Finally over! Just received the "card production ordered" email!
If anyone's been following my case, I had gotten approved under the new memo, but my info didnt get updated at NBC (for about 30 days). I had sent a letter to the district director director last week. Dont know if that had anything to do with it.
I was being proactive about it since at an infopass appt, the IO told me you may have to wait for a while, till they get to it.
Anyways, congrats to those also received theirs.
If you havent received yours, my experience has been: be proactive, write letters every other week if you have to, make infopass appointments. Luckily now they can't just tell us, "well, its in FBI's hands, we can't do anything". It is in their hands now, and they certainly can approve, even if the name check is pending.
