FBI Record Check Validity

Experts,
I know the fingerprints expire after 15 months. I've already been through 2. But will the name/record check with the FBI expire after a certain amount of time also? Mine was completed and sent back to the USCIS in January of 2003. My I-485 hasn't been approved. Will they have to conduct another one before approval? Please advise.

Thanks!
 
As per my understanding Name Check is done only once by FBI based on the Biographical Information and Finger Printing Check gets expired in 15 months and IBIS check done by CIS is valid for 90 days. Hope this helps.
 
Thanks, Needhelp1. That's good news. I received an e-mail from Mr. Dave Hardy this morning stating that my name/record check was completed and sent back to the USCIS in January 2003. If what you stated as your understanding is correct, I am glad this one is out of the way.

Thanks again!
 
Cemol ... it's nice to hear that Agent Hardy is replying via emails. Just one thing to verfiy, did you send a fax with your information or just left a message with your information in the FBI voice mailbox? Also, can the request be sent via email? Thanks!
 
Agent Hardy

Agent Hardy responded to my fax inquiry. They say USCIS hasn't requested for the name check. No records exists for me or my wife. We did our first finger print in Feb 2004. How long do they take for requesting name check???

I485 has an LUD when they approved I140 on July 7th 2004. Is appears to be a long wait.......Any ideas to make USCIS wake up to request name check. AP is valid till April 2005 and EAD June 2005. I can't apply for these until end of this year!!!!
 
Cemol,
Can you please post the format to fax and also the fax number to check the Name Check. I have called them last week and left a voice mail and they haven't responded yet!

Shaf,
I did both. I actually called about 3 times in a 3 month period. I sent a fax on July 28th and I received a response on August 13th.

Dear Sir,

I have filed an application for adjustment of status to that as of Lawful Permanent Resident with the USCIS Nebraska Service Center in Lincoln, NE on XX/XX/XX. My application is now pending adjudication at the XXXXXX Local office of the USCIS after being transferred from the Nebraska Service Center on XX/XX/XX. I am afraid the transfer took place due to non-completion of security/name check by the FBI once my application came up for adjudication in Lincoln.

I am sending this note to you kindly asking for your office to please provide the status of the security/name check I believe the USCIS would have requested upon the filing of my application for adjustment of status. Following are the details of my case:

Name: XXXX XXXXX
A#:XXXXXXXX
LINXXXXXXXXXX
SS#:XXX-XX-XXX
Date of Birth: XX/XX/XX
Address: XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
Phone# (work & home): XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
Fax# XXXXXXXXX
E-mail: XXXXXXXX

I may be reached by phone or e-mail, if you require any additional information/ documents to address my request. A prompt response will be greatly appreciated.

Sincerely,

NAME
 
Hi, Could you guys please tell me when can I inquire about the name check? My FP1 is expiring on 27th August and no idea when they will do the name check/background check. Please shed some light on this. Thanks.
 
Pibo,
You have a great chance of getting approval. So just pray to God that you don't have to again go for Second FP.

And thanks Cemol for the reply.
 
needhelp1, thanks for the support.....I am praying to god for the approval....I am just too tired of this whole GC process......I am sure you all are.....

Please write me about the name and background check, i.e. how can I check that they did it or not.
