FBI clearence will take few months to complete. they are so overwelmed they have backlogs of prints to clear. but if you have no criminal records in the US there is nothing to worry about. it's a standard procedure and everyone has to go thru it. if you do have a criminal record on the other hand it depends on how serious the charges are, felonies will most likely bare you from immigrating but a misdemeanor may be looked over depending on which class are you immigrating under. in the later case it's better to have the assistance or representation of an immigration attorney. good luck.
i hope this helps.
