On June 11, the CIS Ombudsman issued his 2007 Annual Report to Congress. Heres the link to the 145-page report:

Of particular concern to many of you would be Ombudsman's comments about FBI name checks which are listed on page 37 of this report.

May God help us all in overcoming this hurdle!

Good Lord, no wonder a lot of us wait.....and wait.....and wait......!

I will agree with that. When you see the percentages of people still waiting after a year or even still waiting after 33 months it does make you concerned. I am only in my 5th month of waiting. Not too encouraging to think I may have a year or three left to wait.

My husband had an intial interview in February of 2006. His case was in AR, which I am assuming this is when the FBI name checks and all are done, for over a year. He did not have his 601 interview until June 12th of this year! Of course we were never given any reason for the continous delay!
