I think they mainly check stuff like whether points you claim for qualifications for jobs on shortage lists do actually match. My oh had points deducted at the time because his work experience did not exactly match his qualifications, which were on the shortage list.
Believe they basicaly do a quick check for inconsistencies.

I believe they do a brief check to see if the total points you claim are correct. As above - to see you have entered it correctly and not falsely claimed anything.
It takes time because it has to be entered into a queue to be checked unless you have a job offer and then you get proirity.

I'm also in the waiting situation!!

Here's an extract from the London office:

Skilled migrant applicants without job offers
The Pool draw, which would potentially allocate your EOI to the London branch, takes place every two weeks.



Your Expression of Interest (EOI) will be assessed within three months of being selected from the pool. We will then contact you, either inviting you to apply for residence or requesting further information.



Please note that if you have been selected and later obtain an offer of skilled employment you should fax this to us (+44 207 973 0370) and we will prioritise assessment of your EOI.


So unless I get a job offer on Thurs night (Interview), it can take up to 3 Months after selection.

Tim.
