How long does it take for a back round check to come back?

Question

My husband is trying to join the army at a recruiting office in New Jersey. He had a few misdemeanors in Idaho, his hometown. Its already been weeks since the recruiter sent out for it!!! How long will it take to come back?

Answer 1

What's a back round?  Oh you mean a background check...depends on what offices they are checking....there is DOJ, FBI, State and Local so it could be 3-6 weeks

Answer 2

few days but depends if ur doing it online or somewhere else. online will give u instantly

Answer 3

usually a few days.  

Answer 4

I think a background check can be done in less than a day. If you have a bad background, they may not take you. The Army is getting fussy about things. He should keep trying and not give up.

Answer 5

It may take a few longer butt you should get it soon mine took 2 and a half weeks. You might have to go to the police department he got them at and get them himself . If you want things done in a timely manner you have to do it yourself. 3 and a half months to enlist Trust me I know. I took 2   450 mile road trips to get papers i needed

Answer 6

i just got a back ground study done to be mental health worker it took 3 weeks.

Answer 7

usually takes up to a week, considering its military though, id give it a few more days then check up on it.
