that is pretty good. My father in law sent his application in around June 20th, and just received his PIN # last week (week of Aug 11th). It looks like the recent hiring of 20 additional employees is helping out.

How do you get your pin#? Do they e-mail your or get something in the mail? I just sent my package in on Thursday so I am waiting for mine, too.

Thanks

I mailed my application one day before you TexCaboCat, it will be interesting to see who receives theirs first. Im not too sure about the pin either.

You can also e-mail them and they will reply with your PIN. I got mine that way the very next day. Now I can go read the same two words on the website every day. Processing Application, Processing Application, Processing Application...
