E-Safe Timeline Notice

Michelle (trusted member) Trusted posted

Hi All, Michelle from FPS Fingerprint Pardon Services, I have not been on here for a long time, simply due to sooo busy...However, I just was reading through, and it is great to see so many people with experience helping each other. And as always, John is a wealth of information and keeps this site updated regularly. I am just posting this as I noticed this yesterday, when I filed an E-safe. I hope this is not for the long haul.

E-SAFE Site..

Notice: We are currently receiving a high volume of applications. Processing times vary by applicant, but on average applications are currently being processed between 6-12 months. These are average times. Unfortunately, we cannot anticipate a date of completion for your specific application at this time.

I efiled Jan 31,2023 and it is still saying submitted. I received my first waiver (only good for one year) after just 29 days after efiling in Jan 2022.

@Linda

Yes this is typical. On this site you will see the most recent waiver was filed on January 10th. So a couple more weeks.

As for last year, that was BEFORE summer which caused a traffic jam of waivers all at once because all the people who had not applied during covid or recently, all applied at one.

Hey in July 2021 I was getting waivers in 5-10 days. But the sheer volume has slowed it down. You are close though.
