name check : cleared or not ?

Hi,

I got a response from CSC.XII that my name check was cleared.

Now, before I leap with joy, I have observed that many folks get such a message but when D-day comes, CSC does squat. And after much additional nudging and prodding, there are many flavors of response CSC gives examples being

1. Delayed due to "additional security checks"

2. Previous response was a mistake. Actually still stuck in name check.

3. Delayed due to "overseas security checks"

Short of getting the actual card, how can I be sure that the NC is done ?

What is most disturbing is that most members say that they get a confirmation from their senator/congressmen or else FBI/1st lady when NC gets cleared after a long delay. I have contacted all of them but they havent told me anything. I called congressman but he told me that he hasnt heard anything yet.

Honestly, I dont know what to believe. Any help, guidance folks ? Will appreciate it.


Any help ? gp111, nother1inline, unitednation, tantan, qwerty, matt30, pklam, lifeislife and everyone else ?

Read this, from www.uscis.gov/graphics/publicaffairs/factsheets/security_checks_42506.pdf

"Even after FBI has provided an initial response to USCIS concerning a match, the name check is not complete until full information is obtained and eligibility issues arising from it are resolved."

For most applicants, the process outlined above allows USCIS to quickly determine if there are criminal or security related issues in the applicant’s background that affect eligibility for immigration benefits. Most cases proceed forward without incident. However, due to both the sheer volume of security checks USCIS conducts, and the need to ensure that each applicant is thoroughly screened, some delays on individual applications are inevitable. Background checks may still be considered pending when either the FBI or relevant agency has not provided the final response to the background check or when the FBI or agency has provided a response, but the response requires further investigation or review by the agency or USCIS. Resolving pending cases is time-consuming and labor-intensive; some cases legitimately take months or evenseveral years to resolve. Every USCIS District Office performs regular reviews of the pending caseload to determine when cases have cleared and are ready to be decided. USCIS does not share information about the records match or the nature or status of any investigation with applicants or their representatives."

So all answers you mentioned are right. We have to wait more and more and more.

Cider,

You should not even come to this web site, much less posting here, if you are so worried about your privacy and the higher auth of your org. They could track you down easily! Just kidding. However since you can not disclose any info I doubt anyone will be interested in helping you or answering your question. Do some research yourself, and good luck to you.

I have feeling that the NC crap is a HOAX! Either you can't get response at all or you get contradicting responses from different sources. It's all by luck. This is a very good excuse of those agencies to hold your case for some reason. They are just playing. See, everything in black box. You can't query, can't sue and nobody audit them. What country it sounds like? Good luck!
 
Good luck to you too and to EA2005 as well
