My 485 name checks have been pending for 2.5 years. Wrote to the congressman overseeing the district where I am living. Early this month, the congressman's office told me that they had contacted the Name Check Dept. of FBI for my case. Last Friday I was forwarded the following FBI response from the congressman's office (ABC below is one of the staff from the Congressman Office):
"Dear ABC:
I am responding to your facsimile inquiry received October xx, 2006, concerning the name check status of xxx for immigration purposes.
A review of the Federal Bureau of Investigation's (FBI's) Name Check Program database concerning this individual revealed that a request was received from the United States Citizenship and Immigration Services on xxx, 2004, and is currently in a pending status.
The FBI is sensitive to the impact of the delays in processing name check requests. At the same time, the consequence of the FBI's mission on homeland security requires that our name check process be primarily focused on an accurate and thorough result. While an exact date for completion of this review cannot be given, please be assured that the results will be made available to the immigration authorities as quickly as possible.
I trust this information will assist you in responding to your constituent.

Looks like FBI didn't give a shit to the Congressman! Frustrated!
