How long for Background check on an average

[gimme_GC2006]

Does any one know on an average how much time it will take to complete background check?

My PD is current this month and there is background check pending on my case..

Your Priority date seems to be Dec 2005 and if i remember correctly USCIS had a memo to complete all Background Check in 6 Months so yours should have been over long time ago.
But Again I am not a expert here and could be wrong, EXPERTS please advise

well...they had my finger prints on July 28th..so they started FRESH checks all over..

Which means, by the time they complete checks, PD will retrogress and then when PD becomes current they start again.

I think I may have wasted my career by not grabbing opportunities that came to me but waiting for GC to approved..I hope not to repent a lot later :mad:

In what stage is the background check done? and are we notified of its completion?
