You are not alone. My spouse's name check is also pending even though my GC has been approved over 6 months back. Can you believe it .. just hang in there. We have been sending emails to FBI for over 6 months now .. still no response.GCG said:hello eternal_labor,
looks like i am not alone with name check issued on 03/04/04 and which is still pending... i am not really sure wtf is going on, but it seems to me that a lot of march 04 people got screwed with name checks being stuck for over a year...
have you tried anything to expedite the name check ? senators, fbi managers, etc. ?
thanks.
You are not alone. My spouses name check has been pending (or this is what USCIS gives as the reason for not approving her GC) ... and my GC was approved over 6 months back. We have been sending emails to FBI since my GC approval and no response from them. I dont think you can do anything here .. talking to senator / congress men would not help.GCG said:hello eternal_labor,

Following is from the email received from FBI:
--------------------------------------------------
Due to increased national security concerns, in December 2002 to early 2003, the USCIS submitted an additional 2.7 million name checks for processing to the FBI. Although 99.8% of these cases have been finalized, our efforts to complete the remaining requests continue. This has delayed processing of other requests.
You may be assured that the immigration authorities will be advised at the
earliest possible date upon completion of your case.
Sincerely,
----------------------------------------------------------------------
USCIS had sent my Name check request to FBI on Oct 21st,2003 and as on date this is still pending. Hope this info is useful.

GCG said:i am just afraid that there was some computer glitch with march 04 cases and a lot of them just stuck...
fbi_name_check, eternal_labor,
any of you received a response from the FBI itself with you name check status ? Not FOIPA, not USCIS... I am interested to see they the FBI got a name check request and they are processing it. otherwise it could be a situation when USCIS sent a request, but FBI never received it and the are waiting on each other... and it could be an endless wait...
eternal_labor said:I did receive the message from FBI NNCP saying they have received the request from USCIS and is in a pending status.
My congressman's office says FBI has an internal deadline of Aug '05 to complete name checks for cases requiring further review. Doesn't seem like it, but still hopeful.
romit said:when did you send the email to FBI? trying to create a timeline. I sent mine on January 13th and still waiting for response.
GCG said:commander,
i am speculating that most of those stuck cases are EB3, everything else has been processed... it's very unusual to see a EB2 case to be stuck with name check, mostly it's EB3...
