Hey guys and gals, just so everybody knows: there is no FBI Name Check on N-400 apps.

This is done when you apply for green card or travel document, but not when you apply for N-400.

In fact N-400 has total of 4 checks (unless USCIS decides to do more), and those are:

CBP TECS

DCII

DD214

DOJ FBI FIngerprint (not a name check)

CBP TECS is to check your border crossing records. DOJ FBI is self evident. I am not sure what DDII and DD214 checks are , but I think both are Defence Department related.

This only reinforces my earlier assumption that getting your interview notice late may have nothing to do with name check or real security concern.

Somehting as trivial as your FB being rejected by FBI (for poor quality) can delay your application for months, because once your app falls off conveyor and down through the cracks it's really like falling off the airplane over the Ocean.

Also, FBI , for all the blame it gets on delays, is actually very efficient organisation in comparison to USCIS,and I believe if N-400 were entirely handled by FBI there would less delays in Naturalization process.

Almost 2 months after my FP I have no change on my app status. Online case status still says "On XX XX XXXX we received your application for N-400....", not a single LUD since biometrics.

I am not one of those passive immigrants from cultures where people are used to perceive bureaucrats as Olympian Gods existing to have fun watching our misery while one humbly bows down to them in hopes of mercy. For all practical purposes, inside my head, I am American, and I look at government as entity which is there to serve and to protect us, not to randomly bully, intimidate and cause undue hardship to innocent people. I would take USCIS to Federal Court and sue it in no time, if I had a legal ground to do so. But, I guess they have to screw it really bad ,may be not send me an interview notice for the 6 months to a year after the cut off date their website reports as the date when the last case was processed by USCIS (or at least 15-18 months from now in Baltimore district). So, this means there is not much if anything I can do except uselessly getting myself frustrated dealing with an organisation which is less responsive to inquiry than a monumental stone wall.

I suggest those of you who visit this thread and are in similar situation like me share your experiences (almost two months after FP with no "in line to schedule interview", while almost everyone who had biometrics after had their status change, with some already scheduled or already having gone to interview).

Best,

N400Applicant

How about this?

C. FBI Name Checks​

The FBI conducts “name checks” on all naturalization applicants, and disseminates the information contained in the FBI’s files to USCIS in response to the name check requests. The FBI’s National Name Check Program (NNCP) includes a search ​against​ the FBI’s Universal Index (UNI), which contains personnel, administrative, applicant, and criminal files compiled for law enforcement purposes. The FBI disseminates the information contained in the FBI’s files to USCIS in response to the name check requests.​

The FBI name check must be completed and cleared before an applicant for naturalization is scheduled for his or her naturalization interview. A definitive FBI name check response of “NR” (No Record) or “PR” (Positive Response) is valid for the duration of the application for which they were conducted.​Definitive responses used to support other applications are valid for 15 months from the FBI process date.​A new name check is required in cases where the final adjudication and naturalization ​have ​not occurred within that timeframe​ or the name check was processed incorrectly​.​

And this?

Look at page 25, Appendix B. It also has glossary of terms (now I know what DDII and DD214 stand for, neither is applicable unless one had served in military).

==================================================

First Amendment and separation of Church from State has a lot more to it than most of our contemporaries realize.

The truth is, the Pilgrims were Puritan fascists who were only looking for their
own
religious freedom. They were too ... independent and fanatical even for the more mainstream zealots of English and European Reformations. They called themselves “Puritans” because they were dedicated to
purifying
the Church of England of Roman influences. They
hated
Rome and they
hated
heretics, and they
hated
sinners and they really hated
witches
. Their reigning English King, James I was also a foaming Protestant Scottish witch hunter, and was every bit as fanatical as the Pilgrims were, since they were all theological soul mates. But James I actually had to sophisticate himself a bit, particularly stifling his witch-hating fanaticism when he took power in England. He had to accommodate the more moderate and educated Protestantism that then still held great sway in his English Court and Parliament. This social moderation at home however, didn’t slow him from encouraging the exportation of sharp, Puritan zeal to his growing colonies in the New World though, where raw Puritanism would be free to dominate the new society he intended to found there.

I say with very little exaggeration, that living under Puritan rule in the New England American Colonies would be nearly as religiously oppressive as living under the Taliban in Afghanistan, or Wahhabi ruled Saudi Arabia. The principle difference between Sharia Law and Pilgrim Law would be that the Pilgrims let women show
puritan-whipping_thumb.jpg?w=244&h=244

their whole faces in public. the Puritans in particular on the other hand, weren’t all that put off by the Inquisition’s tactics or even goals in and of themselves. The Puritans and many other Reformers in truth just wanted the Inquisitional zeal applied unilaterally up and down the Church ranks from clergy to commoner. They just didn’t think you should be able to buy or politic your way out of being tortured into a confession of heresy. They figured that kings, Popes and bishops and priests were just as good candidates for heresy as anyone else—the more the merrier. Puritans in short, actually wanted
more
repression and
more
micromanaging of the Body of Christ. They wanted the power to institute the same sort of fanatical purification of Christendom that the Inquisition only
pretended
to enforce, and then only selectively, often for personal, social, or political reasons. The Puritans wanted their newly cleansed Protestant Inquistition to be
universally
applied to all Christians of whatever rank. The Puritans wanted
everyone
to be beaten into piety whatever his station in the Church or society– they just wanted to insure it was being done fairly and correctly by a dictatorial theocracy of their
own
design.We read about the Salem Witch trials, some decades after the Pilgrims landed, and think that hanging nineteen men and women as witches on the say-so of a couple of snotty little girls looking for attention was a fluke carried out by an isolated, small group of inbred fanatics. We think the old man they crushed under stones for refusing to submit to their trials was the result of some abnormal paranoia due to the bunker mentality of a pioneer colony in a harsh new land. When we read about the dozens of fellow colonists they just let rot in jail for months as they queued them up for their American Inquisition, we assume that this sort of fiendish treatment had to be the product of some sort of atypical mass mental illness brought about through a bad diet and not enough sunlight. But no,
that’s what Puritans did

But I may stand corrected. I did not read the whole booklet, only a portion where it describes IO processing applications and Appendix B.

Upon closer look, it appears to be a manual for overseas operations.

However, it still gives a good glimpse at what security checks your N-400 can go through and how it's actually done by USCIS (there is a lot of mention of manual entry of information by USCIS, about method of response of agencies, by email and etc. And "manual entry" always equals to an increase of a chance someone somewhere will screw it. It's a human factor).

I seriously doubt FBI name check is a culprit and to blame for the delay in majority of cases that fall through the cracks. As I wrote earlier, it's efficient agency. It usually responds to USCIS within 2 days , even when USCIS keeps your app pending for 10 months and people think it's name check related. Some other variables are at play, and we will never know precisely what since USCIS effectively gets full immunity from accountability under the pretext of security needs. And those in charge of oversight at Congress usually usually grill and beat down DHS heads for processing cases too fast and efficiently.

Remember just few years ago USCIS made a serious attempt to bring all case processing under the uniform timeline (under 5 months)? You know, there actually was a period of time when they made an enormous leap forward and at some point it seemed USCIS would be processing all of the applications in weeks. Then backlogs, delays and lags started all over. In between I accidentally watched C-SPAN, and you should have seen how much ire and anger some Congressmen had because DHS wasn't sufficiently delaying processing of the apps.

Hi all,

Those who have received their interview letters (congratulations, by the way): did you all receive an email informing you that your interview had been schedule prior to receiving the letter itself?

Thanks,

R.R.

We got both a text and an email. Of course, they're useless because only the letter contains your date.

I looked it up, both checks are for former military service personnel. You basically fill out I-426 and give USCIS permission to search DoD records. The check is not applicable to those who never served in US military. Besides, the link to guide I have posted appears to be for overseas operations. Sorry for all the confucsion.

I don't know if it's the same in this context, but the DD214 is a military discharge - since one of the paths to citizenship is by serving, it's the proof that you served.

Got email and text today that my wife's interview is scheduled.

My case still shows "Case was received On August 6, 2015, we received your Form N-400, Application for Naturalization". We both did the finger prints at the same time, 5 mins apart on 9/3 and filed applications together. I have requested a name change, will that cause delay in scheduling the interview. I thought it does not matter, only Oath gets delayed because of name change. Can I check with USCIS to see what's going on with my application or Just wait ??

MyN400, I am on the same boat.

The way USCIS works is: if you go on their own website (which they haven't updated since July 31,2015), you will see that at that time (07/31/15) the last case they worked on was filed in November of 2014. They don't post most updated information, so you have only July 31,2015 report to rely upon.

If you call or schedule an InfoPass with USCIS, they will tell you that they are currently working on cases filed on November, 2014, and your case is well within the normal time-frame. If you say everyone you know of had been scheduled for interview, thy will say "each case is unique and different".

From legal stand point all you can do is wait. But, practically speaking, you can create blogs, facebook page, post on public forums and constantly update public of your ongoing case status. At very least you can help to create awareness of the issue. Internet is one of the greatest advantages and tools we have in 21 century, somehow it turned out to be one of the best means of meaningfully engaging and exercising your First Amendment rights in democratic society.

Good luck!

Reporting for duty; my interview letter has arrived (Notice date October 14th, but I know that isn't recorded below). Since it'll be on the 19th it's a little later into November than I truly wanted (by about a week), but beggars can't be choosers. It's certainly... a nice, early appointment for that day (groan!). I guess that means a nice Christmas-y Oath Ceremony? So there's that.

Also, updated Eaton Inside's Interview date... unless you do actually plan on having it in late 2016? Hah.

On a minor side note, I notice Boston slightly screwed the order of my address up (the usual 'Address 2' line above the 'Address 1' part in this letter). Not really a big deal, since it's all still there, and the interview address at the JFK building is also switched around, so I guess it's just the way they roll.

Attorney tells when it's time to kick some arrogant little bureacrat's rear end :joy::dance:

Hopefully, none of those who read it will need it, but I will be periodically updating this board of successful Court cases where immigrants brought another bureaucrat to Federal Court and won the case by humiliating an arbitrary arrogace of another fool who thought he or she is above the Law.

==================================================

First Amendment and separation of Church from State has a lot more to it than most of our contemporaries realize.

The truth is, the Pilgrims were Puritan fascists who were only looking for their
own
religious freedom. They were too ... independent and fanatical even for the more mainstream zealots of English and European Reformations. They called themselves “Puritans” because they were dedicated to
purifying
the Church of England of Roman influences. They
hated
Rome and they
hated
heretics, and they
hated
sinners and they really hated
witches
. Their reigning English King, James I was also a foaming Protestant Scottish witch hunter, and was every bit as fanatical as the Pilgrims were, since they were all theological soul mates. But James I actually had to sophisticate himself a bit, particularly stifling his witch-hating fanaticism when he took power in England. He had to accommodate the more moderate and educated Protestantism that then still held great sway in his English Court and Parliament. This social moderation at home however, didn’t slow him from encouraging the exportation of sharp, Puritan zeal to his growing colonies in the New World though, where raw Puritanism would be free to dominate the new society he intended to found there.

I say with very little exaggeration, that living under Puritan rule in the New England American Colonies would be nearly as religiously oppressive as living under the Taliban in Afghanistan, or Wahhabi ruled Saudi Arabia. The principle difference between Sharia Law and Pilgrim Law would be that the Pilgrims let women show
puritan-whipping_thumb.jpg?w=244&h=244

their whole faces in public. the Puritans in particular on the other hand, weren’t all that put off by the Inquisition’s tactics or even goals in and of themselves. The Puritans and many other Reformers in truth just wanted the Inquisitional zeal applied unilaterally up and down the Church ranks from clergy to commoner. They just didn’t think you should be able to buy or politic your way out of being tortured into a confession of heresy. They figured that kings, Popes and bishops and priests were just as good candidates for heresy as anyone else—the more the merrier. Puritans in short, actually wanted
more
repression and
more
micromanaging of the Body of Christ. They wanted the power to institute the same sort of fanatical purification of Christendom that the Inquisition only
pretended
to enforce, and then only selectively, often for personal, social, or political reasons. The Puritans wanted their newly cleansed Protestant Inquistition to be
universally
applied to all Christians of whatever rank. The Puritans wanted
everyone
to be beaten into piety whatever his station in the Church or society– they just wanted to insure it was being done fairly and correctly by a dictatorial theocracy of their
own
design.We read about the Salem Witch trials, some decades after the Pilgrims landed, and think that hanging nineteen men and women as witches on the say-so of a couple of snotty little girls looking for attention was a fluke carried out by an isolated, small group of inbred fanatics. We think the old man they crushed under stones for refusing to submit to their trials was the result of some abnormal paranoia due to the bunker mentality of a pioneer colony in a harsh new land. When we read about the dozens of fellow colonists they just let rot in jail for months as they queued them up for their American Inquisition, we assume that this sort of fiendish treatment had to be the product of some sort of atypical mass mental illness brought about through a bad diet and not enough sunlight. But no,
that’s what Puritans did
.
