Since the law is so new, all in namecheck at the moment are test cases, I personally am just waiting to see what happens with this and whether or not is a fact that they will all clear within 180 days.

Will probably have to wait until someone asks when they are told that they are in namecheck about when the clock starts on it. I have not yet read anything on when that happens only what has been written by the USCIS.

I don't know when the 180 days starts BUT I bet that most will go the full 6 months and then we'll all have to call or make an infopass app. and push them to continue the case.

Our interview was scheduled for 2/27 and cancelled but we went in anyway and were told that our case was held up in the dreaded FBI black hole. The CO we talked to told us about the new law and then looked at something and told us that we should expect an interview by AUGUST. So it looks like at least for us ours didn't start until right when our interview was. BUT he didn't give us an exact date.

Like I said, although I check online every day, I have a feeling that I will be doing this for the next few months and when mid-August arrives, we'll have to push them a bit.

As kim&james stated, "all in namecheck at the moment are test cases", we are all the guinea pigs.

The goal of 180 days is not set to be in full forward motion until Feb 2009, and the way it sounds is 180 days from the receipt date. For now, either your check clears on its own, or you will wait until you hit one of the below benchmarks.

May 2008 Process all name checks pending more than three years

July 2008 Process all name checks pending more than two years

November 2008 Process all name checks pending more than one year

February 2009 Process all name checks pending more than 180 days

June 2009 Process 98 percent of all name checks within 30 days and process the remaining two percent within 90 days

what does this mean?

There are benchmarks posted (or milestones as USCIS states), should they fall behind on the goal processing, they will reevaluate and post new benchmarks. This isnt a "test", this is a new procedure.

A test as in what is stated will happen and what will actually happen. As we have seen here not all go smoothly nor go strictly to the USCIS guidelines on all sorts of things is what I meant. We have not yet really read what is actually happening to real people. Except for 2 who had been waiting for over a year or so.

Do you know something that I don't on this matter? Would you call the fee change a "test"? How is a change in workflow and processing a test?

This is a regulations change. Sure the process might be tweaked, or heck - even scrapped in the future - but as it stands now - this is the reality - based on their posted benchmarks. My husband has been waiting 2.5 years for adjudication - supposedly this will happen by July according to the memo He was refingerprinted in march - out of the blue.

I never said it wasnt reality. I said how it affects real people in real life is going to be the test to see what happens and what effects it has. Where the heck does the fee change come into this or are you trying to turn this into something it isnt??

Im done with this site. Too many elitists and I will join the others who arent in this sites "cool group" and leave to better pastures.
