hi all,

I was born in Canada, so im wondering if they are waiting on Canada to send them something. anyone else born out of the country seeing delays in processing?
my patience is almost gone, but cant do anything about it. emailed them yesterday but no reply. sigh ........

I mailed in my packet on the 14th of March. They're still processing my background check. I'm a veteran with a clean record. You're not this alone. Lol

It's not just you. I think it depends on whose desk your app is placed on for the background review. My mother and I took our class together, but I had to wait an extra week for the next paycheck before I could do my online application. So my mom got hers mailed a week before me. However, we were both updated as "received" on the same day. My background check only took 5 days, but hers has taken about 2 weeks. Ours both went to Background Review on Monday 5/6. Mine changed to "Manufacturing Pending" on Saturday 5/11. My mom's finally changed to "Manufacturing Pending" today, 5/17 (well, technically that was yesterday, since it's after midnight now).
I've seen postings of others waiting as much as 30 days for their background check to be done. So I think it's just luck of the draw.
