Hot topic - SECURITY REVIEW
Hello everyone who got stuck in security review,
If your case is pending for an unusual time, it is because of the FBI security review. Some people use the term "name check" -- which is incorrect. Once again, security review is more elaborate that name check.
There is a big difference. Most of us have gotten our name check done, it is usually done and the results are sent back to CIS within a few weeks the application is filed. But to tell you that, in response to the email you send to FBINNCP, FBI takes 5 or 6 months. Often times, people think their name check is not complete, the reality is, it is complete, but FBI is so slow in responding to your email. If I am not mistaken, they stopped responding to those emails recently.
My question is, does anyone know who is responsible for the security review process at FBI ?. Is this the following person ?
David M. Hardy
Section Chief
Record/Information Dissemination Section
Records Management Division
If so, we need to contact him.
From what I researched so far, writ mandamus (fancy/legal term for lawsuit!) might get things done, but I dont think one would want to spend another 2 or 3 grand on that, plus nobody knows the outcome, the worst case being CIS denying your application.
Lets all work toward a common goal. Our voice needs to be heard.
I googled and found this interesting article on security review, especially read "false hits". I am afraid thats exactly what we are under at this point:

UPDATE:
found another one similar to above, read "Department of State Advises on Name “Hits” in the FBI’s NCIC Database"

Please count me in. Let every one stucked in security checking count his name here, and lets all speak out......
EB3 NSC Concurrent
I-140/I-485 RD January, 2003 - Pending
Me too. If you are stuck with a security review at NSC, what happens if you file I-140 at another center. Will the application gets stuck again?
Does these security checks impact H1 extension? Will we able to get H1 extended with pending security checks?
