Will background clearance forms (e.g. the blue and yellow mailers) and other correspondence continue to be sent?
Yes. All of the paper correspondence that is currently generated by DHS will continue to be sent. Because of the unique and often complex nature of individual background studies, results will be communicated via US mail in addition to NETStudy. This will ensure that the subject of the background study (who does not have a means of accessing the result electronically) and the organization will receive the result at the same time. It also allows the communication of the result, and any actions required of either party, in much greater detail than would be possible in a one or two word description.
