Jeez wonder what takes so long. 40 days seems like a long time.

I think the issue may have been related to a lot of moving in the past 5 years. I was technically a resident of Rhode Island while going to college in Oklahoma and I just moved to Texas about 10 months ago. You know those blue states, it was probably Rhode Island holding it up out of spite.

40 days into background check review and finally I can see the sun rising on the horizon: manufacturing pending!!!! Woo!!!

Been in background check review for 37 days now after 3 weeks waiting for initial input. I called DPS to make sure there were no issues and the lady on the phone told me that "Background checks take at minimum 60 days to complete." Is that really the case or was that a way to get me off the phone? I thought the 60 day window was from when they received the packet, not necessarily when they get the information logged into the computer to initiate the background check.

I'm a little concerned because I know I have a clean background (I am a teacher and had to pass checks for my state certification and current employment).

Mainly, has anyone else heard about the 60 day "minimum" on background checks?
