How Long Does It Usually Take for an Out of State Background Check to Clear?

Question by cody: How long does it usually take for an out of state background check to clear?
I recently moved to Crozet, Virginia from Mesa, Arizona. I just received a job from Harris Teeter as well. I wanted to know how long this will take because I went in Friday and she said she would send it off, and it still hasn’t cleared. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you :]
I wish I could thumb you guys up :/ Thank you very much!

It depends on where the data for your background check is housed, and where you have lived. In some states, background check information is still kept in hard copy files and someone has to research and sift through tons (literally!) of paper to find information. While in other locations its all been digitally converted and takes much less time.
