questions about name check

[alongwaiter 0]

My husband's PD is 08/07/2016. FO is San Francisco. His case was delayed by background check. If his background check was clear now. He would need to wait in line from beginning even behind 2017 April filer? or there is other rule to follow?  then when will be his interview date?

 

Thank you so much for any input!

I talked to the local office , they told me once the FBI done for the name check ,they will schedule as soon as possible because everyone else is done already. so it will based on your file date.

Terrible processing time for SFFO. We have been waiting like 7 months to get this process done and we are still continuing keeped waiting on nothing... 

I am very disappointed and pretty much frustrated.

As the name suggests, Priority Date determines your priority for scheduling the interview. In smaller offices it doesn't really matter because virtually there is not much waiting but in backlogged offices like NYC, SFO, HOU, DAL, etc having an earlier PD would help to get a interview date faster once the background check clears.
