Re: "Waiting Room"
Hi everyone,
So I have been keeping tabs on time lines but up until.....oh about 5 minutes ago had not decided to register with this forum. So first my timeline and then a little about my experience up to this point.
My Timeline-
Class- May 2015 (The second one) I never applied after my first class so I had to take it again BC a year had passed.....haha,
Application-12/05
Paperwork Submitted-12/08
Fingerprints-12/20
Now on to my experience, I can say without hesitation that my experience has been a really good one. I waited until Friday Jan 22 to make my first call (Ya I realize 12/20 to 01/22 is not much time to wait) but I like most started to get the "itch". I spoke with a very pleasant gentleman, cannot remember his name but he put me on hold went and talked to someone and said to me that I was in the background check phase and to give it a few more weeks. I sort of laughed and joked with him about being impatient and he said "Call as much as you want, that's why we are here". Ok no problem, other than my inability to be patient. So mustering all the patience I could I was able to get a whole week without calling again....and then I called. This was last Friday the 29th of Jan. I called and I honestly want to say it was the same guy, I was working late so I called from work, it was a bit before 7pm , I was unable to get through earlier so I waited and called later. He told me that everything looked like it had been completed and then said he was going to talk with one of his guys, I was on hold a short while and he came back, he said we are here until 7pm but the problem is not everyone stays until 7.He went on to say it looked as though everything had finished up that morning and to give it 2 weeks to arrive by mail. The website was updated on Feb 1st and Im hoping for a surprise in my mailbox when I go home in about 2 hours but that's still pretty fast and wishful thinking on my part......the USPS HATES ME.(While I typed this I was actually on the line with the USPS filing a claim about a lost package) Anywho, I was nervous about being approved at all, I have been arrested a few times, all non disqualifying and no felonies obviously but I do have one DWI from 09 or 08? I don't have the info in front of me and an arrest as recent as 09/2014, however the 2014 arrest was erroneous and the charges were dismissed. So I do apologize for the long post but the reason I included it all is simply to say.......If your record is good or even has a few blemishes from rowdier days.....its coming. Its gonna be here before you know it and in all honesty this turn around was FAST. It took less time to get this then it did for me to obtain my passport.....THAT was a fiasco lol. I will keep you guys posted on the plastic.
Cheers
