Hi Guys,

We hear all the time that so many of us are stuck in name check. Now I assume they must be processing some of the fortunate ones who were "hit" and stuck in namecheck process when the analyst got a rare opportunity to look into any files related to that person.

I have created this tracker so that we have some hope that although with delay..one day we will have our namecheck cleared also.

Could guys/ladies who were stuck in name check and then cleared..(time period > the normal time) enter their name and process history(PD/FD and ID)
so that we can extrapolate our time -:)

Please do not enter your name if you learnt your namecheck is cleared but you are in the 6-8 months processing window.(because then you were not really "stuck" in name check-:). and also may I request you not to post any discussions on this thread as it loses focus of the thread. Just info only please.

PD-04/07
FD-05/07
stuck in namecheck
IL- Dream on:)

FlyingTurk,

I have a question about your sig
- Do you see LUD in CRIS on your N-400 receipt?

My N-400 PD is close to yours, and my LUD still shows April 2007.
 
I don't know whether my case date can help or not. But, my name check lasted sooooo long....

See my signature!!

By the way, IO in local office told me that my name check came out Nov 1st, 2007, which made the total time was 2 years 5 months. And, according to the data I got from other friends, 2 years and 6 months is the average time for clearing a hit name in FBI.

I called in USCIS no: 1800-375-5283. I get a message that the caseius not found.

Did anyone have this situation before?

The USCIS automated case update system--whether it be accessed online or via telephone-- is not accurate or reliable. Don't worry if your case does not appear.

Is there a different no to check status of FBI Finger Printing?
You'll have to call the FBI directly at 304-625-5590 to check the status of your FP clearance.

congratulations TDI...

Hi TDI,

Heartiest congratulations to you.

I am glad your ordeal is over. I hope Ghantabro's comes through soon too.
It will save some hair on his head:)

By the way did you write to First lady/VP/senator.
Do you know if that helped?

I am stuck since 04/2007.

Thanks and congrats again.

Regards
 
Thanks

Thanks, waitingforins2.

I haven't written to anybody yet, though I was considering writing to my senator.

That my background check was accelarated could have resulted from the recent initiative to clear the name check backlog just announced.

I think most of the long pending name checks will be cleared in the next 3 months.
