Maybe some of you remember me i havent been on here for a while, i still havent received a decision on my case,so yesterday i went in for my second infopass which they told me the same thing,that my case is still pending review. On the first infopass i went to i went upstairs to see if i can ask the IO the question personnaly and turns out she was on vacations,that she would be back in 2 weeks. So yesterday after the fruitless infopass i thought id go upstairs and try my luck. So i went up to the window and asked if the officer was in and they said yes and if i had an appointment,i said no. Then they said IO's cant take walk ins they either have to call you to come in or you have to have an appointment because theyre schedules are super bizzy. I was really bummed and as i was ready to leave this hispanic guy comes up to me and asks me if i speak spanish and english,i say yes and he asks me if i can please interpret for his wife who is in the interviewing room,i said wth i dont have anything else to do! I couldnt believe who his officer was! Yep the same officer ive been wishing i could talk to for the longest,my interviewing officer lol words cant express how excited and overjoyed i was here was my opportunity to personnaly speak and ask my unanswered questions to her!!! So as soon as i went in i said "hello officer S" she said how do you know me? And i porceeded to explain to her that she interviewed me October 10 and ive been anxiously waiting her decision,she said "oh my God i cant believe its been that long and i still havent adjudicated your case, she said shes very good about keeping her files updated and adjudicating as soon as possible because she doesnt like to have outstanding cases. She asked me my info and looked for it on her computer,called someone and said "can you please bring me file so and so" she said as soon as were done with this couple im going to work on your case!(i was jumping up and down inside thinking "wow this is really it") and she started apologising about the delay in my case she was sweet as ever! Then i was sworn in and signed some papers so i could interpret for the couple,lets just say it wasnt a good place to be in,the officer was ver strict and stern and even kicked out one of the couples because they kept talking to each other in their lamguage,so i was uncomfortable. But i got to see first hand how marriage interviews are about.Anyways after the interview was over,she got my file and started looking through everything,she said everything looks great,but unfortunately my name check was still not cleared,that my background check was done,but she couldnt adjudicate without my name cleared. She called the FBI and left a message saying she needed so and sos name check expedited because my petition was way out of processing time. Then she called someone she said was in charge of name clearances within USCIS and told them to look into my name check because she was ready to adjudicate. She also called her supervisor and asked him if he could sign off on an arrest i had when i was 12 for robbery,that i hadnt been in trouble sinse,he said yes. (I really was falsely accused by a family member and i explained to her that) then she said she was going to expedite my case and keep it out so she would stay on top of it. I cant believe i went through all of this by a chance encounter! What are the odds of this happening!im so glad everying is good pending the name check. Can anyone tell me about how much longer the name check might take and why is it taking so long? How does that work?

Name check is the black hole, no telling. At least you have them calling, that's in your favor to get it done. We finally after waiting 10 months for our AOS contacted the USCIS Ombudsman office, seemed to work. But we were not in name check at that point..
