OPT to H1B Security Check while in US - How to do a FOIA/FOIPA

Hi,

My h1b was filed in Jan 2006 while on OPT, and it went into a name check.
I was and still am in US since then. Calling uscis/fbi did not help.

Is there anything I can do. I am wondering if the petitioner/attorney messed the application up in anyway.

I have the following questions, answers to which would be greatly beneficial.

1.Is there a way I can get the information. Ive been reading a bit on
FOIA/FOIPA on various forums, but am not sure if it applies to my case
(i-129 change of status).

2.If i do a FOIPA, what kind of information will I get back and what is the
estimated response time.

3. ***Is it possible that by mistake or whatever the case was filed as if "I
was outside the US", which could result to this excruciating delay of 15
months now??

4. If I went for a new h1b petition with the same employer or a different
employer, would the present situation affect it in anyway.

Also, is there anything I can do besides this.

Please help.
