How much background needs to be checked for a 9 year old without any travel outside the US?
76 days and counting....still no C.A. Our trip came and went last week. I wish we hadn't wasted the $.

I'm not sure that the actual reason for being fast tracked or not has ever been officially stated.
There doesn't seem to be any obvious pattern based on age, travel history, job, or even occupational security background checks. The process, for whatever reasons, is not transparent.
