What security checks do USCIS run and how long does that usually take ? my PD is 12 October 21 no EAD as yet so I'm wondering if it's the background checks that are taking this long ?

Along with the fingerprint check USCIS does the following for AOS and later for naturalization

 

The FBI conducts “name checks” on all applicants, and disseminates the information contained in the FBI’s files to USCIS in response to the name check requests. The FBI’s National Name Check Program (NNCP) includes a search against the FBI’s Universal Index (UNI), which contains personnel, administrative, applicant, and criminal files compiled for law enforcement purposes. The FBI disseminates the information contained in the FBI’s files to USCIS in response to the name check requests.

@Jeanne Adilthank you . What would cause a denial ? I have sister in law in prison and I've had to go through FBI checks before I could get on her visiting list and Ive passed all the checks. I'm frustrated at length of time .

Sorry you’re frustrated, but you’re right at 8 months, which is around how long it is taking.   Definitely a drawback to choosing to AOS vs consular processing.
