Experience with Cisive background check length?

Does anyone here have experience doing a background check with Cisive/Carco? I recently accepted an SA offer and want to sign a lease for this summer. However, I don't get my start date until the background check clears. With May coming up, I'm curious as to how long the process took for others who used this firm, thank you.
