FP check is checking if you have domestic violence record in police database.

BG check is checking if your name is in FBI international terrorist or wanted database

thanks for clarification, dengdeng.

BTW, if BCIS online message says ..."your FP was received and process has been resumed.. blah blah.." means "FP check" has been completed ???

i heard FP check takes so long a time in some cases.
