Hi all,
I spoke with an IO from Texas Service Center today and mentioned USCIS memo regarding approving I-485 case if FBI name check is pending for more than 180 days (see http://www.uscis.gov/files/article/NameCheckQA_28Feb08.pdf) released by USCIS on 2/28/2008.
She said that on April 2, 2008 FBI and USCIS released joint statement regarding FBI name check backlog clearing efforts (http://www.uscis.gov/files/article/NameCheck_2Apr08.pdf). She said this memo supercedes 2/28/2008 memo & per this memo all namechecks pending for > 180 days will be cleared by February 2009.
She also told me that if namecheck is pending for > 180 days after Feb 2009, then USCIS will go ahead and adjudicate affected I-485 cases (provided visa number is available, PD is current, I-140 is approved, and other criterias are met).
