i also got an email from USCIS during the week stating that they plan to approve all pending name checks over 180 days by mid-March..it says to wait until then before you make an INFOPASS appointment. "
Great news! Congratulations. My case is also with NSC transferred from TSC.
Did USCIS send you an email explaining their new name check policy? Was that in response to an inquiry that you sent them? If you don't mind can you please share the email with us?
Usually they will just send the approval emails.
Holy Crap!! Got approved today
In NC since April '07. Interviewed in July '07.
Since the interview, I've written to my interviewing officer three times, 2 senators and first lady. The last letter I sent to the IO, I sent it certified and included the recent memo.
Now for the strange part, here is how I got the approval: a letter from the DO that doesn't look too official. But it was a nicely written letter that says, as of the date on the letter I'm a LPR! No online updates, but letter says card production was ordered. I can also schedule an infopass, and get my passport stamped, which I am doing on Tuesday.
I dont know if my continuous letter writing helped, but based on the unusual method of approval I would say maybe, of course the biggest thing most probably, is the new policy. I guess its being implemented! I will ask about it when I go to the infopass and let you all know what they say.
This forum has been great. I would have been lost without it. Thanks so much everyone.

* I should clarify here, by unusual method of approval, I simply mean unusual method of informing me.
Ok Everyone I have good news for all of you!
It is confirmed, they have started approving, even without name check results. I just got my passport stamped.
After the IO stamped my passport, I asked her to check on my name check results.
She was surprised to see that it wasn't completed, and I still got the approval letter. She told me she didn't realize "they" were going to start implementing the new policy so soon.
I asked her about the lack of online updates, she said those didn't matter since my case was approved locally.
So...its happening! Good luck everyone, I'm sure your letters are coming.
Mankato,
Did you get a LUD online for the FP request?
Thx
