Background check pending after 6 weeks - Why BG checks take so long?

Hi guys, Does anybody has similar experience? I don't understand why BG check takes so long. They told me last week the only thing left is education verification (international), but now it is still pending.

I'm going to be relocated to the city for the new job soon, and perfer to have BG check cleared before the move. Is it ok if I contacted HR to speedup the process? Thanks for any suggestions.
