How do you know it's supposed to be back in 2 to 4 weeks?mgnlky said:Does anyone know if USA applicants are being processed faster by the FBI? I'm just curious because I had to order a background check from them for a new job (yes the main FBI, not a third party channeler), and it's expected to be back within 2-4 weeks. I'm curious if the backlog they had is gone, or if they're giving priority to USA citizens/residents.
It's for a certain type of security badge and that's what the CBP informed me when I gave them my fingerprints. The badges require a FBI Background Check, and the average turnaround time is 2-4 weeks.deadbird said:How do you know it's supposed to be back in 2 to 4 weeks?
If you're a US citizen or a green card holder, then you transfer your fingerprints digitally and the 2-4 weeks seem like a reasonable timeline. Otherwise, it still seems like it's taking 12-14 weeks.mgnlky said:It's for a certain type of security badge and that's what the CBP informed me when I gave them my fingerprints.

That would explain it then. I'm a US Citizen and it was digital fingerprinting. Thanks!deadbird said:If you're a US citizen or a green card holder, then you transfer your fingerprints digitally and the 2-4 weeks seem like a reasonable timeline.

CIC started approving FBI channeler provided PCCmgnlky said:That would explain it then. I'm a US Citizen and it was digital fingerprinting. Thanks!
The more I'm reading into it though, I don't think digital fingerprints can be used if you go through the FBI and not an approved channeler (which CIC does not accept).
Thank you for pointing that out! I somehow overlooked it. Very much appreciated!oldenuf said:CIC started approving FBI channeler provided PCC
