Question about bypassing FBI name check

[omar 0]

I was going to ask if anyone knew of the time line on processing these requests that have been pending for more than 6 months. My name check started after my interview a little over a year ago, January '07, so yes it has been longer than 6 months. I was absolutely thrilled to hear about the changes made today. In any case, I just got off the phone with USCIS and got my answer there and thought I might share it with you all. According to them you should hear something by March 10th, either an approval or another interview date, and if you don't you need to contact them. March 10th! That's less than a month away! I just hope it's not another interview, just want my GC, enough is enough! But I do have one question for everyone, I have been married over 2 years, so would this GC be a 10 year unconditional one or a 2 year conditional one or a conditional one pending name check ????

good luck to all!

That's great news! I'm not sure what to tell you about the 2- versus 10-year card, but I would hope they would give you the 10-year. The FBI namecheck rule change shouldn't alter their standard practices; if they feel they have to revoke your card, it wouldn't matter if you have a 2-year or a 10-year.

Omar, you should get a 10-year card.
