME CHECK......
 
is any new table that collect all name check case besides the one in 1st page

I found the table list in 1st page of this 'name-check' colume has never been updated. It is usulful, giving us an idea how long to wait when we get name check stuck . any new updated table, show some case in 2007 ?


thanks
 
Hello,

What is FBI Ombudsman and FBI Outreach specialist? How we obtain their mailing address and whose attention the letter must be mailed. I am also stuck in NC for last 15+ months and want to start writing to FBI.
 
wiating for Name Check- 8 months and counting!!

Filed for I-485 (adj of status from F1 student visa to Green Card) in May 2006
Fingerprints in April 2006
Interview in September 2006

I filed my I-485 and my interview was in Norfolk, Virginia. Since I moved to Chicago, Illinois in January 2007, I have requested for my file to be transferred to the local office. I did this when I went to see the officer at the Chicago's District Office in March 2007.

Since my interview I have been waiting for FBI to complete my name check. I called USCIS, even made an info pass appointment and talked to the immigration officer, the only response I get from USCIS is that FBI is still doing my name check.

I am getting conflicting suggestions. Should I contact my congressman to expedite the process?
Can anybody suggest me on what proactive action should I take?
Thank you for reading.

My Timeline:
I130 – January 2002, by my mother, who was then a perm resident and now a Citizen
I130 – Approved in April 2006
I485 – Filed in May 2006
FingerPrints – June 2006
Interview – September 2006
Waiting for Name Check to be completed!!!!
 
10/11/2006 GC interview - officer said that he is ready to approve, but without NC results we have to wait.
05/14/2007 Got Infopass to local office - they said NC pending
05/17/2007 Send an email to FBI - my husband is USC and a veteran, stated that delay in processing is causing tremendous financial burden for my family.

HAve no idea if they will ever respond...
Any suggestions?
 
Guys,
How many CHECKS total? I came to the Santa Ana DO today and found out:
_ Fingerprint check: cleared
_ Namecheck: cleared (4/17/07)
_ Another check is still pending

I asked the officer what it was, she said she didn't know ??? She told me that there usually 3 or 4 checks for each application ????

Thanks.

$8M for NC clearance.

Latest bill in Congress (war appropriation and emergency Spending) allocates $8million to remove the NC clearance issues

See - http://appropriations.house.gov/pdf/summary.pdf

U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS)
$8 million to address the security background check backlog that exists between USCIS and FBI on background checks for immigrants filing for benefits.

This should help folks stuck in the backlog if it passes.
