Question

Hi,

I am applying for my naturalization after having been an LPR for 5 years. Just out of curiosity, aside from the criminal/name check that the FBI performs, are there any other kinds of checks that it does?

Anything else that I should be aware of?

Thanks in advance!

Is there somethinig specific that you are concerned about?

No, not really - I mean, I don't have anything on my record except for 2 speeding tickets in the 20+ years that I have lived in the US. I was wondering at what level these background checks are done - specifically, would they talk to my church, work, neighbors, coworkers etc? Not that I care but if so, I'd give them a heads up, that's all. Especially because I have a lot of elderly neighbors...

I guess that's really all I am hoping you can tell me - if all they do is look through criminal records, then that's that and I don't need to apprise anyone that they may be getting a phone call or a visit.

Again, thanks in advance!

You don't have to worry about the speeding tickets unless they were DUI or DWI.

No, the kind of checks you are referring to are not done. They don't talke to colleagues, neighbors etc. Not to worry about it.
