I had a conversation with a very nice lady regarding the status of my case. She told me that my case is currently pending name and dob check. When I pressed for information on when this was requested from the FBI, she said she cannot confirm 100% but said that is appears as though it was requested on Nov 16th, 2004. Caution here is that she said that she cannot confirm for sure. She was genuinely showing empathy about the delay in my case and said that i have to wait it out. My 2nd FPs expire this month and its a shame that I have to go thru this again. Meanwhile my third EAD has just been approved.
