From (Wikipedia)/FBI_Name_Check :
Since a permanent resident has already undergone the comprehensive FBI Name Check, why would he/she need to undergo the same Name Check again when applying for naturalization?
"One of the biggest customers of the National Name Check Program (NNCP) is USCIS (formerly INS) which, since late 2002 requires comprehensive FBI Name Checks for all applicants for permanent residence (green card) and for naturalization."
