Hi vj friends,just curious,heres my question,Does USCIS performs background check to the beneficiary in the philippines? or the american petitioner only.

USCIS initiates the background checks of the applicant/petitioner and identifies issues that may need to be addressed either during an interview or by asking the applicant/petitioner to submit additional information or documentation. USCIS reviews the applicant's/petitioner's criminal history, determines if there are national security concerns that need to be addressed, and reviews the application/petition for fraud indicators.

I believe they only do background checks on the petitioner during the USCIS stage but once the case is forwarded to US Embassy in Philippines they will do the back ground check on the beneficiary remember part of the requirement is the police/NBI clearance.

Thanks Angelo,i got curious because i read a case concerning about the beneficiary saying that her fiance from the united starte called by USCIS telling him that his petition for his fiancee( filipina) got denied because she has a pending case in the philippines which she claimed that she never had one.
