I got my EAD after finger prints, does that mean FBI name check is clear and done?

Hi,
As long as I know from my own experience and by reading this forum, code 2FP (one finger & digital signature) for your EAD, doesn't include FBI name check clearence.
Though code 3FP starts FBI check (I'm still confused about the diferrence between the "name check" and "background check"- so many posts). If you did the code 3FP it means you started that "clearence process". That's how I understand that.
In my case (ND: 08/09/05...plus I got my FP code 2: the beginning of Oct.- then got the EAD card two weeks after that...then FP3:11/23/05...some update on LUD on 11/29/05), I called that FBI number, in the middle of Jan. 2006, just to ask, if they get my fingerprints (10 FP- code 3).
That was my question maybe I should ask them if they cleared my FP, I don't know... Maybe I should ask more specific question??.!!!??
Anyway the lady responded that they (FBI) sent it back the same day to USCIS. At some point it sounds positive, but as long as I read this forum ... you never know as long as you're finished with the process.
Excuse my over-writng about my situation.
If I was you, I'd just call FBI, asking them certain questions.
I called this phone no: 304-625-5590
plus I saw on the forum other no: 202-324-2399
Hope sb other reply on your post to support you better
Take care,
Dula

Fingerprints clearance has nothing to do with the name check. Almost everyone who is stuck in the name check has an EAD, which means that their fingerprints have cleared. That basically ensures that these people are not wanted for a criminal charge or anything of the sorts.
The name check is initiated as part of the background checks USCIS performs on every applicant before giving them immigration benefits. Those background checks also include the Fingerprint check.
The name check consists of running one's name against all records in the National Name Check Program (NNCP) database. The name is altered in various ways to account for the variations in spelling and pronunciation. The DOB is also used. If your name matches the name of someone who has a record at the FBI (be it a witness, an accomplice, a terrorist...), then the system identifies you as a 'Hit'. An officer will now manually compare your file against the files of those whose names you matched. This could be tedious for various reasons, mainly that not all files are stored in the same locations, that is the files might have to be ordered from locations all across the country, and that the department is seriously understaffed. The process is very random, IMO, and doesn't make much sense, since there's a lot more to a person than a name and a DOB.
Hope that helps. Google name check, and read the congressional testimonies of FBI directors to get a better understanding, and go the Citizenship forum on this website, it has some very useful information on the process and how to fight it.
