background check for employemnt

[jaygregory 1]

Hi, i got a conditional offer for a dollar general close to my house, only job around i could find, anyway i got a conditional offer pending a background check.

First there is now way to put in out of USA addresses that you have had for the past 5 years, anyone else had that issue?

and how long is it taking anyone else with a green card to get the background checks back? i have lived here now for about a year and a half.thanks for the help

I had to have a background check for my present job. The company I am working for uses a third party to do background checks and, because I am working with children, they do a search internationally as well. I had been in the US for coming up to two months at that point and the first time they did it the check failed because there was an error with the formatting of my name on my SSN card. Once I had that corrected everything went through.

I just did my background check today! Due to the job I'll be working at (children) I was not asked for my SSN, I did offer it, however because I'm an international, they do a international check, based on my passport information..... Eg: name, D.O.B, etc: then after the clearance, they then use my SSN, which I just got after receiving my EAD a month ago

My employer will have all the available information prior to me even starting

If nothing else, can you present your police report from home country? If you have a copy of the one you handed in at the time of your K1 interview.
