It's not only that but imagine how much burden it places on embassies overseas that to their original duties to check on people entering into US, they need to check on applicants to USCIS (there are about 550000 citizenship applications alone approved each year if I am not mistaken, btw how about fees to agencies to perform an investigation for that number). While FBI is equipped for checking on so many people and yet they are overburdened, embassies are not suited for these numbers. I'd like to get the confirmation from an official source that these checks are performed for USCIS applicants (Citizenship and GC) by embassies. So far I've seen confirmation on FBI name checks, FP and IBIS checks but nothing else.
