The time taken depends entirely on your background. I went through the process about 12 months ago with around 10 other contractors. Some got a response within 3 weeks others took 6 months, depending on your age historical police records for minor offences are very sporadic. All contractors started once basic clearance has been granted (around a week) you then sat waiting for a tap on the shoulder!
Only one contractor failed and he failed the basic upfront test. You aren't told why you fail but we believe the chap failed as they were unable to confirm his identity.
My advice is to be total upfront and honest. If you lie for any reason then it's an automatic fail.
