As far as knowing when it will clear, every morning an employee spends 30 minutes to review all delays. They check to see if any cleared overnight then call the buyer. The FBI has three business days on a delay to deny or the sale or its transferred to the buyer.


I was wondering if they called back to verify and how that process works..
