I just called. Thanks Mogambo!. The FBI checked the prints and returned the results to the CIS the same day. So, the reason for the delay is not the FBI. When I placed an inquiry because the I-485 was so out of processing time they answered in writing saying they are "actively processing this case" - Does anybody know what that means?

Finger print and name check are two different things. Usually finger prints are usually faster because there are no chances of mixing things. In name check if your name and approximate dob matches then computer recorded as hit. then the FBI officer actually check the file to verify. This is what takes long time. FBI don't tell about name check status- I tried to call.

Correct. I learned that too.
Fingerprint check is done instantly and USCIS gets the result back from FBI the same day you get your biometrics done.
Since vk_lk asked and mogambo's posts seem to be edited out, the number to confirm this fingerprint check from FBI is at the bottom of this page:

But again, background (a.k.a name) check is another monster and where most people get stuck. Usually senatorial inquiry or infopass appointments tells you if you're stuck or if you've cleared it
