I went into background review March 1st, and just went into "Manufacturing Pending" stage today.

That's 24 Days in Background Check (with fingerprints under review). Throwing out the absurdities, that seems about average for what I see here regardless of email vs. snail mail or the additional fingerprint under review stipulation that some of us see.

Been in background review since 2/17 and changed to manufacturing pending overnight last night. There is light at the end of the tunnel , and the Sunday batch does exist!

[Bitterclinger]

Yep, I was in background review (+fingerprint review) since 3/1. I check every morning and it changed to "manufacturing pending" this morning. Yay Sunday batch!

While I'm waiting...

Is "manufacturing pending" poor grammar? It sounds like, "making waiting." I think it looks wrong because "manufacturing" could be either a noun or a verb, so maybe it's OK. It's just that when I write it, I get the feeling that a nun is about to hit me with something. How about, "Pending Manufacture?" That would be just about as meaningless as anything else, and wouldn't offend anybody's inner ghost-nun.
