What does it mean if my H1B case status is listed as ‘security check’?

Answer

There is typically an abbreviated type of background check done in the H1B petition context. This normally does not cause a delay and, essentially, goes unnoticed by the petitioner / beneficiary. Sometimes, however, there are issues of concern regarding either the individual employee or the company. This can tie the H1B case up for a long time. (26.Oct.2015)
