| Very Important bill for namecheck introduced in HOUSE! |
|
Here is what I sent to Congresswoman Anna G Eshoo :-
Dear Madam,
This is a request for your support regarding the bill HR 3828 introduced by Rep. Yvette Clarke, D-NY. This Bill was introduced to revamp the "FBI Namecheck Process" for Immigrants to the United States and reduce the turnaround time for the process and at the same time increase security.
According to the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) Ombudsman’s 2007 Annual Report, there were 329,160 name check cases pending in May 2007, which is and increase of 93,358 over the previous year. Many immigrants who are applying for adjustment of status to legal permanent resident, naturalization, asylum, or a waiver end up waiting for months or years for the completion of the name check process.
"The background check program’s enormous backlog poses an unacceptable burden on people whose lives are on hold, and it also leads to a national security risk,” Levin said. “Approximately 31,000 cases have been pending for at least 33 months. If these individuals are a security threat, we must know that sooner rather than later.”
Please support the Bill HR 3828.
Thanks.
Sincerely,
|
