What is a name check.

Gurus,

What is the name check people talk about here. How is it related to the FP.

Thanks in advance.

It is not related to FP. However, as FP, it is also done by FBI.
They scan their database against your name trying to find out if your name appears somewhere. If it doesn't, you are cleared.
If it does, they will do a more thorough search trying to find out if it really is YOUR name that is in their database.

Anyway, they have long backlogs of those name checks...

SO how do I know if my name check has been completed?

You may want to contact FBI. However, after 3 weeks there no answer from them.
