Is the FBI check not just a match against a database of names?
Why should the processing take three years because of a simple computer check?
In my opinion our applications just sit there at the office for 90% of the processing time.

With the 900-999 days of processing time, that means that in your opinion that each application is actually not sitting idle for a whopping 90-99 days?
That would mean three months of daily activity per application to do a background check. Do you think they are hiring PI's, following us around, and holding stake-outs at our homes or something? "Wednesday 7.35pm: applicant is eating pasta for dinner, seems to enjoy it, lets issue an RFE for the recipe".
Seriously, my guess it's more than 99.8% of idle days during the processing wait...
