Does anyone know if services exist to expedite the process to receive the criminal background check for US citizens? I have my fingerprints ready to send and my recruiter just informed me I need the background check sooner than I thought. I have already been through the process as I have been a teacher in Korea for two years, but as I will be leaving for a extended vacation, I will need to renew the background check. Does anyone have any advice? My vacation will be longer that is allowed by the D10 visa, as well. Thanks in advance!

I have heard of people contacting their senator or congressman and things get done faster that way. Might not work.too well if youre from a very populated state. Think.more like Iowa or Wyoming. The people o mnow of who did it were from Iowa. They had their docs within a coupke of days.
