Hi,

My backgound check for emploment in a bank has taken more than three (calendar) weeks. The company conducting it says it normally takes this much time for Nepal. All they are trying to do is establish I have a physical residence in KTM by talking to my parents who is residing in the address I have provided for background check. However, they did not ask for any phone number or email address in the form I submitted. I am guessing that they would find out themselves as part of the b/g check.

Does anybody know how long it normally takes for this sort of check? Note that this is not employment verification, which is done separately. This is just residence verification as far as I understood. Also, appreciate if you could share some insights on how do they conduct the check. I have heard that some take help from the Embassy and some go through private agencies that specialize on such work. Any additional information to help expedite the b/g check process is welcome.

Thanks in advance for your help!
