Name check and police reporting

Hi:

I just had my biometrics taken last week (04/20) for adjustment of status (I-485). However, this week I had to file a police report for the fraudulent use of my debit card. My debit card number was obtained by some crook who made almost $800 worth of purchases. My question is as I filed a police report for this, will it be an issue for the name check process? I am not sure how the name check works, but I am concerned that because of this record my application can be potentially delayed. Is my concern unfounded? Any input will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

There was a discussion related to this issue - that victim of credit/debit card fraud gets into the FBI "reference" files. I personally think it is untrue, but there are other people who are sure it will delay background check. Hard to say what the truth is.
 
Thanks for your response. Do you have a link to that discussion on victims of credit/debit card frauds?
 
Look at post#1323 of NSC I-485 consolidated tracker thread and ensuing discussion. It talks about credit card fraud, but I am sure debit card fraud is applicable as well.
 
Thanks a bunch for the information. I read the threads and it appears that the name check process will be delayed if your name ends up on the FBI list, including the reference list. Getting included in the reference list seems to be quite easy. What is not clear is if a manual processing begins when your name is in the reference list or if that processing is electronic which I assume will be faster.

Because in my case I filed a police report, I have no idea if my name will end up in the reference list.

Any thoughts about all of this will be very helpful.

Thank you.. soc_aus
