WS, Imran.

I am actually also considering taking an infopass to figure out where does my case stand but I was not sure if they would tell me about name check and stuff but looking at ur post it seems like they do tell you the status.

So I might take the infopass. I am also hoping to get through this process soon inshAllah. Lets hope for the best and May Allah bless us all :)

How long does it take at the infopass appointment. Did you go to the Atlanta office?

AOA Imran,

Have you taken any measures so far to expedite your name check? I am also stuck in name check since Nov 2006. Here on this forum I see a few Pakistanis getting quick approvals, so there is a bit of a hope :)

Are you watching soft 485 LUDs through online login based case access that USCIS has through its web site. I have a similar long standing case and had a 485 soft LUD on 3/10/2008 and 3/11/2008. You can still go online, setup your account, and check the last date of 485 activity on your file.

AOA Imran,

InshAllah you will be getting your green card soon :). LUDs are normally a good sign!

A couple of my friends from Pakistan got their Green cards last week and they were stuck in name check as well, like I was. There cases were also in Texas center. So inshAllah you will get green card soon as well. One thing that I have noticed lately is that USCIS is becoming more active. I remember in 2006 when I joined Trackitt I would hardly see one or two approvals in a week but now u see approvals everyday :)

Hi Imran,

I am from Pakistan
EB3 - March 2005

I took an infopass on Apr 9,08(NY) the IO told me that my name check was cleared and the file was send to an examiner in TSC. After 4 weeks I called TSC and they said my case is still in Name check.

No LUD since Sep 2007 (FP)

Dear Imranhussaini,

I was told in early april that my case is with an AO, name check not necessary after new memo.
I am still waiting........requested US Senator (OK) to initiate a status inquiry last week.
I am goingh to wait for about 2 more months and if I dont hear until then I am thinking of WOM.
There were good number of approvals last week and so.
I hope it will come soon.
take care
