Namecheck-DONE!!!!!!!!!

Hello everyone,
I just received an e-mail from FBI (FBINNCP@ic.fbi.gov) stating that my name check was processed and finalized on May 19th. I had sent a couple of e-mails on May 15 and 16th.

I have been trying through several channels and I am not sure which one worked. Recently I contacted Senator's office and they in turn contacted USCIS (instead of FBI for some unknown reasons!)....but the FBI e-mail message was in response to my e-mail.
Steps I have taken:
1. Contacted Congressman (received reply stating that FBI received requst on Nov3, 04)
2. Requested FOIPA (received 'no-record on file' response)
3. Sent an e-mail to Secretary of State through their Website!! (response?)
4. Contacted Local FBI office and submitted a request (no reply so far)
5. Contacted local police (basically the deputy chief said they cannot do much)
6. Contacted 2 senators. (I have stated in the letter that I am unable to submit for Fedearal research grants that require permanent status. Based on this, one senator contacted USCIS..still waiting for response)
6. Faxed request to Senate subcommittee on Immigration and homeland security
7. Faxed request to house subcommittee
8. Sent an e-mail to white house regarding the possible national security risks of pending name checks..I have made no request regarding my namecheck (got usual response!)
8. Started e-mailing FBI in May, 06. (Here I assumed some reasons for the delay (like area of research.. and stated the same in my communication)

I strongly believe that my e-mail was read by a good officer and worked on it!

Good luck everyone,
 
How to check name check status?

Hi Toxsci!

I am also one of Oct 2004 filers for I-485. I have tried several time e-mails to this e-mail address but no reply in last month. I called USCIS but they just read out the online response. How can one find out which stage the case is stuck at? Appreciate your input.

Thanks

If you are a TSC customer, call TSC directly using POJ trick and speak with the respresentative (search for this in the forum). You may need to try this a couple of times before you get a nice representative.
You can also take an Infopass appointment or contact the elected representative to know the status.
Good luck,
Toxsci.
 
Congrats Toxsci!!!

Congrats Toxsci!!!
Senator told me that my name check initiated in 04/2005. I have been sending lot of Faxs, mails and emails to FBI for the past eight months but no reply. Did you write to Secretary of FBI? Would you please tell us how to write to Secretary of State and Senate subcommittee on Immigration and homeland security? Thanks.

Thats good work Toxci. Nowadays I think when someone posts with this subject, "NAMECHECK DONE!!!", it seems almost equivalent like getting a GC. It feels exciting now to get a namecheck done by FBI. Looks like FBI name check is now a higher priority of concern. If that is passed, then your GC is almost 90%.

Toxci,
Please give us more information, on how you cleared it. Your email is good and gives lot information. But you really need to pass on your research, time you spend on this to us, so we can also do the same. I had sent email to FBI last year and did not get any response, so I had lost hope on it, till your email, which really surprised me as to that FBI are responding.

Thanks and all the best to you.

No. I did not write to FBI secretary. I just e-mailed to name check division.
You can contact secretary of state through their website ( as I mentioned, this may not help much)
http://contact-us.state.gov/cgi-bin/state.cfg/php/enduser/home.phpvia
As far as committees are concerned, I have faxed requests to senate Majority committee

U.S. Senate Committee on the Judiciary
Subcommittee on Immigration, Border Security and Citizenship
224 Dirksen Senate Office Building
Washington, D.C. 20510.
Fax: 202-224-9102

And house Democratic committee
U.S. House Committee on the Judiciary
Democratic members
2142 Rayburn House Office Building
Washington, D.C. 20515
Fax: 202-225-4423

Apart from this, you can also fax to Senate Judiciary commettee and house majority committee (google for their contacts)

I have included following records with all requests
Request letter, a separete list containing Name and other receipt details, FOIPA record received from FBI.

I am not sure which one really works. I think my e-mail to FBI worked!
I have one suggestion. keep trying different things and one of them will work.

Good luck to you,
Toxsci

Thank you.
I know..it is the biggest hurdle..if at all there's one step in this process that you do not want be stuck..it is name check!!!
I have posted some more info in my previous posting.
Are you also stuck in name check? There is a thread in immigrationvoice.org and they have also started a yahoo group. you may want to join this group, if you are stuck.
Here are a couple of steps that I think are important
1. Confirm through congressman enquiry to FBI that USCIS requested your name check and is pending with FBI since xy date
2. Request FOIPA (generally get response in 15 days as 'no-record)
3. write to a different elected representative (include FOIPA record)
4. fax to senate and/or house subcommettees
5. e-mail to FBI..keep sending mails once a week or so..change the content..and subject of e-mail each time..be specific..add some 'touching reasons' in the mail..do not forget to include your A# and other details with each e-mail...(be careful while drafting e-mail..give some family or financial reasons..etc..hoping that if would touch the heart of a good person!!)
Apart from this, some people have contacted Mr. Hooton. I am not sure if that helps..as he may be getting several requests each day
If I was not cleared, my next step would have been to ask my employer to write to FBI-NNCP (probably with some compelling reasons)

Good luck!

congrats Toxsci this is great. have u called TSC since then. I suspect a call to TSC is in order, armed with the FBI email, now they cant even bluff you with the generic security check pending BS. good luck and i think you are just a few days removed from GC bliss. BTW I must tell you I came back yday from India and it was the coolest entry ever at Newark airports immigration dept. took a total of 20 seconds may be.

Thanks Nikkasingh!
I am yet to call TSC..thought it might take some time for them to digest the namecheck results of FBI!! I will call them next week.
Hope you had a good time in India. I and my family are looking forward for such a cool trip!!

Is it because of your email working? Before you sent your email, you had already contacted several parties. The email just conformed one of your past efforts working.

Not sure which one really worked. Just one week earlier, I had sent requests to senate and house committees ( I have not received any response from them so far). I did e-mail to FBI after waiting for a week assuming that it would work, if someone had contacted FBI on my behalf by then. The FBI e-mail message was in response to my enquiries and it did mention the dates of my e-mail enquiries! (which means they are infact reading e-mails)
Good luck to everyone,
Toxsci.
 
Many people have already reported it does not work and they never received response. It’s unlikely your email works but may be your other efforts. Why don’t you contact the TSC for the processing status and see what is their response now?

Well..that is what I have been telling..I am not sure which one worked but all I can say is I received response from FBI-NNCP that did refer to my earlier e-mail enquiries.
I will be contacting TSC next week.
