1-2 weeks is normal

Mine took about 2 weeks. They couldn’t figure out how to contact some of my previous employers (even with the direct phone numbers) so every day they’d ask me for proof/letter. Then they’d validate it, and the next day ask for the next employer. Pretty stupid, but it got done.

Make sure your are super correct on your hire dates. If not you will probably lose the job. I was hired and received my offer letter and my compensation package. 3 days later the background team came back and said my hire dates did not match up in what I put down for jobs 13 year ago. Long story short I am banned for 5 years because they said I lied on my application. I am like how in the world does someone remember when they got hired 13 years ago. Just my luck I guess🤷🏽‍♂️
