H1B Extension - Background Check

Hello,

I applied for my H1B Extension on premium processing and got RFE and we replied with the required documents.

It's over 17 days and when we contacted USCIS they replied: "The required background checks are still pending for the petition and notice will be issued once the decisions have been made."

Has anyone got a reply like this? If so how long did it take for you to get a final decision?

Thanks in advance !
 
I have received same reply from USCIS on filing H1B extension on premium processing.
"The required background checks are still pending for the petition and notice will be issued once the decisions have been made."

What does this background check mean here ?
