Cognizant BGV Issues – What Actually Causes DOJ Delays? (Need Real Experiences)

Hi everyone, I’ve received my LOI and I’m currently waiting for further updates. I wanted to understand what common issues people face during Cognizant’s Background Verification (BGV) that end up delaying their Date of Joining (DOJ). I’m trying to avoid unnecessary problems, so it would really help if you could share: What specific issues caused delay in your BGV? Was it related to education verification, or document mismatch? Did anyone face delays due to address verification? How long did your BGV take? What documents were asked from you during BGV? I want to make sure I keep all required documents ready and error-free before the process starts. Serious replies only please — real experiences would help a lot. Thanks in advance.
