Does anybody know what exactly is involved with the back ground check of the beneficiary? Besides police reports and finger prints through the FBI etc, do they go back and check employment and education of the beneficiary? Do they go back and check the addresses for places she has lived? She doesn't have any criminal back ground or even a ticket for anything. (how bad can it get on a moto :cry:? ). We were curious if some dude from the embassy is going to call or visit past employers or landlords?

Why you are so worried about security backgrounds? whats wrong If USCIS or the embassy or the consulate go to check to those places that you listed? If you tell the truth in the petition, you dont have to worry at all because the beneficiary dont fall in any ineligibility situation. (like criminal activity, ilegally overstay in USA, etc)

Remember that you still have to deal with the at least six months of waiting after you sent the petition, so I suggest you relax and take a break from this site.

Best regards,

Some advice.

Stop worrying about things you aren't even near yet.

You have a while to go like i said in one of your other topics and are worrying about things and are curious about things that won't even happen.

Just calm down, stop over thinking and just wait for your NOA2.

I am simply wondering - is that really possible? USCIS doesn't have any databases except the US ones. So, I believe, there is no actual background check for the beneficiary. Probably, just the documents info verification, to make sure all the data in the application is the same as in the IDs and certificates provided.

The FBI? They don't keep records on Colombian citizens unless they are connected to drug deals or the Farc.

Does some " dude " from the embassy travel around checking? No. The police report is done thru the police headquarters. The other checks are expanded if there is reason to think the person was involved in things such as prostitution ect.

I'm assuming during the i129f package the beneficiary won't be checked but when interview time comes she/he will be checked. If that person got anything to hide then there will be a problem but if you know you have given the true facts then no need to worry :)

How exactly is the beneficiary checked during the interview? S/he brings the police clearance certificate - and that's it! Nobody ever goes into any database or sends any requests to check on the beneficiary - the info is simply unavailable for the US government.

How exactly does it go? Do they go into the beneficiary's country police database and check for those fingerprints?

In my opinion no security checks on the beneficiary are possible, and they never happen.

In Thailand for example in some cases the embassy certainly does check into the persons background. There have been cases right here on V J where the person was put into A P while they sent people to locations where the person worked to check the info.

How exactly is the beneficiary checked during the interview? S/he brings the police clearance certificate - and that's it! Nobody ever goes into any database or sends any requests to check on the beneficiary - the info is simply unavailable for the US government.

I believe this to be correct. My understanding is that the petitioner is subjected to background checks between the NOA1 and NOA2 stage. US databases are used to carry out checks on the USC.

Once the consulate in the beneficiary's country receives the paperwork, the beneficiary has to obtain a Police Clearance for their country (and any other country in which they have been for 6 months or longer). The Police checks are the security checks on the beneficiary. It's a two phase background check.
