FP . Name Check & IBIS Name check- Are these Same?

[GC_candiadate]

Just wanted to know whether FP . Name Check & IBIS Name check are same or different processes.

from the forum , it looks like FP & FBI Name check are different. But read something about IBIS name check ( results validity extended to 90 days from earlier 35 per murthy.com reported few months back. Is this different than FBI name check?

Expert comments would be much appreciated.

Regards

FBI Name Check is different than IBIS Security Check.
FBI Name check is done only once during I485 and IBIS check is done by CIS and it is valid for 90 Days. Hope this clears the confusion.

black box...

if only we knew the status of each checks...we would be happy people. file can be waiting for checks to be complete or it could be providing paper weight to the adjudicator by sitting idle on their desk.

I totally agree with your statement. I have faxed three times to FBI about Name Check and called them twice and emailed them once and I haven't heard anything from them.

When name check will be done by FBI? after FP or before FP? my I-485 changed couple of days, after 3 weeks, after I got my FP notices and FP date is 10/14/2004.
