When Security/Name Check Clear?

[likuliku]

I am just wondering typically how long it will take to clear the security check and name check? Can I check this information online?

Thanks!

varies between cases and it highly depends on your nationality...between a week and 3-4yrs! I've been waiting for 7 months now and a friend of mine has been waiting for 13 months...

How do you check whether you have been cleared from security check & name check? Are there any way to check online?

Its not possible to check online. However, if you're lucky you can ask the operator when calling USCIS and he/she may let you know if they have recieved your name check result from FBI. I suggest not to worry about it as you can basically do nothing. I heard people asking congressmen for their help when they have been waiting for very long, e.g. 2-3 yrs, but not sure this is going to help...
