AOS interview successful, but waiting for FBI name check

[Empress of Groovy 373]

i got married on nov 2006 and applied for i485 jan 2007 and interviewed july 2007 and been approved but fbi name check till now still waiting:(

share experience

Finally.....yesterday I got a email saying my card production has been ordered and a "welcome to the USA" email today......not bad after 2 1/2 yr wait !!!!!!! I still will not hold my breath until the card is in my hot little hand....thanks everyone for giving me encouragement and hope when i needed it!!!!!!

Yay! Congratulations!

My husband's 10-year card arrived yesterday, exactly two weeks after the hallowed e-mail.

I hope you can celebrate this weekend!

congrats that is great news!!!!

we were just told that the march 10 regulation doesn't apply to us since we haven't had an interview. I'm inclined to think the guy doesn't know much and that he's wrong. Nevertheless it is pretty demoralizing.

That sounds odd. A lot of people didn't have interviews who ultimately got a green card.

Maybe you could try the congressional assistance approach? I'm thinking that they can actually help now because USCIS can't give them the FBI backlog excuse anymore.

I hope you get good news soon!

OMG.................... my wife recieved her new welcome letter and its going to be a 10 yr card. Also USCIS send in a seperate letter that there was a admin error and they are going to correct it i cant believe it!!!!!!!!!!! did they just say they were wrong!!!!!!!!!! Anyway they said they recieved her 2 yr card and going to give her a 10 yr one now, because the marriage was over 2yrs old when she became permanent resident they even sent the copy of the marriage certificate we sent them back. Sent in I-90 Feb 06 Weclome letter to America letter Feb29 we will see when she gets her card and we can finally breath from this stuff. So all you that are in Background checks hang in there. There is light at the end of the tunnel even if you have to wait 2.5 yrs like my wife did.

march 10th is just a few days away, why go through additional headache of an infopass at this time?

I hope that everyone will have good news soon.

I have little questions: How can I know if my name ckeck is pending? Another way aside to call FBI??

If everything was OK with the name check, how long will the approval take after being transfered to CSC?

Thank you

Calm down my friend...We are all waiting here. Best thing to do is wait till March 10th and then make an infopass.. Maybe take copy of memo just in case and see if they can stamp the passport..

This USCIS stuff is not really in our hand....No amount of discussion and wise talk is going to help unless you are willing to sue them..Its going to come when its going to come.

congrats this is fantastic news!!! we just received a notice from USCIS asking us to check back on our I-485 in 6 months....as a response to the service request. I'm hoping this was just a typical automated response and that we are in the next batch of approvals!!!!!!

Again CONGRATS!!!

Dated March 3rd'2008

Secretary Chertoff: Three -- two main things. One is, we have to move from a paper-based system to a totally electronically-based system. We still have too much paper, and it's hard to track, it's hard to manage, and it takes a lot of time.

The second piece is, I want to rebuild -- re-engineer the system in a couple of ways. One is, and the most urgent, is to deal with the background check problem. It just takes way too long for the Bureau to complete background checks for a small but a significant number of people. The majority of people -- you know, if the name doesn't pop up on anything in the -- it's pretty quick. But for a small number -- but still significant, and certainly to the individual, significant -- if their name crops up and it's an older case, and it's in a file somewhere, someone has got to hunt it down. And to be perfectly honest, that is not a top priority job for an agent, is to go through an old paper record sitting in a warehouse.

Looking forward as we go electronically, and as the Bureau goes electronically, that problem will diminish. But looking backwards we have to re-engineer the system to be a little tougher. And one of the things we did, for example, with the green cards was we said, for background checks that took longer than six months, we would give you a green card, and then if it turned out the background check later revealed a problem, we would take the green card away.
