getting thru to the IO
Did you get thru to the IO?, I read some where that there are two tiers now, the first tier is a call center rep that just gives scripted answers, when I asked them(on 01/26) if the FBI namecheck cleared, she probably could not find anything in the scripted responses, she said that I have to speak to an IO and transferred me. The IO said that the security or background check is pending and said this takes about 6-12 months, she said to call back after 6 mos. I believe I asked her if the security check is the same as name check, she didn't confirm, you have to try couple of ways to get them to check the actual status. I do not remember the options I went thru to get to the IO.
If you recently applied do not panic yet, give them sometime to sort things out, two of my friends who applied at the same time as me got their IL's 10 days ago and I got mine y'day, both of them have their Interviews at the Santa Ana DO even though one of them stays in the same zip code as mine, mine went to LA DO, so there may be lot of these variations in the USCIS process and some of it depends on the DO.

How did you get IO to confirm that NC was pending. I have called the 800 number twice and have got nowhere except the usual answer "you have to wait". Also, what options did you use to get to the IO at the 800 number.
