Hang in there, dooey99. I see you got your e-mail confirmation on May 10 ... for many of us, the next update has come about five weeks after that initial confirmation, which in your case would be somewhere around June 14 or 15. Since the 15th falls on Saturday, then perhaps Monday will bring an update for you. Good luck--I'm sure it will show up soon!

Background check under review from 5/15 - 6/7

I suspect I'll have it in the mail tomorrow.

We have almost the exact same time line. I sent my papers in via snail mail on 04/03. I'm still "under review". Maybe tomorrow ...

My official status is still "Background Check Under Review," which means my unofficial status is still as follows:

Gloom, despair, and agony on me!
Deep, dark depression, excessive misery!
If it weren't for bad luck, I'd have no luck at all!
Gloom, despair, and agony on me!

midnight8 wrote:When you look at some of the timelines, it makes no sense. Sometimes timelines add up and other times things just are out of whack. People sending off at end of April are being mailed, but beginning of April or even March applicants still waiting. Oh well, it is what it is, but you would think there would be a system that gets it somewhat in order.

It should be a no brainer. My stuff was received by DPS on 4/3. Still under review. Maybe soon. I hope.

From what I've seen in this forum there are a variety of factors involved - if you've moved a few times, maybe switched jobs, etc so it's not necessarily a clean record = quick background check sort of thing. And you gotta figure that, like any other job, some processors are just going to be better and more efficient at their job than others so there definitely is a 'luck of the draw' factor to be considered.

They do seem to be getting through the early April deliveries in the last few days so hopefully yours will update soon.
