name check

[allien]

I'm sure people ask this all the time, but I been in a name check for 18 months now and still nothing, just curious should I do something or is there something I can do.

Thanks

Really not much you can do except:

1) Regularly visit your local USCIS office or check the website online for updates

2) Get either USCIS to instigate a case status inquiry, or better still, go through the USCIS Ombudsman.

3) Most likely, you will get a "sit and wait, we'll give you an interview when the name-check clears" answer.

4) If all else fails (very likely!), you can file a Writ of Mandamus on US Government.

Good luck. Sounds like you and I filed about the same time. Mine was for N-400 in June 2006.

I made an appointment with USCIS local office today for Monday 7th.
I went to the interview with my wife and the officer said all we have to do now is a name check and that was 18 months ago.
