apparently there is some hold up with the FBI background check. Now I am assuming they do this for everyone, but my problem is the hold up.....the girl who did our interview, it was fast and done, but she said that was going to hold things up, and that I probably shouldnt bother calling for at least 5 months......wtf 5 months!?!
I asked if there were some way to check on things she said no...not to bother for 5 months. sheesh, I have no criminal history (except speeding tickets) why so long????
This is going to hold everything up in the long run isnt it? lifting conditions etc

anyone else experiencing long waits for background checks? or what are common wait times

Unfortunately it is becoming more common.... so say its because people are getting the interview quicker than before and the FBI background checks are taking longer.....

Sorry this has happened and I hope you hear some good news real soon...
