Background Check

[Linney 0]

Hey guys,

Got a call back from a company saying they're interested in hiring me however, they're just waiting for the background check and she said it seem to be taking awhile. Was wondering how long did it take you guys to do a background check and why it took so long. Btw I'm from Australia and still on CR-1. Thanks

How long has 'awhile' been?

My background check took awhile to come back too, and that was just for a job at a grocery store. It was around two and a half weeks if I remember rightly. They told me they usually come back within a few days for most people, but obviously mine took longer not being a USC.

How long has it been?

My background check took a week which is I think was fast to get everything done. I will start next week and I am excited to work in the US

It has been a week for me, she said it usually take about 1-2 days.

They could be having problems getting a hold of references.

I found out a bit of interesting information when I took my wife to the social security office. I read that you need to do that to let them once you become a citizen. I asked them why that is when we went. They said it's so that when someone runs a background check against your social security number, it will come back as you being a U.S. citizen.
