Sorry if this has already been covered, but I am wondering if anyone waiting for namechecks to be completed was given a phone number in order to inquire about status. At the interview we were told that there was nothing we could do except wait , it would take between 2 weeks and 2 years! Thanks in advance .

Well, I don't know of anyone being given a phone number.

Our office gave us an e-mail address for correspondence with them, which seems to be a pretty rare courtesy.

To all of those still waiting for the FBI name check, please make sure that you received the confirmation status e-mail and/or on-line status update stating that your biometrics had been recd and processing will continue. This should have been updated within a few weeks after your initial biometrics appointment.

If you did not receive the update after biometrics (or even if you did!) PLEASE call the FBI fingerprint status number (I believe it is 1-304-625-2000 but it may have changed) and request status. This is to make sure your BIOMETRICS was received. (not your name check) The FBI still gives status on biometrics, but not on namechecks.

I sincerely believe that the delay for Carina was due to the biometrics being "lost"or done incorrectly, and her file just sat on a desk until I contacted several people to have the delay looked into. Once I did that her namecheck was requested, and then new fingerprints ordered and then she had her approval.

The reason I noticed this is because my wife DID get the update after biometrics (and she was approved at the interview) while Carina did NOT get the update (biometrics were the same day as her mother's) and unknowingly we waited for 11 months for an approval thinking it was the namecheck that was the problem, when in my opinion the actual problem was the "missing" biometrics.

I am not saying the relation between the biometrics and namecheck is the reason for all the delays, but I really think it is worth checking into.

Good Luck to all.

Dave

Thanks to all for the guidance and support and speedy processing to all!

that is not necessarily the case. A memorandum came out effective 9/1/06 that local offices no longer provide interim EAD's, however its not that cut and dry. Some offices have been reported as stating effective 10/1/06 and some offices will still give you an interim. Mostly I have seen (based on posts in the EAD forum) people being turned away.

ah...well, that's lovely. this is me, standing corrected.

we have an infopass appointment scheduled again next week...on Oct. 3rd...just because by then we will be more than 45 days since they told us we were through name check and the welcome letter was on its way. the waiting....it's getting old.
