Hi all,
I applied for my N400 in March 06 (VSC), got my FP in April 06, Interview June 06, got N652 pending name check and now waiting for Oath letter.
I have been watching multiple threads on this website and here is my 2 cents to all the worry worts out there ... If you are not one of those lucky ones that get their name check completed within 3 days after FP, then count 90-120 days from the day of your FP. This is the average time taken by the FBI due to their backlog to complete the Name check. Dont even bother calling your representative or senator, they cant push anything for you but only forward your email or fax to USCIS and you will get a standard response.
If your time is up more than 120 days from the date of your FP, then the chances are that you are going to be stuck for a long time and you may have to try escalating at that point through your senator etc.
Before the 120 days from FP, anything you try to do to escalate is only a crap shoot and you are only going to have pain and aggrevation. Whats really happened here is that USCIS got rid of their backlog and other agencies are yet to catchup with them and hence this new problem of name check delay.
So be at peace and dont worry about something that you cant control unless your buddy works in the FBI.
Ps: Dont even bother about speeding tickets or Parking tickets for your interview. They dont really care about them.
