I too have never been arrested and knock on wood not even a single Class C citation.... I don't like waiting but guess that is all I can do as it is not in my hands... I've done my part... Sure is hard... :banghead:

I guess it is the luck of the draw on who processes your application! Some people get the job done and some drag their feet and spend too much time in the break room!!! My background should be spotless! But people who updated to background check after me are already being printed! Who knows??? My day is coming!!! :???:

I know its tough but the length of the background check depends on several things - not just arrest/conviction history. Mine, for example, includes four addresses in two states which I know will make my background take longer than someone who has lived in one place for the last 10 years.

It will happen - I have to keep telling myself that too! ;-)

I also wonder if how common your name is makes a difference as well. Just a thought. I have a fairly uncommon name, hope that makes it easier...
48 days since I mail the documents, no update on anything yet.
Still waiting to at least get a received message...
