Name check is one of the most dreaded thing in immigration journey.
Its a security check done by FBI. people get stuck in that for years
sometimes. Without that clearance USCIS cannot approve the case.
There is enough said about it in the forums here. Just do a search
We'll ur local office, goto www.uscis.gov and click on Info pass.
There you can give your zip and will take you to the right place.
When you talk with an officer, tell that you need to know specifically if
the Name Check is cleared from fbi.
Have you originally filed to NSC or transferred to NSC from CSC?
Keep in touch..your case will give some clues for me too..
good luck
babu
Do you think by talking to USCIS by calling 1 800 numbers wouldn't help?

Thanx Guys!!
Guys: This is great that dates have moved and looks like they are processing 2002 cases. My PD is May 2002 and I'm leaving for India on June 3rd. What if my case gets approved (having high hopes) when I'm in India or they send letter for interview.
Any ideas guys.
Need some clarification ...Based on this forum, you guys are saying PD is not important if the dates are current ..is that true?
Let us say, some body has PD 2002 with the 485 applied date as 2005, then
the other guy who applied his 485 in 2004 with the PD 2003 is going to get the GC before the first guy with the PD 2002?????
Hello Mr. India
Now the chances of approval. Eventhoug your PD is 2002, your RD is 05/2005. There are people whose RD is older than that. Nimmi is May 04.
I'm OCT 04. I know a few people from my town, who are scattered in 2004.
Technically you have to wait for your turn in terms of RD. But this is USCIS anything could happen. Keep your fingers crossed....
