刚查了一下FBI关于name check的FAQ,看来FOIA和name check不是一回事儿。 FOIA查不到我的信息很正常,USCIS的name check是另外一回事儿。 https://www.fbi.gov/stats-services/name-checks/name-checks-faqs My Freedom of Information/Privacy Act request to the FBI resulted in a “no record” response. Given that, why is my name check request still pending? Freedom of Information and Privacy Act (FOIPA) requests are sometimes confused with name check requests. FOIPA provides copies of FBI files relevant to a specific FOIPA request. For FOIPA, the FBI search uses the name or information as provided in the FOIPA request. A FOIPA search determines whether there is an investigative file associated with an individual—a main file search. For a name check, in an effort to protect our national security, all files are checked in addition to searching a name in a multitude of combinations. Who can I call to check on the status of my name check? The FBI will only respond to status inquiries from its customer agencies. Please contact the organization receiving your original application. In citizenship and immigration cases, please contact the USCIS for the status.
