Well from the time I received the consumer release form to the time I got my offer was one month. The background check took 2 + weeks, I know they called my current employer, previous employer and a reference. I know they called my university for a behavioral reporting along with grades/gpa verification, and I ordered a copy of my backgorund check so I was able to see the rest. I had a contact person, which I contacted muiltple times. The offer comes in an email form, I got a phone call as well 10 minutes after. Id suggest calling and inquiring, which is what I did. Keep checking your email too! Good luck!
