I called Fbi and they told me that the only information they received was for I-751 last year and they processed the finger prints and send them last year, This year when i filled N-400 i was not finger printed because they (USCIS told me that i dont need to be) as the finger prints from last year are still active. Today i called FBI and they told me that the only request they received about me was last year.

It has been five months and All i wants USCIS to get my finger prints and send it to FBI so we can start the process of name check.

Fingerprints are valid for 15 months. This means that they can re-use the results of your background check for up to 15 months after it has taken place. This means that they do not have to do additional fingerprint appointments unless your fingerprints have expired. Therefore, if it was just last year, it is quite likely your fingerprints are still valid and they do not have to process them through the FBI again.

This is good for everyone - since the FBI has four people across the U.S. that handle ALL of the USCIS background checks central processing [district officers handle personal inquiries]. The FBI refuses to hand over authority to USCIS despite numerous requests.

But USCIS is always telling me the same thing that my name check is pending, Now as the FBI did not get any request this year how can process it .

thanks

You have asked the FBI about background checks. They change for those - not name checks. Ask about name checks, you will get different results. Typically they respond with no knowledge and refer to the background checks.

Additionally, name checks are handled by a very small FBI department.

Be patient. If you aren't outside of processing times, there is nothing you can do.

Once you are past processing times by 30 days - contact your Senator. -- Or start working with an Attorney.

At 90 days - contact your Ombudsman.

At 120 days - Sue.

And every 45 days, contact CIS and inquire again. InfoPass appointments work great.

Realy, someone needs to start seriously tracking delayed cases.
