I was checking twice a day before the dreaded letter of substandard fingerprints. They have only had them back about 2 weeks so I figure probably at least another month... :mad5

I haven't actually check at all; I am so compulsive that if I started doing that, I think it would be all I did every day. And then I would probably get fired. So I plan on just waiting around for snail mail alerts.

I sent my app in the middle of November 2007 and received my plastic about the middle of February 2008. Even the 90 days seemed like a very long wait.

But from the middle of December 07 until my plastic arrived, I'm sure I checked at least once a day. I'm not very patient! "rlol" Just ask the wife!

It's becoming a hassle to login and check it. I've decided its not worth filling in the boxes just to see the same message. It's a hopeless process and I've got better things to be disappointed about these days.

Wow! I hope some of you are kidding! I've checked my status once so far. Maybe I'll do it again in August, but I might just wait until September. From now until then it's just going to say "Processing Application". :deadhorse:
