same here and not only that but i grad last year in august and i thought i would be able to get this thru in 3 months waiting time, I applied to multiple companies sending my resume and when they called for phone interview or regular interview, they always asked for my SSN , once i say am waitng on it they reply "well we keep ur profile call us when u have it" a nice way of saying... we cant take you... it is really frustrating cuz to me the only reason why they taking long is either they busy making Harlem Shake videos or busy watching la novela... >.> because as much as they say " we have a lot of cases " an background check doesnt take 6 months as is in my case....unless they waiting for me to commit a crime to then bitch about it and feed their ego idk... am as frustrated pissed off impatient sad of how poorly how extremly poorly they handle this cases.
