Had news back from Senator's office, my Name Check is still pending. I sent email to my lawyer, and he told me there is no way to expedit the name check process. The FBI doesn't do the "name check." This refers to a process conducted by, at last count, at least 13 different, independent agencies. it is essentially a security check, and not even the CIS can insist that the other agencies speed the process.
I don't know what I can do :-(
Still waiting!
