Today I did call the USCIS emergency # since my RD date has passed the 30 days and they said my spouse name check is cleared and not mine. Since the lady was really nice I had a chance to ask something more and got some information that name check may involve with specific checks in the country that the person resided(like the Police report or something) and also includes tickets (any kind of violations) etc in this country. If it matches any of these then the FBI will have to manually over-ride them so that they are cleared based on certain criteria.

Wow! now I understand the delay that encounters in this process, since I had recieved a ticket for speeding. And I assume it might need a over-ride or something ;-)

Hope this will not take a long time.

Thanks,
Sonpapdi
 
Looks like this nice lady is telling so many things to so many people. May be she is customer facing of USCIS to throw a googly on people like us.

Getting a ticket details for people in India is next to impossible. The licenses can be issued anywhere and the address may not be valid, there are no unique numbers like Soc Sec etc. to link records. How would then one can get such info?

Believe me, it is a googly.

If a ticket involves the drivers license number then there is a possiblity of getting the SSN, because in 1999 the dmv required a valid ssn card before it would issue a driver's license , atleast here in the Bay Area, they may have changed the rules now, but in 1999 my wife was denied a driver's license since she was a dependent and did not have a ssn.
the ssn office gave a letter saying that she is not entitled to have an SSN and its upto the DMV's discretion to issue her a license, DMV promptly rejected her driver's license application saying that they wont issue without a SSN, i think there was some talk that even a tax idenfication number would work but we never tried that since my wife was not a whole lot interested in driving a car in the first place.

I think you have misunderstood about Sonpapdi's message.

He meant Tickets received in this country (US, not India). In India, who receives tickets?

Come on guys!!! This is foolish. You need not even mention traffic violations when you fill-in 485 application. It says mention all other violations except traffic. I don't think speeding ticket makes much difference unless it involves arrest etc...
 
Thanks Appolo_13,

I actually thought about India. I thing it is time to make a visit to India as the thought came at its own.

Dudes, the point is ..

I think the point that I was trying to make is sometimes the name check process invloves manual interpretation of an officer and it might be in my case extending the unwanted delay. Hope you folks really get this point and not to be confused.
In my case i had a ticket(obviously here in US) and it was entered in one of their mysterious database and this namecheck processing hit that database.

If whatever you say is indeed happened then it must be a radom incidence.

On an __average__ every driver gets a traffic ticket every four years in US.
I've seen so many posts of arrests for domestic issues, getting through
without namecheck delays.
 
Sri4GC, You are right...speeding Tickets is not root-cause of Name check delay..

I have 4 trafiicspeeding tickets in last 7 years...Last week, I received mail from FBI regarding Name check & it says that Name check was recived & completed on same day Nov 4, 2004...

So, speeding tickets holds Name check is Bull sh*t....

I don't think you both read my message properly and understood it .. There are thousands of databases the FBI and the Homeland security hosts. And obviously they are not going to check against all the databases out there. What they usually do is randomly check against some few database and then see how the results come. If nothing no harm the name check process itself will be cleared. So there is some probability that you or I may hit the one random database which we may have a record in it. And obviously ticket is one but there might be some vigliance records too which usually comes from the Immigration inspectors. You never know what and how these people track you.

Okay ? Do you understand now ? if not I can't convince you more and you figure it out

Also, Why do you think the namecheck prcess delays Do you have an answer ? Tell me why some people are waiting for this namecheck for months and years ? There must be some reasons right ? And what I told you here came from the officer who responds to the emergency number.

I agree with sonpapdi. I also called emergency number and a nice officer told me that namecheck / detailed review will take sometime as it involves lot of agencies, particularly agency like interpole. He advised me to keep approved EAD / AP and continue to work. He told me not worry too much and also confirmed that the time frame to clear the namecheck / detalied review is not a fixed one and varies from person to person. In my case there is nothing wrong against me , still my name was selected for detailed review. I can understand the pain of most of 485 filers as we are not able to get the current state of our status. But we should share our experiences and case details through this forum so that we get some kind of information on what is happening actually with these checks.

A nice office told me also the same thing that the name check might take time, you can work on EAD or get H1 extended etc. He also told me the same thing that nothing wrong with my case but the name check come back in Quota nad based on where the name check is and when FBI clear that quota, the time may vary.

I do not have any ticket in last 6 years, no case of any kind, no violation on status, always paid tax etc. I have a very common name which does not sound like a terrorist.

Then why the hell it should take time?

I think, a lot of time, there are cracks in the Process of USCIS and FBI and the easy escape route is to blame on name check.

That is why you get different information from emergency depending upon whom you talk to.

To me it looks like USCIS has Gotcha in the system in which they manage the records. Probably, it is not written and tested by Indian software engineers; being on H1, they cannot work on such projects.

GC_GONECASE,

I am not sure if there would be an RFE or case may get thru just like that.

It all depends. I was reading a thread in which Unitednations has said that prior to Dec 31 2004, most of future employments were getting interview calls. Now they have changed as Yates memo clearly says that it is not necessary to have worked for the employer who has sponsored the GC and if it is more than 180 days of pending 485, one can change the intent to join the sponsor and use AC21 ( with 140 approved).
The problem is if the GC approval happens in less than 180 days of filing. Then one has to work for the sponsor and cannot show change of intent.

I know few who got 485 approved for future employment without RFE or interview.

If one uses AC21 and gets RFE or interview. it would like a regular AC21 case, not due to future employment.
