After a brief but surprisingly pleasant exchange of emails I finally reached an approval status. Seems I share the same name as a criminal guru lol. So something like 30 ish days from start to approval. Must say the response time from the department is quick and I almost mean instantaneous.
I just think the process should be more consistent. My boss ,my buddy and another coworker and myself all applied within 3 days of each other and all have a clear history. Boss received his in the mail 20 days from start to finish, my buddy in 14 days, coworker approved today at the 30 day mark...
