Nelsona,
you seem to be going by your gut feeling and logic. I do understand the importance of chekcing your background from home country. They ask for the home country police report while you do your green card using counsular processing (CP). Even there, they don't do it themselves, they ask you to get the report from your local police. Interestingly, they don't ask for that when you do AOS.
G-325 is sent to US consulate ONLY if you have entered the country less than a year (read thro the document) before filing (as not much info will be available about you in this country). They do NOT send ALL the G-325s to home country consulate. That would prove that they don't do it for everyone.
FBIs data base has the "questionable" individuals in their database and so when name check is done it gets a hit. think about it, how is a "name check" list prepared? My guess is that it is prepared by compiling the list of all questionable people form all over the world.
Other than your gut feeling and logic have you seen any document anywhere that shows that they check everyone's record in their homecountry? Which dept does that check? At what stage do they do it?
You are corect about the less than one year. It is hoped that foreign databases, interpol etc are rolled into the CIS files. It is also true that checking process is different for CP vs. AOS.
Thanks for the clarificiation. I now know why name check takes so long: too many unchecked foreigners are let into US in the first place.
