security check-FBI Name check list

[sridhar reddy]

hi,
I have read in some of the forums that , there might be a security check in my case, if it is a security check, can anybody please tell me whether it will be in london (as i am living in london fromthe past 3 years) or in US(as the sponsored company is in US) or in India(as i was born in india).
An early reply is highly solicited

The security check is conducted by the FBI - they may or may not work with other agencies within the US such the Dept of State (which covers US Embassies) as well as external intelligence/ polic authorities. There may also be checks on the bona fide nature of your qualifications and/or claimed work experience as well as credentials of the sponsoring company.

Sridhar, your questions are shooting in all directions at once, without giving us too much information about your current situation, and also what is it that you are trying to achieve, and what has been done so far by whom.

It also seems that you have not made an effort so far to investigate the terms of basic options available to you either in the U.S. or in the U.K.

My partner on this Board, Kayalami, has tried providing you with some essential ideas, and for me to guess various scenarios applicable to your case and to try covering them in detail would result in a very lengthy reply, which would mostly duplicate information that's publically available or was discussed on this Board.

Hope you find the time for some homework.

Hey please help me as i am confused,

i have been posting my views on to this forum quite a number of times
but the latest update is i recd my passport back from the US embassy

they kept all the orginal educational certificates and all other original documents.

the other point is that i have registered in one of the below address where they enquire my visa with the dept of state , Washington DC, on behalf of
my application and send me mails regularly abt any updates in my case

today i recd the below mail saying that they already have issued me a visa on 30th June 2004,

AFAIK the US authorities will only deal with the applicant, an authorised legal representative or a member of congress to whom you have approached regarding delays. The organisation you quote is some sort of lobby group trying to show how visa delays are supposedly impacting on US research capability - they have no authority to obtain or pass any info to you so I find their claim of visa issuance dubious to say the least. I hope you did not pay for this service.

I would listen to the embassy who are more likley to know what is going on - I understand reviews can take up to 12 months. The recent requirement for all non immigrant visa applicants to be finger printed has regretably resulted in more delays as the US security organisations verify any hits matching you details on their systems Mantis etc - I am sure you would want them to get it right in your case would you not. I appreciate its tough but you just have to be patient.
