They got all my stuff March 1. Nothing was happening, then last week they started BG check, after reading all these posts, I'm thinking my 8 year old grandson will be finished with high school by the time I get my plastic :totap:

According to my online status changes I was in BG check for 12 days. Had a slight blemish in my record (sent appropriate paperwork). Might have gone smooth because I have lived and worked at the same place for 7 years.

My background check took about 10 days and I have a blemish as well. Like Nate, I sent in all the paperwork they would need with my package.

Well I've already posted this in the March applicants section but thought I'd re-share in this thread as well. I mailed my completed app in on March 8th, status finally changed to fingerprints under review, background check under review, and everything else on status was green, remind you that this was this past Friday 4/28. Now as of today, and I'm not even sure why I checked so soon because I figured it would take a few weeks, status changed AGAIN to background check completed, fingerprints completed, PENDING MANUFACTURING!! Woohoo! Not sure why it went so fast unless perhaps their site is waaay behind in being updated. Anyways, I should have plastic within a week or so. Hope others who've been waiting nearly 60days for a status change share a similar experience.

cheers
