I called TSC/USCIS again yesterday and they repeated that my case was stuck in name check. Although this is different from what I heard last August when they said everything was a go and they were just waiting on a visa number.
I have initiated a congressional inquiry. I will keep the board updated on how the case progresses. I talked to my attorney and he told me he would charge $250 for an AILA inquiry. I plan on waiting a few days for the results of the congressional inquiry before starting the AILA process. My attorney has warned me though that if the issue turns out to be name check , AILA inquiry will be absolutely useless.
As a side note, I found this USCIS document on Namecheck and other FBI security checks on the USCIS website.
