Welcome to the Forum

Thank You!!

Wow we have almost the same timelline. I mailed mine in on 4/17 (probably not the brightest time to do it...) but I got notice on 5/17 that it was mailed!

Wouldn't it be amazing to see which factors truly determined why yours ended up being mailed out quicker? Excluding some of the more obvious factors like: which desk you end up on, which county you live in etc, I would love to witness how it all works!!! I've had zero run-ins with the law, including traffic violations(and no, I'm not the one who is holding up the passing lane, grrrr, (it's just one of those freaky lucky streaks). Could my B.G. check have taken longer because I was born & breed in the Northeast and have only been a citizen of Texas for 6 years? No employment history since starting a family over 15 years ago? It intrigues me. Definitely not complaining (yet). It sounds like we have had many people paving the way to get these wait times overhauled and streamlined. Anxious to see how many days difference our arrivals will be!!

Didn't check the mail yesterday, but I peeked in my mailbox this AM (Sunday 5/27) and my plastic was waiting for me!!! WOOHOO!!
