?Frequently Asked Questions
How Long After Biometrics?
After biometrics, most applicants see their next update within 2-8 weeks. This could be background check completion, case active review, or an interview notice. If your case remains unchanged for more than 6 months, consider submitting a case inquiry.
Case Stuck After Biometrics - Is This Normal?
It is normal for cases to show no updates for 2-6 months after biometrics while background checks and security reviews are conducted. If no update after 6-8 months, check if you are outside normal processing times and submit an inquiry if so.
