KAPALM?

[libyloba 0]

Hello everyone here at VJ. Do you guys know what KAPALM is? It has something to do with the new law regarding the FBI background check that was recently put into place. I was told to call the USCIS and tell them to review my husband case under the KAPALM because it’s been away over the processing time and the most recent FBI background check it has taken more than 6 month. I’m just a little confuse as to what the law actually allows for those people that fall under it. What is actually achieve by this new law?

I haven't heard it refered to as KAPALM - but this is the policy change they are talking about:

http://www.uscis.gov/portal/site/uscis/men...00045f3d6a1RCRD

Basically if the Name Check is the only thing holding up your GC (# 485, # I-601, # I-687, # I-698) for more than 180 days after all other conditions/requirements were met, then they'll go ahead and complete your GC processing. If the Name Check does come back adversely, then the GC will be revoked.

Thanks, I went to the link and now I understand a little better about that policy. It's was kind of a long story but I was on the phone inquiring about my sister in law immigration case and I asked the rep a quick question about my husband's. She told me to call back after a month (since we called about a month ago to inquire on the case, we have to wait another month to inquire again) and this time ask for the case to be review under that KAPALM because they are waiting for the FBI background check and it been more than 180 days and it's way outside normal processing time.

On another memo does state that this is their goal to be fully in effect in 2009 and have benchmarks posted on processing.

Is this really your sticking point (meaning the FBI namecheck)? It seems there is some complication in your case where this one change in the regulations really might not help you. Of course I could be misunderstanding what has happened in your case.

On February 1st We went to our 3rd immigration interview and my husband had to go through the FBI check, medical, fingerprints again. I was told by the rep. that the FBI check is still pending so I guess that whats holding on the decision. This is giving gray hair...Waiting in this probationary limbo is really starting to affect our quality of life.
