The Federal Bureau of Investigation’s Security Check Procedures for Immigration Applications and Petitions (Redacted for Public Release), Audit Report / Docuticker, 11 June 2008

"Our audit found that, faced with the increasing volume of name check requests, the FBI’s name check processes are inefficient and untimely, rely on outdated technology, and provide little assurance that pertinent and derogatory information is being retrieved and transmitted to customer agencies. In contract to our findings on the NNCP (National Name Check Program) and its name check procedures, we found that enhanced technology combined with well trained personnel, efficient tracking mechanisms, and proficient customer interaction have enabled the FBI to process millions of fingerprint submissions through IAFIS (Integrated Automated Fingerprint Identification System) in a generally accurate and timely manner."
