Mailed on Feb 5
Signed for (there) on Feb 8
Received clearance (by me) today, April 7
I used real fingerprint cards (completed by local sheriff) as my agency said they work better than livescan fingerprinting (less chance of rejection).
Note - i called last week to see where my status was and was told it "was in database but not completed". She said i should not expect it back til the 13 week mark, which is next month.
Re: FBI status and timeline (for me)
I had a heck of a time w/ my finger prints. The one that finally "worked" were the ones that I got done at the sheriff's department...so I would recommend to others to go there first...they know what they are doing and do it often. Our others were done w/ our SW at the agency and I just don't think they do it often enough to be pros at it! I have no experience w/ the electronic fingerprinting though....
