Hello Pkash

You most likely will not speak with an I/o by calling the 800 "misinformation line. They will lie and tell you that they are. (outside contractors many times)

Once you pass 180 days, Go online and make an infopass appointment to see about finalizing to get your greencard based on new ruling.

Best wishes.

let us know how you made out

if iam right the the FBI background check starts from the day i fingerprinted , right!!!then it has been 180 days by yesterday

i just had an infopass yesterday, if i get another infopass for say, in next two days will it be a problem?do i need to wait longer for naother appointment?

[pkash]

any suggestions please, really pissed off after infopass appointment, called the 1-800 number today, the IO started reading case status online which is not updated for last 5 months, i told him, i had a interview last month, would like to know the status, he put me on hold, came back after couple of minutes told me wait 90 days and give us a call back....

i am going to write to ombudsman tomorrow another option is Infopasss, as i said earlier i had infopass yesterday, is it ok to schedule one more so soon....

A friends son was finger printed in May 2007, he was interviewed by the Immigration Officer on November 07, 2007.
The young boy is still waiting.
You are asking for suggestion, What you can expect from the government agency?

I had my finger prints done mid July, so my FBI name check has been pending for more than 180 days now. I had an interview mid October and was told case can not be approved due to FBI name check.

I made an info pass appointment on March 3rd. I will keep my fingers crossed to see what will happen to me.

The 180 days starts when USCIS asks for the FBI name check. This date is known only to CIS, and is almost impossible to obtain. Good luck...

i just had an infopass on 25th , can i get one more infopass so soon, on my last visit the IO had no info abt my case NADA, NIL, ZIlch

this is time am planning to go with new memo which talks abt 180 days..

My wife filed in Feb 2006. and her case still yet to be finalized. hope this will help out

I went for infopass on March3rd. Again, the officer told me to wait another 60 days. He told me about this new USCIS policy and confirmed with me that my fbi name check has been pending since september 2007. Anyway, for all the 3 hours driving to USCIS, one hour waiting in USCIS, the outcome was hearing "Wait for another 60 days".

I don't really know whether using infopass interview will ever help on our cases.

Good luck to everyone who is stuck with FBI name checking. God Bless them.

the new memo states that they are going to resolve most of the cases by March 15th and contact them by March 10th , if we dont hear any updates on the case...
