"Waiting Room"

[levik]

3/1/18 - Application
3/2/18 - Finger Prints
3/18/18 - Submitted LTC-100
3/21/18 - Email confirmation of documents received
4/5/18 - Under Review

I have noticed a few variations in messaging on what people are reporting, specifically towards the end of the process. Many people report "Print pending completion of application review" while mine simply says, "Print Pending". Is there a difference or is it just semantics? Has anyone else noticed this?

I work FOR the State of Texas, my background check should be a breeze....

Mine said "Print pending completion of application review" then switched to "print pending" the next day. i guess they put that when they are still running your background.

Yeah, mine never said "...completion of application review". I wonder if they find ANYTHING they have a question about, they put another set of eyes on it??? Who knows. I just thought I would ask the question to see if anyone had knowledge of why that happens that way.

A friend that went with me to LTC class on 2/24 Submitted his paperwork on 3/13, went for fingerprints on 3/16 and had plastic in hand 3/26
and another friend of mine that went to class with me and submitted all his paperwork on 2/28 still hasn't received his.. So I guess there is no rhyme or reason to who gets theirs quick and who has to wait
