Thanks for the advices, ...

I should have no crimial records; The employment history on my resume are all the truth; and I should have a very good credit score. But something very unusal happened during my job application. Two companies hold back after checking my background and reference, and one company call off an on-site interview after we talked one days ago about arranging a flight for the on-site interview. All these companies have showed great interests from the technical side.    

The reasons I could think of are:

1. I made some very good devices in one company, and I listed that in my resume as my accomplishment. That company has being trying to hide that technology from their publication. The manager (my friend, non Chinese) may not willing to confirm that accomplishment.

2. I was let go in a company recently. That company is hiring-and-firing at the same time, that is obviously causing many questions and suspicous on job seeker. The HR's explaination to me is that (1) the functionity of that job is changed (I used that explaination to EED to get unemployment benefit), and (2) the business cost structure alignment (in plain English, that means to cut high-salaried employee and to get young, low-salaried employee). There were obviously more reasons under the table such as management changes and company politics. I have many friends in that company, but the current management and some people in that company may not like me ue to the complicated political situation.

3. Could there be some error on public records? I have always requested to send me a copy of my background check, but I have never received one. I do get feedbacks from my coleague/friends that they got calls for my reference check. Does this means the procedure have not get to the step of background/criminal check?

Thanks for the help and advices.
