About two hours. JB had a PDF attachment that wanted driver's record (must be notarized), PRIA from FAA, prior employer, and drug and alcohol testing. I sent this back via Fedex overnight so I could track it.

Four hours later we got an electronic link to a third party that wanted 10 yr residence history, employment history, fingerprint release (same one you signed at HQ ironically), a document that verified you were attesting you were not a felon.

However, the link did not work. There was an error message and customer service number so I called it. They sent me PDFs and I emailed them back, starting the checks immediately. Members of my group had continuous problems with the link. I believe some opted to give the info over the phone and others did what I did, albeit they were delayed about a week.

I will tell you this though - I'm not a fan of faxing or emailing attachments with all the personal info. It's an identity theft kit - name, residency, SS#, DOB, etc. Very easy to search someone's email for "SS#" and steal this data. They also "lost" the email twice (the third party). So I transmitted this data three times. I then signed up for "Life Lock" because I'm concerned about a data breach. The form is also extremely small so you have to write in about 8 point font to get everything in there.
