NSC Fingerprint Notice Problem
Informed sources indicate that EB-485 and their family members I-485 applicants whose cases are pending with the NSC and whose
applications were filed in May through Sept. 2001 are reportedly receiving a duplicate fingerpint notice. This is reportedly a software
system screw-up. INS in Wash. DC has implemented a new system for the Service Centers to use in issuing fingerprint notices, but the
notices now being generated by the system overlap with notices that the NSC sent out over the course of late spring and the summer.
Those whose prints clear ed the first time around may check with the ASC to make sure that the initial set of prints cleared. To date this
only appears to be an issue with I-485 cases filed with Nebraska over the summer. The Service Center has been alerted to and is aware of
the problem. In fact, at the NSC Conference for the AILA attorneys on October 17, 2001, NSC brought up this problem.
