it depends how old you are. They calculate your age minus 21 (18 if you claim the veteran discount) and use that as a factor. The reason is if you waited 10 years before applying, you're in less of a hurry than someone who applied right away.
j/k

See. Apply early and they process quickly. Wait until you're 30 and it could take months.

I cleaned out my closet last week and threw away a dozen ties way older than you. Damn, some of them were so wide they could be used as bibs.

Congratulations! The wait for it to come in the mail once it updates to mail is the worst part though. Nothing to check five or six times each day. Hope your plastic shows up quickly!
