My background check status was always "Not needed at this time". I never saw "Not Started".
Any one with similar experience?
The usual progression of BG status is:
1. Not Needed at this time - As soon as you submit you eAPR.
2. Not Started - Around the time your medical is passed.
3. In Progress - For inland immediately around medical passed date. For outland, after 2-5 months. Probably RFV and very very close to PPR.
4. Completed - After COPR is received.
So you are still at the first step. Now, for some of us after stage 2 or 3, From Not Started or In progress, BG went back to Not needed at this time. This is the issue that we are following in the thread that Naomi mentioned. As of now, yours is progressing normally. Nothing to worry.
