saniali said:travel history really delays d process guys????
Travel history can be part of the background check IF the persons bio data triggers any red flags such as name and date of birth the same or very close to a person on a "watch" list. Background checks can take a VERY long time in certain cases, especially if someone has entered countries illegally or lived in countries illegally, perhaps using false papers, etc. But at the same time, if a person has just travelled a lot in their lives, the checks can be as fast as a person who has never travelled.
What really can slow things down is when a person has lived for 6 months or more in several different countries. Police clearances need to be obtained and verified and not all government agencies are cooperative with this process. It can be quite a struggle for some. If people have held politicial office or military posts in war zones that can also create a lot of difficulties.
These checks are something everyone has to go through so don't stress about them. There is nothing you can do to speed up the process when it comes to this. Keep in mind that for most, the checks come back quickly even if you've vacationed in lots of countries or lived in a few.
