I was able to talk directly on the phone to somebody in the office that is processing my application. He asked me about my A# not the receipt number. He said the case is pre-adjudicated and he said that this internal background check is required for all 765 applicants not just me and it is different from the name check. He said I should call back in 30 days if I don't receive a decision.
 
For me, they don't want to give me EAD. Background check for EAD. They found a good execuse to delay it. I will hire a lawyer
 
If the background check means the name chech, then I may have to wait for more than 30 days. This should never happen for EAD.
 
I have learned from this forum that I-765 go through fingerprint checks and IBIS name check (not FBI name check)...

Do you guys know how to check the status of IBIS name check?
