stuck_forever said:My I-485 RD is November 5, 2002. And I have been waiting for the name check to clear for almost 3 years. Today I called USCIS at Vermont Center, and the lady told me that finally my name check was cleared in October 19, 2005! She told me that I should receive a notification within 30 to 60 days. I hope the information she gave me is valid. Finally some light at the end of the tunnel.
No, I think she was talking about final approval. I hope.nati309 said:Congratulations! Do you think she was talking about a notification that your name check was cleared?? I always wondered how will I know when it's finally cleared.

Did your LUD change around Oct 19 when your name check was cleared?
Call me Shrek said:On slashdot (http://yro.slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=05/11/04/2119227&threshold=1&tid=158&tid=219):
" As a person who recently had a background check done by "BackChek" (a ChoicePoint company), I can speak with first-hand of the experience.
Without mincing words, it was botched. My name turned up two other criminal records with a similar name. I assure you, this was quite a suprise to me as I've never been detained, charged, arrested or incarcerated before by any authority.
So, after being informed by my recruiter that my background check had "turned something up", I was quite upset. You see, I had already turned in notice to job #1 (I was extended an offer before the criminal background check was completed) and was winding down at that job and preparing for job #2. After much scrambling around and research, I managed to secure a copy of one of the accusatory instruments.
They had matched my supposed 'criminal record' with this other criminal record on NAME ALONE. In terms that more of you might understand: Select * from Criminal_Database where NAME equals "$myname";. I am a full 7" taller than this person and weighed approximately 50 pounds more. I also had different color hair and different color eyes. I live at a different address in a different county. I am of a different race. Wouldn't you think that data integrity of a company like ChoicePoint would be of a slightly higher quality? Rather than costing me DAYS of
The biggest problem that I had with the entire experience is that the ChoicePoint company was very unwilling to research the problem further, even with me giving them the case #, the court's contact information and other such information. I even faxed them a copy of the actual report, but they were unwilling to review it. I am still awaiting their final disposition, some 3 weeks later. "
...and there is no reason to believe those bastards at FBI could do any better. We are fucked. We are so fucking fucked...
Al_aos said:FBI is wrking very hard (ly) and silently on name check cases and do not want to be disturbed as this would take away from the time they to work on our cases. Hence they stopped replying to our emails ( read they are not answerable tio us anymore)
You should have "faith" in an organization as FBI as it has in the past always "proven " themselves as "efficient" and a proffessional organization.
All pending name check will be cleared in time and I guess by that time most priority dates will be current.
