The FFL I chose said my background check has been delayed when I asked a question about it I was told my federal background check passed but the state of Illinois is what’s being delayed how can I confirm if there is an issue with my background check I don’t have a criminal record what should I do next?

Hi Andre, if your information closely resembles that of someone with a disqualifying record, it may require further investigation. This includes similar names or dates of birth. By law, if a delay is not cleared up in 72 hours, the FFL may release the gun to you, but he is under no obligation to do so, as this could lead to legal issues if the applicant is later found to be ineligible. Some FFL's choose to err on the side of caution and hold the gun, others will release it.
Stay safe & have a great day!
