It depends on quite a few things. 1) vendor - they have different SLAs 2) your background. If you have worked / lived abroad, then you can expect the process to take longer as they’ll have to do an international check 3) how many companies you have worked with. If it’s just 1-2 then it’s probably a lot faster than having to reach out to 4-5

Just got it completed this morning. Request was submitted last Friday so roughly 3 business days.

Mine took ~3 weeks
Depend on the vendor, if you have a difficult background, and just luck
