I had to do one for Google and it took weeks. They actually had me start before they got the results (they probably weren’t supposed to do that). I was freelancing and my project was almost over by the time the ‘results’ came back. I actually ‘failed’ because they couldn’t verify a place I’d worked 🙄 (I was able to provide extra documentation)

Can take weeks - don't worry - the red flags are around having felonies and not about how much you owe (unless you owe a crap ton)

Been with my boyfriend for 4 years. His family is much more wealthier than mine (6 cars, owns 4 houses, part of 3 businesses). My family is middle class and I feel inadequate around his family because they’re so wealthy. I feel depressed because I can’t live his lifestyle and sad for our future. His family just bought a house for us and my family can’t even buy a second car. Idk how to go about this situation.
