That is unusual. I had guessed that the reason I got min so quickly was the past record. I knew my prints were on file for them to compare to and prove my identity. My friend who got it even faster than I did also already had a secret clearance. I figured there would be a lot longer check for the people who had never been printed before, but with your background they should have it.

The only guess I have other than that is if you moved a couple times recently. Working or living in more than one county during the time period might slow it down some since they check with each county.

This continued until 4/12 when it started showing a status again saying I was pending printing. And that is where it is at now.

But one of the co-workers who filled it in online on 3/26 and was printed on 3/27 received his LTC in the mail on 4/4 I was amazed at that speed and hopeful. Now I am thinking he caught just the right timing for a print run and I just missed it to wait for the next.

My license came in the mail today. That makes it less than two weeks from when I got fingerprinted. I am satisfied with that length of time.

Some of us are a little slow. I joined the group while I was a police officer, and carried since then on my retired peace officer credentials. Recently we were talking about it at work and several people tried to get a group up to go to the class together. I said I would to show my support and make sure they made the minimum for the class.
