Waiting for DPS online progess

#1

Post by ecnal »

Mailed all required docs on January 15th.
Had already done FAST Finger prints in advance.
My check for the FAST finger prints was cashed a few days after I mailed in my package.
No progress at all on DPS web site as yet!

Lately it has been taking around 3 weeks for status to change if you snail mailed the docs. Some more, some less. I mailed mine Jan 17th, status changed Feb 6th. Yours should be changing soon.

Excellent! I was concerned there might be a problem with your's since I actually mailed after you did and mine posted on the 6th. The more I try to figure a pattern for DPS actions, the more I get proven wrong. We are both in the background phase now, I have seen this go as quick as two days in one post all the way up to 6-8 weeks. It seems the average is 1-2 weeks, but there I go again trying to pattern. We are on the down hill slope anyway. Keep updating your progress and I will do the same.
