Biggest Anti-Climax Ever

Oh dear my big mouth.......

We had our AOS today in detroit.

Passed with flying colours!

The lady was really nice and friendly, stamped my passport........

.....and stupid stupid me said, well im glad i passed my FBI name check after the horror stories ive been reading.

Oh (she said looking at me suspiciously), ill just check for you again...

Bummer she says. I guess it didnt go through yet afterall. Stamp gets crossed out, work card given back.

Then stupid me asks if the check is just for america or england as well, and she says maybe i should review your case if your acting so suspicious. She had a smile on her face, but now im paranoid i screwed myself even more. But i guess if its an outside agency they dont have any control over it. I spose when you are blessed with a common name like andrew smith your name gets around a bit. I told her that this website just made me paranoid. I hope she dosent black mark my name even more! Anyhow she said ill get a letter when its done, so at least we passed the interview.

Anyhow she also said that we would have been recalled back to immigration when they had realised their error so my big mouth served a purpose at least. Still it sucks.

Permit me to shout AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!

Ok,take a DEEEEEEP breath!

You will be just fine!

I have no idea if the FBI are checking both the US and Europe but if you dont have a crominal record(I assume you dont)there is NADA to worry about.

Take care!

Sorry to hear... If it's one thing I've learned with USCIS is never offer information, unless asked. All the best, and I hope you get positive results soon.

Indeed. I was always told if a USCIS officer asks you if you know what the time is, your answer should be: "Yes" or "No".

i know i know im a idiot, im just naturally inquisitive and was wondering how a stupid name check could hold everything up. I just hope i didnt make her too suspicious, i couldnt tell if her smile was friendlyness or professional acting. Anyhow i offered her another copy of my UK police certificate but she said thats not relevant since its only a usa check.

I just hope its sorted by xmas so i can go home for once.....

That sucks.... But congrats on successful interview non the less.

wow.. why the hell is she so suspicious considering that this sort of info is on their website.. My wife did the same thing and I went white the second she said it.. Luckily I played dumb, just in case..

Don't kick yourself. ###### happens. It is funny when you think about it.. She is lying anyway. You had to have passed the check for her to approve it.

Well i think the problem was that she thought she had checked my case but she didnt. "Monday morning" was her exact excuse. But she said that she was shocked that my check hadnt gone through and was gonna resubmit my case to double check. Like i said, she said i would have been called back once she realised she screwed up, so i dont think there was any big conspiracy just cause i said out of relief that i was glad the namecheck had gone through, because i had heard it could take months. I cant deal with conspiracies right now, its depressing enough to wait for simple paperwork.

It happens! Don't be too hard on yourself.

Lesson learned... never volunteer information.

Nope. Not a thing to worry about. Except when you'll get it.

Sorry to hear pikzy. Welcome to Name Check Hell.
