AOS Timeline 44 days only

[LaL 418]

We are pretty irked that they allowed Annie to have the Visa and NOW they decide to take their time to do a "name check."

...Frankly it scares me, that we could allow potential terrorists into the country under this loophole.

to me, its not that CSC transferees get approved without interview (in most cases), many many many people complete the AOS with no mention of the fbi namecheck whether CSC or regular interview.

i am well convinced even with the short timelines we see, everyone goes through this check. it is still a minority who get stuck in the namecheck process post AOS interview. unfortunately for us, USCIS is not accountable for THIS backlog and we are eliminated from the backlog.

J&A - 1st - would you prefer the check to be prior to issuance of a visa? visas have different requirements than to become a perm resident. i can tell you IMHO its worse on that side of the journey.

2nd - your remark about terrorists is confusing. you don't think these people are checked & rechecked prior to visa issuance?? Once they are here - you think it would be even more benefical to keep checking them?

Your suggestion to speak out on this issue for me is somewhat muddy. Even you, who are in the same boat as me, are suggesting EXACTLY what bothers me so much about this process. 8 month of security clearance after K1 interview to yield a *clean good guy* only to wind up in namecheck at AOS - your statement about potential terrorists states to me - check, recheck, and recheck again - never enough checks on people from these regions.

ETA : the very reason I haven't supported telling my story is exactly that - i believe many will hear Arab - and say GOOD! check, recheck, etc etc etc

It's also been discussed that effective Jan. 1, 2007, USCIS will not be conducting interviews unless the security clearance is complete. If that comes to pass, I can hardly wait to hear the howling about the incongruities in the process. One will either be transferred to CSC and approved lightning fast with no interview, or linger at the district office level with no interview for ages.

But CSC transfers undergo security checks too. One could end up waiting just as long at CSC as they do to get interviewed.

Have you seen anybody at CSC waiting as long as at other offices, even if namecheck is involved?

It's my opinion that the California cases are being given special treatment including expedite of namecheck.

My husband's case was transferred to CSC. We saw others who sent in their AOS at the same time as us but who did not get transferred get their green cards before him. Of course, there are others who waited longer too. I don't know, I guess I didn't see the large disparity. There a lot of cases that fly through DO's as well.

First of all I have nothing to explain about the fast result of my AOS , and its not right and nice that some of you are attacking me here by the unpleasant words that you are using.

By the way dont attack me if your papers get screwed at the USCIS :lol: , better to call the USCIS instead of making a sentiment here.

FBI Check takes a long process specially if the petitoner/benifiaciary have previous marriage , have kids , annual income is below the poverty line and if have a crime records .

Possible cause of delays too if relationship found not bonafide and suspicious .

Show me where somebody attacked you! People are PO'ed at the injustice and unequal treatment from the USCIS. Don't take it so personally, nobody's mad at you. It's great for you that it all went so fast, but if you had to go through what others are suffering, you would be pissed too! You were just a beneficiary of the USCIS trying to save face after the ####### job they have been doing in recent years! Lucky you!

Although you might want to hold back on insinuating that your case was so fast because everything was so perfect and that other's cases are going through delays because of something they did to cause it. You are very wrong. You should be especially careful about insinuating that it's because their marriage is suspiscious or they are criminals. That'll make you enemies real quick! Oh and your use of smilies sux!

Are you implying that after the interview the namecheck can be held because somebody thinks the relationship is not bonafide and suspicious?

Tell me exactly what it is you know about the interview process. You didn't even have one.

Lets see if you are still if the rumours are correct and you have to undergo your full interview when you file to lift conditions.....

Happy journey....

lol this is the 1st time i have heard namecheck is long especially due to previous marriages, low income, children!

wow - i guess we should have been approved in 10 days because we discount each one of those items!!

Hi , I have nothing to worry about it and why should I ??

Most cases in Philippines , if you GOT NAME CHECK - its more on birth cert like mispelled names and will ask documents from applicants to prove that its same person .

Niagaenola- I have no interview and I have nothing to explain to you .

Good luck to your AOS , dont worry I will update you for the removal of conditions ok .

God Bless and Goodluck

[Kez/JWolf 6]

rhiadraiss..... you maybe got approved really fast but you dont know what you are talking about when it comes to FBI name checks.... stay around the forum and learn but dont try to imply that the poor people who have been caught up in FBI name checks are criminals, have fake marriages or any other of the things in your post... as you have no expirience of these thing it is best left to those who do....

being someone that was transferred to CSC and approved quickly, i truly don't get it. i mean we all know that they are backlogged, but why not clear the backlogged cases? speeding through the new applications does not clear the backlog. (well, maybe it does when you work for the government)

and yes, i know i'm lucky and i do hope everyone waiting gets their approval soon. and i fully expect that we will have an interview when it comes times for removal of conditions which is fine - i expected to have one to get this approval.

i almost wonder if they are speeding through the people like myself that applied for AOS, EAD & AP together and approve quickly and pocket the $$ sent for EAD & AP

By the way FBI Check and Name Check are different .

[Dr_LHA 3]

By the way FBI Check and Name Check are different .

How so? Please provide some evidence for your knowledge on this matter. Perhaps that inside information can get us all approved in 44 days.

[rebeccajo 14]

By the way FBI Check and Name Check are different .

They are?

Actually any checks you had at the K1 level are administered by the consulates under the auspices of the Justice Department. AOS checks are administered by USCIS but conducted by the FBI.

[WifeOHunkyJohn 2]

How did USCIS mistreat your husband?

take a look at our timeline.

10 months between filing and our interview.

7 months stuck in FBI name check.

twice denied the opportunity to go to college because he was "out of status" and couldn't qualify for financial aid or student loans.

we've been unable to qualify for a mortgage.

he's been unable to work and contribute to our household income.

yet, if he'd entered illegally, he would have politicians lining up to hand him instant resident status, not to mention handing out welfare, medicaid, pell grants, in-state tuition, food stamps, section 8 housing...shall i continue??

it's ridiculous that those who follow the rules and do everything the right way spend years and thousands of dollars along the way, at all times being treated as if the ultimate goal of USCIS were to see just how miserable they could make the transition to making the US their home.

and there's not a damn thing we can do about it.

There is something that we all can do. Contact your Senators and Congressman. Annie and I are deeply commited to getting this changed. It is absolute B.S. that our government has these delays. We need to get this fixed. We are deeply offended that they allowed Annie to have the Visa and NOW they decide to take their time to do a "name check." After going through the visa process, the conditional card should come as a matter of course upon the submission of the Marriage Certificate(prvided you are married within the 90 days). The interview to remove the conditions is where everything should be thouroughly vetted for fraud. Frankly it scares me, that we could allow potential terrorists into the country under this loophole.

Please everyone, act locally to affect Globally.

John, what makes you think Annie is caught in namecheck?

We were told.
