State ID he has. One so far : First Advantage. Another job he had earlier in the year utilized them and he had to wait out 31 days this other job he's got uses the same one and they are having trouble again.

My company uses HireRight for employee background check. They were not able to verify my SSN. Turns out they were using a e-verify SSN service that can verify only SSNs that are issued before 2011. The HR department of my company requested for my SSN Card. Never run any issues after that.

I have a related experience with First Advantage, although it’s not an immigration issue.
 
I (U.S. citizen) had an IT consulting company for more than 15 years, which finally folded a couple years ago. After closing the doors, I was looking for a regular job, and the pattern I ran into was that I’d have a great interview with a hiring manager who would  extend an offer that I’d accept. They’d start a background check as part of the onboarding process (I’ve passed dozens of background checks during my career, so this seemed like a formality).  Then weeks would go by without anyone giving me a start date.
 
What I found out was happening was that First Advantage told the hiring employer that they were unable to verify my employment history because there was no one left at my employer. And because I couldn’t pass the background check, the offer was withdrawn.
 
After this happened a couple of times, I tried to explain the situation to First Advantage and gave them official documents showing that I was the president of the corporation, etc. They verbally told me that they would pass me based on those documents, but they evidently told the employer the opposite because the offer was again withdrawn due to the background check. So, it seems that I am no longer employable in corporate IT as a result of First Advantage’s verification policies.  
 
I’m not sure what the take away is from this since my situation probably isn’t super common, but it’s easy for me to believe that something as common as an immigrant’s SSN might trip up First Advantage’s inflexible process.

This should be the name of this thread

Yaeh, except trump has nothing to do with how good the job market is. He is, however, responsible for screwing it up as we speak.

No. It's not on a mandated timeline. It is about having your records with SSA accurate. They have nothing to do with immigration and don't have any "punishment" ability if you never change. It is to your benefit to have your name and number accurate for future benefits, matching employer records who submit payments to your account, and IRS things.  My wife knew a teacher who had worked an entire career as "Nancy" but her SSA record was her birth name Ella. She had a right difficult time claiming retirement and getting  documentation to prove Nancy and Ella were the same person. Just wait until he is a citizen if you can't manage the time to go now. You are advised to wait 10 working days after getting the naturalization certificate for DHS to update the record in the SAVE database, which SSA and my DMV both use to verify. You take the certificate in,  but they still have to find you in the database. 
 
It is a pain for sure. We found a little rural office in a small town outside the big city. Got seen immediately on a Friday afternoon right before closing.  We were traveling that way for another purpose and popped in. Got lucky.  We had gone to our closest office once and it was such a nightmare, we turned around and walked out.

None. My wife barely updated her SSA records 5 months ago with her LPR status. She has been a LPR since 2000.

Oh please, both reasons are nonsense. Neither Trump nor the GC have anything to do with it. My wife has never contacted SS since getting her GC in 2015 and hasn't ever encountered any problems with a background check. I've lost count how many jobs she's had since getting her EAD (then GC). 
 
OP- I think your husband just has bad luck unfortunately. Also, some companies are more thorough, some are more incompetent, etc. My own employer takes about a month to do the basic background checks for new hires.
 
 

Sorry didn't know the status quo was to wait 31 days for a background check to clear for a job that doesn't even require a college degree.

The UK Border Patrol can not see your American records and they will not ask about traffic violations. 

Oops. Looks like UK isn't part of Schengen agreement.

I guess it was just the 18 month extension!😢

Yep, exactly. 

I got hired before I got my Greencard, I only had my EAD at that time. So I did check option 4, and wrote down the expiration date of my EAD. It is illegal to not hire someone because their work authorization documents have an expiration date. But in his case, he should just check option 3 because he is still a permanent resident.

Are you talking about the option 4 on the form? it is not for your husband. He is a permanent resident. He would choose the option 3. A lawful permanent resident (Alien Registration Number/USCIS Number). There he can put his USCIS# which is on his GC. 

Just a friendly reminder to everyone, you should really create or update your timeline. Writing a message saying I'm approved or whatever doesn't help us in any way if we have no idea when you filed, where and how many applications you have standing.. In my eyes, a big part of the reason we're here is to try to get some information as of where is USCIS is as far as processing times. If you don't want to create a timeline, at least put some information in your signature.

Nope, it does not apply to those who already filed and did their biometrics. It is for the new applicants. 

Well, come back queen. How was the royal wedding? Is Prince Harry your biological son? I am sure you enjoyed it. The U.K immigration is pretty fast, unlike the U.S. I am so happy to see you back I have missed you. 

Yeah he called them and filed a dispute. They said it'll take up to 30 days to correct. Job said they'll hold his position till its fixed but I've read this background check company is notorious for being wrong with background checks and screwing innocent people out of jobs. So do you think a lawyer is necessary for this??

I went on the Kansas department of corrections and found the guy. Same name and birth date. He looks completely different from my husband. And the first 5 digits of his social are the same as my husbands. I called our old immigration attorney we used back during k-1 they want us to come in and show them everything so that they can verify its not going to conflict with my husbands pending ROC and N-400. Its a free consultation.

USCIS relies on their own background checks through their own databases/FBI when adjudicating the ROC and N400.  A prospective employer's background check through an agent company is not going to matter one way or the other when it comes to his immigration process.
 
Good news is that the company will hold his position for him while the mess gets sorted out.

OK, I will share our situation.  On April 10th, my wife was scheduled for her N400 interview in Detroit with an I751 pending (N400 applied for on January 13th, 2018).  On that date, I went with my wife to the USCIS office and the IO asked both of us to come back and conducted a joint I751 interview for about 5-10 minutes, she clearly had the I751 package in front of her so it confirmed to me that it was transferred to the local office from CSC.  Afterward, my wife had her N400 interview and was approved, but of course we still had that pesky I751 open.  The IO implied that the I751 was all set, but a few days later (around April 15th) we received a NOA (I don't check the online system often) that the I751 case had been transferred to the NBC in Missouri which seemed strange, so I checked online with the WAC number from the first I751 NOA and I saw the "Transferred" message (the other WAC number from the Biometrics NOA still showed the "Fee Waived" message).  When I checked her number from the N400 NOA, it still showed "the Oath to be scheduled" message.  Anyway, fast-forward a little less than a month and she received a NOA from NBC stating that the I751 has been approved and the 10yr GC should arrive in 60 days or so.  So finally, the I751 (filed December 2016) has been approved, and now my wife's oath can be scheduled.
 
Good Luck to Everyone!

Recieved snail mail  transfer notice  to NBC Lee summit!

Just got the letter in the mail. Case transferred to NBC. I would be happy about this if we didn't live in the state with the longest backlog for citizenship. Now it's going to delay our ROC till January 2020 since it will be combined with N-400.
