Nearly a month just to get the application typed into the system, PIN issued.
Odd, got an email from them today (Saturday). Maybe they are working some OT to get caught-up, lol.

I emailed asking what the deal was, they replied with the picture comment and that a letter was mailed on the 28th. Got ahead of it by having my instructor re-shoot the pics yesterday, letter arrived today. Going to over-night the new pics tomorrow. We'll see how much it slows the process down.

I WANT PLASTIC!! :banghead:

Step in the right direction I guess.

Oddly enough, a friend of mine that took the class with me... got his plastic Friday.
He's not even a citizen, (no not from Mexico... Europe).
He got the dreaded "missing info" letter as I did, except they accepted his photo from the same printer mine was from, but needed a copy of his green card. He sent it registered mail, boom, he's got his plastic, I'm still waiting.

Nothing against my friend; a legal, productive, tax paying immigrant, but dang, you'd think it would take longer than some (clean record) guy born in Oklahoma!

CRAP!

It shouldn't be too much longer for ya. I had the same issue with pictures and once they started processing again I was done in 25 days. Hope that makes you feel better. :thumbs2:

Well, called them today for an update ....
"Everything is complete, it's in the final process now". Please call again in a couple weeks."
Not sure what the final process is, but it sure sounds better than "waiting on background check", lol.

Update... still waiting, lol.
April 5 will be 60 days since their receipt of requested new pictures, April 20 will be the "complete" 120 days ... I keep thinking I'll see those magic words online. Down to checking ever couple of days or so :oops:

I'm trying hard not to be impatient, but dang! Pretty sure once the plastic actually arrives, it will be VERY anti-climactic after all this waiting :yawn
