Stuck in Namecheck
- Thread starter p235
- Start date
I think hudakchullu's name check has been cleared.
Please update here if your name checks are cleared
Thanks,
Not me, still stuck as per senator's inquiry on 07/31/2007. However, I've seen many posts reporting different answers given by IOs on a single day: stuck - cleared - then stuck again - then extended review - then awaiting assignment to an officer - then stuck in NC again - then cleared as per infopass - then stuck again as per IO at TSC... So it's almost impossible to say.

Same Here Stuck in NC from 02/04
My name check got stuck from 02/04 according to FBI chief letter.
1. Tried congress man - NC is pending (5 snail mail response)
2. Tried Senator - Same response (1 Snail mail response)
3. FOIPA - No records found
4. Infopass - Confirmed NC is pending got it in written
5. Wrote a letter to ombudsman and got a letter NC is pending from the same date
6. Received a letter from FBI Chief NC is pending from 02/04 it is "in process" can't commit any time.
I think i have a valid reason to sue these morons. Experts can you comment.

I am seriously thinking of getting a good lawyer (post GC approval) and see if I can sue the USCIS for all the lost time outside of the usual 48-72 hours it takes to conduct a NameCheck and get credit towards naturalization waiting period. It would be like commuting already served time towards the final sentence. I think I could make a compelling case

NameCheck Pending since Dec, 2004 (as per Infopass, May 2007)

Apu,
Sometimes USCIS does initiate two name check requests at the same time, due to system error, user error, etc. If one is cleared, it means your NC is cleared. The other one will never be touched again, but for some reason will be left in the system.
This is actually a common reason for some people to receive conflicting info regarding their FBI name checks. Depending on which one an IO clicks, you will get different answer whether your NC has been completed.

Contact the Ombudsman
I would strongly suggest and recommend to everyone stuck in the quagmire of the so called "Name Check" to contact the USCIS Ombudsman.
The link is at the bottom. It is a very simple process. All you have to do is download the PDF Form DHS 7001 and submit with a copy of your pending I-485. Attach a cover letter explaining your situation.
It would be best if you have already done the following.
1. Called the USCIS customer service 1-800 number a couple of times and have gotten nowhere.
2. Scheduled an InfoPass appointment and yet have not received any satisfactory answer.
3. Know when your Name Check was initiated by the USCIS.
This is a pilot project and I urge you to take advantage of it before it goes away completely. The USCIS Ombudsman has identified this systemic problem with pending Name Checks and I am sure would appreciate as many sample cases as they can get from people suffering from this agonizing process.

Yours is a very deserving and valid case for USCIS's consideration. Please use the link I have mentioned above and submit the form DHS 7001. This is, in my opinion the best recourse available to you. You can download the form, fill it and print it out. Attach the I-485 receipt notice to the form and mail it to the address provided on the USCIS Ombudsman page.
