I filled out all of the initial paperwork to start the clearance process last week for high risk public trust. I was told that someone would reach out to me within 1-2 weeks to schedule a finger printing appointment. Should I expect to hear from someone within that time, or is it often delayed? I intend to follow up on the 10th business day, unless you think that is being too aggressive.
Fingerprints are done by your agency/company, and are not subject to the timeline of the NBIB or OPM or such. Any delays would simply be due to delays/negligence on that side, rather than any backlog with investigations.
10th business day sounds reasonable for a follow-up, but I would certainly expect them to get it done sooner than that.
