So I'm assuming you are in background check now also? Hopefully you will see progress faster now.

I guess, I thought they didn't start the BG check until they approve your fingerprints.

I'm not sure since yours was sent in by paper and not online. Mine all changed at the same time and went to BG check also then. If you can log on to see the status now, it should show what has cleared in green and what hasn't in yellow. As you move along, it shows the next "step" you are in. In other words, you should see something to the effect of "background pending". Sorry, but its been a while since I've been on there, so I'm going off my bad memory. lol

I was not aware of the online app. My CHL instructor told everyone to mail in the paper app with everything else and wait. Here is my status when I log in...

Have they sent you a letter about a problem with your app? You can always call and see what is going on.
