My app was received Aug 5th

CC charge October 7th and showed initial review complete.

October 18th my first referance was interviewed. My second did not receive a call.

Waiting to see whats next. I had to answer yes to some background stuff.... no criminal record but an assault charge from 2005 as a youth.

Still seems like its moving quicker than i anticipated.... fingers crossed

When did yours show up as “issued” on the website? The first time I saw that it had been issued was last Tuesday and I still have nothing in the mail. It’s concerning because I changed my address while my application was still being processed and I’m dreading having to deal with it if it becomes a problem because it seems impossible to contact CFP…

Approved on October 13th. I was nervous as well because mine took 11 days to come in the mail.
