'Good news' about FBI name check?
I heard last night on NPR that USCIS has decided to issue GC's to people whose case has been stuck for 6 months or more just because of the name check. The FBI name check will continue of these cases and if something comes up later they will revoke the PR status. Does anyone have any idea about this?

Hey was just going to post that
Everyone that has been stuck like me in name for more than 6 months lets start a collective thread to share our experiences.
Many of us have been stuck for so long now.
I will let you all know if i hear anything on my case.
But here.. this is from a very reliable source:
* On February 4, 2008, Michael Aytes, Director of Domestic Operations of the USCIS issued an interoffice memorandum to give a revised guidance for USCIS field offices' adjudication of I-485, I-601, I-687, and I-698 as related to the pending FBI name checks. According to the revised guidance, where the application is approvable and the FBI name check request has been pending for more than 180 days, the adjudicator "shall" approve the I-485, I-601, I-687, I-698 applications and proceed with card issuance. However, the approved applications shall be held at the adjudicating office, and the USCIS will determine if rescission or removal proceedings are appropriate and warrantged if derogatory or adverse information is received from the FBI after the application is approved.

* We do not know the exact impact of this policy change on the I-485 processing backlog and on the future Visa Bulletin changes. Without doubt, this decision may bring about a positive result in the processing times but negative impact on the picture of future regrogression of visa numbers as more numbers of earlier priority dates will be taken out in an increased number.
