U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) has announced that, working together with the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), it has eliminated the FBI National Name Check Program (NNCP) backlog. The final goal of an April 2008 joint business plan was to achieve a sustainable performance level by the NNCP of completing 98% of name check requests submitted by USCIS within 30 days, and the remaining 2% within 90 days. This performance level will become the new standard.
