AOS interview successful, but waiting for FBI name check

[huskerfan 0]

I am so frustrated,depressed ,sad again and again-waiting for FBI name check to be completed since December,2005.....and still nothing:(((They supposed to complete check from 2 weeks to 2 months(that's what they saying in their site),but what about people who is waiting 2 years and more??What should they do?Nobody can help,just to sit and wait??How long?Is there anybody who waited this check done more then 2-3 -4((((years?

I totally understand. I lost a dream job cause I don't have a green card. EAD won't do it. Its been 38 months now and still waiting. I've really have just tried to move on with my life and not let it get to me. At least they are still approving my EADs. I wish I could be more helpful. Tired of talking to the senators, getting excited and nothing happens. I even try to stay away from these forums. It just plain sucks.

I understand your frustration SO WELL, cause I've been stuck in the same name check myself since July 2005 (as you can see, it's been a little longer for me - of course, nothing to be "proud" of). As they say - "they are supposed to (and that's what we would expect them to do for us in return for our money and patience) but not obliged to" I know it sounds kind of harsh, but they've proven it by "their" attitude to so many people going through this nerve-wrecking process. Actually, according to the "them" (and I've been told that many times), they do not have this certain time frame yet (though, hopefully, this is going to change soon, Congress is pressing to reduce the wait for the name check to no more than 120 days, I pray this law will pass soon, I really wouldn't want to be stuck in it for another two years or so) when it comes to the name\background check so, basically, it can take them as much time as they want to spend on it with little or no regard to our feelings and frustration whatsoever. I know one lady (I actually met her in our local office not so long ago), and she's been stuck in her name check for almost FIVE YEARS, I thought it was rather "funny" because she's 80 YEARS OLD, and she's from the UK, no criminal past or anything of that nature (moved to this country to be with her daughter), has a pretty common name and still she's like us still waiting and hanging on. I don't know, but the longer I wait, the more I get to think that it may end soon - I mean, I'm hoping so.

I also lost the opportunity to have my "dream" job last year, my EAD didn't "impress" the "perspective" empoyers, I'm still really upset about it, but there's nothing I can do about it Just waiting as usual...............................

It is really VERY SAD....I hope for all of you guys to get this GC as soon as possible.That's really sucks to hear that some people waiting 3 years and MORE I have no words.......sit and wait......and pray to GOD..???

Thank you guys for your support,I really appreciate this,I very depressed about this process,all of my friends who came from the same country and living shorter time here then me already got their GC

I hear you. I know a bunch of people who came not only from the same country as I did (and even though they had come to this country before I did, nonetheless, I applied for the AOS looong before them all), but also from the same city, and we even used to go to the same school together (what a coincidence, huh?)...............so we share the same background, have the same age (have different names, of course), but the point is that it didn't take very long to check them (they all got their green cards pretty much within a year period) and it's taking forever to check me!? I did however change my last name while still in my home country, because we got married there, but again I don't think there are a lot of people in my home town with the same double last name as mine, this is just plain ridiculous. Good luck to you too! And hang on, we will get this freaking green card, don't know when, but we will...................oh, I'm feeling so optimistic today for some reason...................that's weird.....but I guess, it's just one of my "better" days.

Just being curious and seeing if everyone else in namecheck has the same status when checking your receipt number on the uscis.gov website

Application Type: I485, APPLICATION TO REGISTER PERMANENT RESIDENCE OR TO ADJUST STATUS

Current Status: Response to request for evidence received, and case processing has resumed

This is the only message ever that we got since 2005! never mentions due to FBI namecheck of course.

[LaL 418]

Everyone goes through namecheck - and probably since it is a process that is *not* necessarily USCIS's it is a nuance that is not itemized on the website.

My online verbiage stated "this interview has been cancelled" until June 07, now it is simply "pending at NBC".

At some point last year, my husband's I-485 online status information changed to say that the case was at the National Benefits Center. This was after the interview. It's been so long now, I can't remember what it said before that. I didn't receive an e-mail. The current status is "case received and pending," which I think has been unchanged since January 2006.

Oy!!!

This is what the uscis.gov website says about my status:

Current Status: Case received and pending.

On June 21, 2005, we received this I485 APPLICATION TO REGISTER PERMANENT RESIDENCE OR TO ADJUST STATUS, and mailed you a notice describing how we will process your case. Please follow any instructions on this notice. We will notify you by mail when we make a decision or if we need something from you. If you move while this case is pending, call customer service. We process cases in the order we receive them. You can use our processing dates to estimate when yours will be done. This case is at our NATIONAL BENEFITS CENTER location. Follow the link below to check processing dates. You can also receive automatic e-mail updates as we process your case. Just follow the link below to register.

The notice they're talking about was my RFE (at least I believe so) which I sent back of course, but they never updated this fact on the website even after they had received it (the last "touch" was on July 26, 2006 and it was prier to receiving a RFE which I got on Aug 18, 2006, I don't know, maybe it took that many days to arrive into our mailbox!?). I actually didn't receive any response from them right away and after 3 months of waiting I sent an inquiry to our local office - during our interview we were given this piece of paper and told that if my green card didn't come within three or four months from the date of the interview then we could send it to them and they would send us some sort of response as to why nothing was coming. So I sent that piece of paper and again - no response, we waited about a month and then made an infopass appointment, there we were told that my case was still pending the completion of the FBI name check and as of that day's date the FBI name check was still pending. As a matter of fact we were lucky (if you can call it that way) to be able to talk to the same person who conducted our interview (as soon as I saw her literally passing by there was nothing that could stop us from talking to her hehe, we basically jumped up on her) and took care of my case, we gave her my A number and the receipt number and "reminded" her of that "inquiry" piece of paper that I had sent to their office, so she promised to send a response that same very day which we got the next day, but there was nothing new other than telling us that they had indeed received all requested documents and the I-485 was still pending due to the FBI name check:( Nothing new since then..........................

Our case has the same wording, verbatim (just a different date), and we never received an RFE. We also made numerous inquiries, none of which affected the touch date. It does seem like a random thing sometimes, the touch.

It still boggles my mind how they randomly "touch" cases, it would be nice to see something new there though - at least as a reminder that your case hasn't been forgotten, I'm kind of sick of seeing the same thing over and over again for months and months.................don't even check it anymore, don't see the point

to tell u the truth i dont think they are touching any cases anymore. of course our AOS hasnt been touched since feb. 2005 and it still reads...ur fingerprints have been recieved and work continues on this case. that was a year before the interview that we got that one. alot changed after that...interview cancelled, interview rescheduled but it never changed on their website.

also we applied for another EAD and it came in one month but the online status never changed from we recieved you case and work continues on it.

so i dont think they are updating anything.

[Donna A 4]

well i finally dug out the letter i got from the ombudsman today to figure out when i should have heard from them. i kept thinking the 45 days they told me was the middle of sept. i was wrong it was the end of july so here another month has passed after the 45 days and still nothing. the letter said contact them if we dont hear from them in 45 days. i emailed them. actually and im surprised i got a reply. it said its in its final stages so give them 2 more weeks to reply. if i dont hear from them contact them again.

thats just wonderful...havent i waited long enough?
