My wife's CR-1 case has reached P3 stage. My understanding was that once NVC received her DS-230 Part 1, they will review and send it to Guangzhou, then from GZ will ask for the name check. But I called NVC today and they said she's under administrative review and NVC said it's for her name check a standard procedure for everyone. Does this mean GZ does not acutally do the name check for CR-1?

From what I remember, name and security checks are performed at every level as dictated by the Patriot Act 2001

Your wife will have to go through another name check in GZ when GZ gets all the hardcopy of her case, this name checking is different from NVC admin processing.

The immigration lawyer said that the petitioner or husband will also go through name check. So are any of the petitioners's own name went through background check at NVC too?

I've read where the NVC checks with the IRS involving the petitioner and income taxes. I'm sure there are checks made on the petitioner but to what extent, I don't know.

 

Below are recent amendments made to the INA pertaining to K non-immigrant visas. This may also pertain to the immigrant visas (IV) as well in some fashion but I can't be sure.
