I work for a manufacturing company IT as a direct full time employee .My H1b Processing was put on hold today .

Before this i was issued an RFE for Pay Stubs and we returned with evidence . And now ..this

The status Said "During this step, 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."

Can anybody help me figure out how long this would take ?It talks about finger print bio-metric appointment .Has anyone gone though this process ?

Appreciate any response!!

I got the same in my h1b extension filed under premium processing. It says:

"The required background checks are still pending for the petition and notice will be issued once the decisions have been made."

 

What does this back ground check mean here ? How much time does it take ? Please share your experiences.
