...or maybe he's really, really, really busy Although a month may seem like an eternity to you, it's hardly enough time to be concerned. Depending on the agency, and where you are in the process, it wouldn't be uncommon to go months without hearing from your BI.

You've left your one message, now don't make a pest of yourself...chill

Rob you should be okay. he will contact you if he needs something from you. be patient. no news is sometimes good news. Ive never called my BI and things are moving quickly for me.

Contacting BI

Rob, I generally recommend that an applicant not contact the BI. Compton Cop nailed it, with regard to the time frame. Most Background Investigations typically run three to six months, sometimes longer. Consider too, that very possibly, the BI has several investigations to complete. These are often very busy Officers. I understand the anxiety you're experiencing. Been there. Done that. Not much I can advise, except to be patient.
