Add me on the list

Waiting on I-485 for me, my wife and my daughter(7).

I-485 -> ND = 04/06/04
I-485 -> FD = 03/11/05
I-485 -> LUD = 03/16/05

Wrote/called senators/congressman -> very hard to get anyone on the phone who can help.

Still hoping.

Regards to you all.
 
Add me to the list. I just knew that my Name Check is pending.

I sent an email to FBI on 04/27/05 for Name Check Status.
 
Hi, Folks:

Has anybody here tried other approaches beside Rahul's post to expedite naming check?

Thanks
 
Just my 2 cents

Well, I think what Rahul Kumar posted was never meant to be an approach. It was more like "exploit" or "loophole". When people started using it en masse, the "loophole" was closed permanently.

That will explain lack of recent positive results.

And, when writing letters to FBI, I think you should substantiate: "Why do they have to pull MY case out of the line and put it on a fast track".

I do not think FOIPA with "no records" and/or pending for xxx months is good enough a substantiation. I bet, there are many many people in line with neg FOIPA/xxx months and they clearly see it at FBI.

So, i think it is time for something new. The only problem i don't know what else to try

1) Senator's office (not much success here)
2) Congressman office (not much success here)
3) Letters to FBI (looks like they ignore them now), even with this FOIPA thing.
4) Writ of mandamus (will probably work for future citizens but unclear will AOS applicants benefit, since there is no preset time limits for namecheck)

I wonder what else?

-- Do we know for sure that name check is done in the order ? I do not think so. How would you explain 485 approvals within few months. ? Or only few unfortunate people are selected for the the name check. ?

-- If I am not mistaken Rahul's case was for citizenship and not for AOS. May be AOS cases are not taken seriously.

A friend of mine and me are stuck in Name check. We have been in US for 8 years and he 7 years now.

I'll like to hear from fellow Name Check victms how long have they been in the US? Is there a pattern that people who stay here longer get stuck up?
 
me too -

Stuck in name check -
Email response received same day ---
This is to inform you that the I-485 in question is still pending. The
reason
that it is still pending is that USCIS is awaiting NAME CHECK results
form
the
FBI. It may have been a long time since we sent the name, but USCIS has
no
control of the time it takes. We apologize for the delay



Thank You

Center Adjudications Officer

One more victim

Add me to the list

Name Check requested date: Dec 8, 2003

Wrote e-mail twice to FBI

6000 Victims

According to the following links, there are around 6000 people fell into extended delay of name check, so the list here is just some samples. Many people do not go to this web site, or do not bother to post.

Unfortunately, I am one of those 6000, pending since September 2003. do not know how many additional day/month/year/decade will the process take?

we are in USA 7 years.. name check pending since oct 2003....
maybe you are right...I know someone who is in USA 15 years and stuck with name check, and couple of people here for 3-4 years and passed name check quickly...
 
stuck in name check

My stay in US is 7 years. Some of my colegues who filed for GC along with me had been in US for less than 4 years, and their name check/GC got approved long back.

One of my friend got GC approved last month , but his length of stay in US is 8 years , his GC using Labor Substitute EB2 could finish in around 7 months.

Mine is stuck in Name check from Feb 9 2005. See my signature for details.
 
When dose FBI begin to Name Check?

I called VSC and was told my case was stuck by name check. I am just wondering when dose FBI begin to Name Check? I applied my I-485 on Jun 28, 2004 and had FP done on Mar 10, 2005. No FP receive message.

Count me in.

Name Check Initiated Jul 2003
 
How long before "stuck" in name check

I'd appreciate your guidance, friends..

In general, how many weeks/months after the FP received/case resumed message, should one assume that their case is stuck in the FBI name check process. I am trying to understand what the normal processing lead-time versus the stuck situation might be..

thanks!
