Namecheck is something which inconviniences alot of people during their Permanent Residence application. It is something which is always in my mind especially since I will be applying for Green Card next year. To me a namecheck is a background check. Correct me if I am wrong.
I am a licensed financial professional registered with the NASD. Whenever I change firms within the same profession, I have to fill up a bunch of paperwork and submit my fingerprints for background check which get sent to the FBI. I have had my fingerprints submitted to the FBI in 2006 while my case was still going on in Immigration Court and lately just three weeks ago to the FBI. We get the result within a week from the FBI. What does not make sense is that the USCIS submits our information to the FBI and sometime people are stuck for years in "namecheck". Is namecheck just a way to protect their inefficiency ? With the USCIS tripling their processing fees, this is totally not acceptable. I am planning to get intouch with the FBI to discuss this matter and lets see what their views are.
By the way, do I have to be concerned because in my FBI report it mentions I was arrested by the USCIS in November 2005. Will this create an issue during namecheck?
I think we should create an affidavit and have it signed by people who are in support and present it to our senators and congressmen/women to take action upon.
Your comments will be highly appreciated.
