I'm heading for a record breaking 6 weeks.
I sent via express post and even called 1 week later to follow up to ensure everything was correct and not short of any required documents.
No reason for the background check to be delayed on my end. Same address, no criminal convictions etc
It was initially sent off to Auscheck 4 days after I posted, some 5 weeks ago.
Daily phone calls return a 'it's still being processed by our checking partners'.
Expires tonight but need to fly on Thursday. Lucky that useless AVID still has 2 months on it.
Strange that I'm banned for going unescorted at the stirke of midnight yet you still have 7 days to notifiy CASA of any criminal activity.... should be a 7 days grace period for pending applications.
I'm in my 6th week now since applying. Have contacted useless Auscheck who say they outsource the work, weak excuse. I've had several ASICs before and don't have so much as a parking ticket on my clean record so will put this delay down to oxygen thieving , lazy, incompetent Public servants
