Mine took a couple of months. Mostly the wait to get an appointment with Homeland Security.

The wait for an appointment is what I was referring to. It pays to check back frequently because people do cancel upcoming appointments. You could get a recently opened spot. The appointment itself is a pure formality.jennypenny wrote:I filled out the applications on 5/3 for my whole family. DH and the kids were approved 5/6. I'm still waiting LOL.
FYI ... The first appointments available for the interview are in July.
Thanks for the tip. I'll keep checking because DH and DD would use it this summer if I could get it sooner. Do you get the card at the appointment or do they mail it to you?RealPerson wrote:It pays to check back frequently because people do cancel upcoming appointments.

Well,I can't think of any defense hassles to buy your way out of, other than not buying RE in military flight paths.. The government has a monopoly on border control, and I think it should be accountable to all citizens. You can bypass hassle by paying to a private company. Imagine the same with taxes, defence, ... (areas where the government has a monopoly).
Sorry JP, I missed this post. The card is mailed to you. No need for a local pickup. Good luck.jennypenny wrote:Thanks for the tip.
