If you have nothing to worry about, don't worry about it. Seems straightforward enough.

Uh...I think your math might be a little bit off on that one. 
The main point is valid, though. These administrative things take time.

You already know if you passed it or not.
1/5 to 1/20, not including MLK day, is 10 days =/
So I submitted my background check on 1/5. It is now 1/20 and it isn't complete yet. Anyone else's taking this long? Anything to worry about? I swear I've never committed a crime.
How long is ur rap sheet?
These things generally take between 2 and 3 weeks. After 15 business days, then perhaps you should worry.

I submitted mine on 1/6. Just finally got mine completed today. I have a clean report so don't worry about the wait time (although it can be a little unnerving). The delay is probably from Certiphi waiting to hear back from your local state court.
