Hello Every one
Please c my earlier thread I have posted today.
http://www.immigrationportal.com/sho...d.php?t=278894

My Interview is done..but got the N-652 with...
"A decision cannot yet be made about your application pending name check."

My Name was different from Indian passport compare to N-400, GC and every other doc.
They want to do a name check again with my actual name on the Indian PP.

They will let me know when I shld go for the Oath. My wife is taking Oath same day ie. today.

Anyone in the same boat waiting or any experiences Please share.

Thanks You guys for all the advice and support.

How different was it? was it just a case of reversing the order of names - in this case it shouldn't have triggered another name check.

Thanks Tabaliya...

Yes it is reversing the order of names....but on my Indian PP, My first name is now different than in the GC and that is what I was using for N400 unaware that they still look and consider my PP name.

Well she said, they haven't did the background check on the name in the pp
and hence she sent for the back ground check.

Thanks once again.
 
Second name check trigger

I think I will be in the same situation. I have my interview on June 10th. so I am curious.

My familname/given name order in PP is
Kxxxx (familname)/ Pxxx Sxxx (given name)

Where as in my green card and in all my american records it is
Kxxxx (Last name) Sxxx (First name) Pxxx(Middle name).

There is good chance that they did a name check on Kxxxx (Last name) Sxxx (First name) only. Is your differences too similar? Can you explain.

My brother had his names completely jumbled yet never had any problem. Not that it should matter even if it is an extra check. I applied on March 17th and got interview letter on May 09th. So an extra name check should not take longer than 2 months these days. (unless you are really eager to vote in this election like I am:-))

Good luck!
 
File civil suit (1447b) after 120 days of the interview. The USCIS have to adjudicate your application ortherwise ask the court to get you oath....
 
nbk10081,
How different was your name?

Give some example (Dont have to give your exact name, just use an example to illustrate the difference between name on Passport and on GC)?

It was like this in my Indian PP....

Under Surname
< last name as in GC > < XXXXX > < XXXXX >

Under Given names
< XXXXX > < XXXXX > < First name as in GC >

So they did a name check that was showing on my GC. But now they want to do a name check against how it is in my Indian PP.

Hope this helps.

Yes, my name is long.
 
Actually if the issue is just a change in the order of names, no new name check should be necessary as the FBI checks all possible variations of the names in different orders. Perhaps the USCIS AO who handled your case didnt' know that!

Either way, by law USCIS has 120 days to decide on your case. If they don't send you an oath letter/decision before this, you can file a lawsuit. For cases after interview, I think you're better off filing a writ of mandamus (WOM) than filing under 1447(b).

Are you saying you have 3 distinct words in your sirname and 3 words in given name? Can you clarify? thanks

Yes, That's how my PP has it..
After Surname, I have 2V's and 2S's before my first name...

So on the indian passport they expanded that way...

Under Surname..
<surname> <1st v> <2nd v>

Under Given Names...
<1st S> <2nd S> <first name>

I had a tough time back home trying to change the PP name. Here I somehow managed (using bc) to get it correct on ssn, gc, licence etc.
I told the same yesterday at the interview..but she wouldn't listen.

Thanks.

She specifically said it needs a name check. On N-652 she ticked the...
"A decision cannot yet be made about your application" and wrote pending name check with her pen.

She said sorry for dissapointing me..but again said she has do this.

Let's see how many days this will take.

Thanks anyways.
 
Thanks for the info. Sorry to hear that. Hope it clears soon. It is a pity they get picky about these things. Good luck!
 
nbk10081,
I still didnt get it - sorry, can u clarify one more time?

Tell me if this is correct:
passport:
Last Name= Smith Victor Volks
First Name= San Seth John

ur GC= <John><Smith>


is this eg correct? If so, YES! They'll have to do namechecks on Victor,Volks,San,Seth!

Yes, that's correct..this is how its on my pp

Surname = Smith Victor Volks
Given names = San Seth John

and on my GC, BC, Licence...its like this

Last Name = Smith
First Name = John.
They did the name check as shown above I guess...

Now they want to do a name check..as show like this...

Last Name = Smithvictorvolks
First Name = Sanseth

Hope its clear now.
 
nbk10081,

Its clear now, and Yes, definitely they have to do name check on the names fully.
Hopefully they will complete it during the 120 days period, or else, you can wait for a little longer than that, and start using 1447b options if it comes to it.

Then this is more than just a case of reversal of names (I'm not even sure it is that). Names reversed shouldn't be a problem since the FBI NNCP will check all possible permutations of the name. In your case, however, certain parts of the first name and last name went missing (you have 3 of each and only one each was checked for Lname and Fname since that's how you had it on your GC). So they basically haven;t run your complete name in the NNCP program. And therefore the need to do it again. Either case you should know within 120 days or you may sue.

I was curious if a mere reversal of Lname and Fname (without missing any other parts of the name) will trigger an additional name check (shouldn't have to be). For example if my PP name is A B and the GC name is B A and I used B A on the N400 it shouldn't trigger a new name check becuase PP has A B. Knowledgeable posters please clarify.

Yes, You are right. It is possible.
But the surprising thing is, the lady knew this before my interview. I haven't sent the copy of my passport when I mailed my N-400.
They had already my Passport info. When they had the info, why didn't they run my name check before.
Do they wanted to confirm it when I go for interview and then initiate the name check ?

Well any case, I am hoping this shouldn't take much time. My original appl took less than 3 months..so hopefully this should be much faster.
