PLASTIC IN HAND!!! :-D

good deal, go get em

[Fedaykin]

I didnt have the good luck today. no plastic.

Cdoug, you're sure to get it tomorrow. Just one more day!

It's official. My buddy turned his materials in a full week after me, and he's now holding plastic. ARGH!

Don't worry, I took the class with a group of seven buddies. Four of them recieved plastic 2 solid weeks before the rest of us got ours and we all sent them out on the same day. I admit it was pretty disheartening to see them wally walking without me.

I don't think it has to do with your background, in state/out of state or anything else. I think it's just the sheer volume of applications they have to weed through. I had no arrests or anything in my background and mine took almost the full 60 days.

It just depends on which 'batch' you end up in when they empty the mail bags. The remaining 3 of us got ours within a couple of days of each other. It shouldn't be too much longer for you now!

Okay, well, I guess that makes me feel... a tad better. My sheet is as white as cotton, so I must just be unlucky.

Everything is green on mine but background check. What is the average wait on BG?

There really isn't a good average on the BG wait, it varies a lot. Once it goes green there's a better estimated time till mailbox, being within 2 weeks, give or take.

Once again no plastic

Dang it, you should have at received a lump of coal or something by now. Okay let me try one more time... TOMORROW! (I think the all Caps should do it this time).

I hope so. I was really wanting it to get here today because for the next three days I wont really get home to check the mail until late.

Hooray! Finally got a change on my page. I emailed them yesterday, as politely as I could, asking if they had at least received the packet I mailed on 3/28. This morning I checked my page and it said:

Application : Received
Fingerprints : Complete
Affidavits : Received
DL or ID : Valid
Citizenship : No documentation required
Passport photo holder : Received
Photo : Received
Proof of Classroom training : Received
Proof of Proficiency training : Received

Looks like just my background check is pending...so it might not take too much longer. Also got an email saying they received the packet 3/31 and to please be patient. I'll try, but it isn't going to be easy!
