eh cuz i feel like posting it.. probably already been posted

NNCP Process Step-by-Step:

- Agency/entity submission to the FBI’s NNCP. Submissions are accepted via magnetic tape, hard copy, telephone, or fax.

- Electronic “batch” submissions are searched against the UNI. The majority of the batch names are electronically returned as “no record” with 48-72 hours. A “no record” indicates that the UNI database contains no identifiable information regarding a particular individual. The UNI is searched for “main files”, files where the name of an individual is the subject of an FBI investigation, and for “reference files”, files where the name being searched is just mentioned in an investigation.

- A secondary “manual” search of residuals from the batch run identifies an additional number of names as a “no record” response.

- The remaining paper files and/or electronic files are reviewed to ensure they are germane to the name check request.

- Identifiable files are then analyzed for relevant or derogatory information that may be disseminated to the requesting agency/entity. Approximately 1 percent of the requests are determined to contain possible derogatory information. If applicable, the NNCP forwards a summary of the information to the submitting agency/entity.

My 129 form was touched today since a long silence. 485 still pending FBI name check. What does this touch mean?

Hi, I posted a while ago as I'm in the same boat as all of you: interview date Sept 05 and still pending a background check. I did have a useful chat with a helpline person, who contacted Baltiomore (my service center) and asked them to look into things. I got a letter the other day from Baltimore saying the same thing, that I was pending a name check. They also said to contact them in 6 months if nothing has changed.

I'm actually still unsure if I passed the interview because I had to submit some extra evidence. It seems like they won't tell me if am okay until the FBI check clears. I think it stinks!

We are still waiting for FBI Namecheck after being told we passed our interview in April 2005.

I called USCIS three times in the past couple of months to inquire about this. Once they said they would email the FBI and try to find out what was holding it up. The next two times they just said it was pending and there was nothing they or I could do about it.

I got the email address by calling the main office of the FBI in Washington DC and emailed them a couple of months ago. No reply so far.

But, this week we received a letter telling us to report to the local FBI office for fingerprinting on August 7. We had our fingerprinting/biometrics appointment in October 2004 at USCIS.

Were we being held up because the FBI needs their own fingerprints? Did the others expire? Is the need for fingerprints what was holding up the namecheck?

I haven't got a clue.

Fingerprints do expire after 15 months, and apparently it does no good to email/fax/mail/call the FBI... they put out a memo that they will no longer accept inquiries.

About FBI clearance: I used to work at a race-track, and to get employed there (regulated by the feds) we had our fingerprints taken and a background check was submitted to the FBI. Do you think that will help when the time comes for the background check?
