Background checks could be almost anything from the embassy putting the file at the bottom of their pile and taking their time to check out the information to something more serious. Even though they may inform you on the type of backgroud check they are doing, one never knows ALL of the details or their reasoning behind the checking. My husband spent his early years living in Ethiopia and left there to live in France. The background check asked for his police report and other information from Ethiopia after all the other places he lived had checked out. It took months of me calling around from embassy to embassy to get that information. We eventually got it through a round about way and the help of a few strangers. We never really knew why they wanted that data and were never told of the details. I am not sure whether to advise you to begin the telephone calling campaign or take the wait and see position. If you can get someone to tell YOU directly perhaps that will be better.
Good Luck

Thanks i just received response from uscis cris that file is actively being processed, and that however additional review was needed. i should receive a decision in 3mos or less a lot better than 6-8mos like before.
