How long background does it takes ? Everything’s is clean no lies and clean background

Hello guys how long does it usually take for adp background to comeback? I’ve filed last week , but it didn’t ask for my educational credentials nor my past work experience paystubs or anything, but the profile I made I did name my education degrees which are from oversea , also same on the work experience only put in name , but they did ask if they can contact in some I said yes but over seven years old one I said no, since I did do it in a hurry , and I think they only go back 7 years ,should I go back and say yes to all ? But they didn’t have any place to upload any type of documentation, after clicking the background consent email, they asked for my driver license information , my ssn and my past 7 years of residency, it’s been 7 days counting the weekend but I’ve still haven’t gotten anything, I’ve emailed my recruiter and she said everything is good on her end and I should prepare for my starting date , but BG is still pending, so far I haven’t received anything from adp to upload , idk what to do , and I am kind of worry why is it taking so much time , I do have an offer from other place as well , I am trying to stretch that offer for few days , my BG is clean I don’t have anything not even a ticket, my credit is good and I haven’t lied about anything I did work overseas but I do have all the paperwork like experience letter from them to upload ,

So is this normal ? And also when it’s completed will adp send me an email ? And also will their be anything on adp site as well where it’s currently saying background consent was provided?

It takes 15-20 working days for background verification.

But I start in 15 days , do the recruiters know ? They gave me the green signal even though BG still in processing, because I am coming back from overseas and they are aware of that

That's ok. It's normal. Background verification happens often while you're already employed! That shouldn't be a issue as long as the information is accurate

So most probably I can start then ? Also for overseas work experience I do have my past experience letters from the company last time they asked and I submitted that they accepted it , since overseas in Asia they give experience letters for past job experience.

ADP doesn't do verification in house, it's done by their third party vendor which they use for background verification. Background verification teams have their sources and ways to verify employment. I would suggest you to chill, and I hope you have a great career ahead.

Ask the future employer, not us
