Algill did you notice if your fingerprint check cleared before your background check, or did they update at the exact same time?

My prints and BGC both show Under Review. I figured after nearly 5 months my prints at least would have finished...

Everything was cleared for about 2 weeks except back ground and pending print. I did state application and finger prints a week or two before taking the LTC course.

Did you have to get copies of the case history showing final determination of the cases?

I have a couple of generic arrests one in 03 and 07 that were both dropped. 03 was in CA and 08 in Texas.

I've heard stories of people having to give case file stuff as old as 16 years ago.

Question: Once BG check has a status of complete, is it presumable that this indicates everything is good or could it also be that something was found and they may be mailing a denial letter? Just wondering if anyone has gotten all green up to pending print then been denied.

I am approaching my 90 days on 10/22, since they have green lit everything except prints and background. I have sent a couple of emails and got the generic response. Would my next course of action be to call them, or call/email my representative? Thanks for any help

Did you list any arrests or mental health or drug treatment?

Almost 90 days to the exact day, my Medical Advisory Board paperwork showed up. My treatment program was self initiated and was 9 years ago, so two weeks after sending in my eval from my doctor, I was okayed by the MAB.

The following day, DPS had my info from the MAB. I gave DPS a week and then called to check up on the progress. Got the generic "your app is being processed... we appreciate your patience"...

I see guys on here who amazingly had their entire process take 4-6 weeks. I'm nearly at 6 months and still in limbo.

Were charges dropped? I had a 16 year old and 9 year old arrest. Both were dropped. I didn't have case numbers but listed charges and final disposition of "dismissed". This may be causing both of our continued delays.

Keep us posted. Hopefully we'll both be celebrating our approvals soon!

Fingerprints and documents sent in on the 13th
Finally got an email confirmation on September 28tb
Still no change to the website. It still says to allow sufficient time for processing. I've seen other people say the online status is slow or does not change until after its already mailed, so I guess I'm not the only one. Guess I will wait impatiently...
Woke up to "Print Pending" this morning!

If it says "print pending" you should be good. I don't think it's "print pending" for a denial letter...
