Name Check

[hsb123]

Guys

Can somebody help me understand when a FBI Name check is
initiated in the GC process.

Does EAD come before or after a name check ?

I appreciate your time and response.

i think it comes after the name check.

I don;t know this is true, my EAD card came before I gave the Fingerprint, I believe Name check is after we gave the FP.

Based on my time-line I can infer that EAD is not dependent on FBI name check results.
As soon as you apply 485, they trigger your name check. usually FBI name check results take 1-2 weeks (my wife got results back in 2 days), but mine took more than one year. Even then, I did get EAD/AP in 2 months.
485 applided 12/2003
name check started 12/2003
EAD/AP approved 2/2004
Finger Prints 4/2004
name check completed 2/2005

Is there any pattern/guess to know that our name check is completed?
