Name check~ backlog elimination
WASHINGTON – U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) and the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) today announced a joint plan to eliminate the backlog of name checks pending with the FBI.
USCIS and the FBI established a series of milestones prioritizing work based on the age of the pending name check.
The FBI has already eliminated all name check cases pending more than four years.

Ray, I had my naturalization interview on Feb 26th. Haven't heard anything since.
Is the name check done before or after the interview?

Re: Name check~ backlog elimination
The name check is now always completed before the interview since you can force them to adjudicate 180 days after your interview. However, the backlog elimination plan Ray's initial post refers to does NOT apply to naturalization candidates -- this is their last chance to check you out.
