Considering how other FOs are working on DV cases from spreadsheet, I do not think covid is the major issue anymore. They process cases in 15-20 days, which is great. However, it is really frustrating that my FO does not do that way. It could be that where I live does not have enough staff members, or it is a small office. Or there may be something else I do not know. I would say that they may be still running background check but we have not done biometrics yet.
Anyway, I wish it was not summer. Waiting during the semesters would be awesome. Not 50, I could wait for 150 days
