I have been following this website and all the participants for a while and i am very impressed with the knowledge ,courage and support you guys have been showing.
I reside in nyc and i filed my N-400 application in may 2007.Got my fingerprints taken in june and had my interview at 26 federal plaza on Augt 16.All my papers are perfect. i pay my taxes and the interview was piece of cake.At the end of the interview the officer(mrs/ms Bilal) told me tha everything's fine and i ll be receiving my oath date letter in the mail.it has been more than 90 days and i havent received anything yet.i filed my application in may 2nd so i shouldnt be concerned about the influx of applications USCIS claimed to have received between june and augt.I called the NSC(1-800 hotline) and first i was told that they didnt have any records of me being already interviewed.Then after i explained them the situation, call got transferred to a supervisor and she told me that they r doing a background check on me and my native country is not very helpfull releasing the information they need to complete this process which i think is totally absurd given the fact that i have been living here for 12 years and
i have been back home only 3 times for a week each times.My question is
" is this something that USCIS use as an excuse to cover their lack of capabilty to conduct this check in a timely fashion?"

That's difficult to say as you have only applied in May. Normally the question of name check delays only come into play once your case processing time as well surpassed the posted USCIS prioriy date (currently at average of 7 months).

What? I thought they just check with the FBI to see if you are on their wanted/watch list. I didn't know they check with one's country. Great. This means a long long wait (if this is true).

Can't be unless this check is just for you specifically (checking a little bit more on you).
It will be a disaster and the queue would be years and years if they check with one's original country. Not because one has troubles, but most of the other countries won't be fast processing such information.
 
Next month on Dec 16th i will be hitting that 7 months of processing time limit and also it will be exactly 120 days since i had my interview done.By law they have to make a decision on your case within 120 days from your interview date.If not i will start building my case to bring a 1447(b) in the court against USCIS.I would appreciate
more input in terms of what would be the ideal thing for me to do to fastrack this or put on some heat on the agency

I don't think there's anything usefull you can do (besides inquiring with USCIS and building 1447(b) case) before 120 day limit as USCIS is within limits of the law.
