I feel that something must be done about this name check delay issue.
We can start off by contacting senators and/or congressmen.
My take on this is that we should be clever in how we bring this issue to the senators/comgressmens attention. If we simply say our cases are getting delayed due to this, they may not put it as a high priority item. But if we also tell them that this could be a security risk issue for the US, because if name check is not done immidiatly, the wrong persons can claim immigration benefits like EAD/AP and can continue to stay in the US, thus compromising security, they will listen. We can add, It is imperitive that these people be weeded out right at the start and therefore it is important that name check be coordinated much closely and it must be ensured that it is done as quickly as possible.
After all, which politician doesnot like being viewed as being geniunly worried, and taking action in the interest of national security ? We can make this issue into something they will like to treat as highest priority !!
This will ensure that the correct people don't have to wait forever, while the ones that are 'not so correct' are weeded out right at the beginning.
