Long story short, I'll start working as a consultant with a federal agency that requires me to obtain a security clearance, so when I submitted my application I included a cover letter explaining the situation with some evidence and asking them to expedite the processing of the application. I...

Updated my signature. Do you guys know what the Priority Date on the NA means? I requested expedited processing, not sure whether it was approved.

Just sent mine in. I'll be watching this thread a lot, especially postings by those of us with the DC office

Well... from the day I got the email saying that a my case had been approved and they had ordered a new card, to the day a got the "welcome" notice where they say your rights and responsibilities a permanent resident -- exactly four business days elapsed. The very next day after I received...

For me, it took like 4 business days.
