FBI Security Check: Who has the running record?

[LaL 418]

Actually this is something that I have wanted to know for a while... are they actually the same checks done as with the visa ie are they doing the same twice? I would think that the fingerprint check for AOS would cover more??

especially since the only fingerprints I had done where for my police records and the ones as consulate... or is it the name check that hold things up?

there is a difference between fingerprinting at the consulate and through AOS. I *believe* normal processing at the consulate would require 2 finger biometrics and AOS would require full 10 biometrics. In our case we had the full 10 in both cases, thus stuck both times.

right if the FBI do a name check on me would it not be possible for me to inform the Britsh gov before I get interviewed to watch for a possible namecheck coming through for my name, and get it back to them pronto

if this is nonsense please excuse my silly thought process

Nice idea scotty, but I doubt you'd manage that.

Scotty the name check that holds you up isn't the IBIS check or any checks with Scotland Yard. It's the US domestic check of FBI records that causes the delay.

The whole thing is totally bizarre.

it wouldn't be so bad, honestly, if the process were the same for everyone. this forum is full of people who are CSC transferees, and receive their greencards in less than 30 days without so much as an interview. something's amiss here, folks.

and i really don't think it's a matter of 'friendly' countries vs. 'terrorist' countries. rebeccajo's husband wes and my husband anthony both went through the London Consulate. can't get much friendlier than that.
