Another FBI name chack story
Hello Everyone,
First time posting, read through some of your comments, here is my situation regarding FBI back ground check:
I filed my application for GC through marrige in May 2004, received the first interview date (with my wife) in March 2005, went to the interview, everything went well, at the end of the interview officer told me that he has approved my application and can finilize my decision pending FBI name check.
I asked him since when my name went for name check, he informed since June 2004.
So now after one and half yr (and still counting), I have not received any word regarding my name check status.
Talked to my lawyer, according to him name check can take from 3-weeks to 3 years...go figure.
My temporary EAD card expired in Aug 2005 (I am on H1-B till 2006). I have filed for EAD renewal (in October/november) through efiling and still waiting for finger printing.
So, I am waiting for one and a half yrs now and no sign of end, I read few posts saying if it takes more than 1-yr for name check INS issue 10 yr card, instead of 2-yr one..I hope this is true.
Here is my info...
Origin - Pakistan
Male
33yrs old
Waiting for name check since June 2004
Regards.
