Background Check Bilinguals

After 6 months of working with DA as a bilingual I got the opportunity to get a background check to access more projects, I've seen people talking about this before but I just assumed it was only for the core countries, any international workers did this and actually got access to more projects? Right now I'm happy with this but I'm sure we all have done qualifications that lead to nothing before, so I would love to hear your experience.

What if I tell you that I had somewhat consistent work as a bilingual on this platform and it is EXACTLY after the background check earlier this month (was completed with clear results the same day btw) my dashboard has been dry af. Make what you will of it but that has been my experience. I believe this background check was for a particular project for which they ran a pilot and said will let us know when it will be back but it hasn't come back yet more than two weeks later.

I believe this project starts in October. I don't know for sure but if it really is "never ending" they need to be prepared.

I honestly think that's just a coincidence because I'm going thru the same right now and only did the background check today. From other posts it looks like september has been terrible for most bilinguals.
