Guess it's just me and you left. I've been in background check since July 8...time to move on a lil. Called again this morning and they actually forwarded my call the the person reviewing my application, not that she answered but I did leave a message. I encourage you to call.
I called Thursday and apparently my background check was sent to another technician for further investigation. Based on earlier phone conversations with them I believe they started my background check on July 3rd.

How long can a background check really take? I bet I can have one completed for me in an hour or 2.

No idea but I somehow get the feeling your background check and mine ended up in the same workers stack LOL.

Right! When I talked to the guy who forwarded me to the person doing the review he said, " I'm not for sure what is going on here but I'll forward you to her. Maybe she just has more of a work load than the others." Are you kidding me! How can one person in a office of several doing the same job, have more of a work load. What a joke.

Amazing! Contacted my Rep. and the DPS contacted me a few mins ago. Need some info on a conviction from 2000 to prove that it was a misdemeanor and I need to send it in first thing tomorrow and then my license will be in hand in about 10 days!

You would think that would be there job to research it consider its called a "background check" after all. Hopefully this is not my issue because I do not feel like running around to the county courts to try and see if they can pull my records for the dps seeing I have no paperwork on my stuff.
