Can't clearances cause background checks to get manually reviewed?After 93 days, I decided to email the ATF about my application.
To my surprise, I got a reply less than 12 hours later...
"Your background is in a delayed status with the FBI"
No further info. I don't know if there is an issue with me, or they are just behind on processing applications.
Anyone who knows my background will know it's not me. I have been vetted by the FBI on several occasions without issues. I've had other Federal, state and municipal agencies also run background checks on me without a problem. If there was something of significance, I wouldn't have a job!
Of course, they could be reading my posts on here!
I used to get delayed all the time when mine were still active. Thought it might have something to do with my birthplace, but after the clearances expired I never got a delay again.
