JPGREENCARD,
Right now it is like between 8 and 9 months and according to my calculations they should be working on people who applied in last october. Since they have lot of applications received before AUG 1st 2000 which was the dead line for 2000, i.e. before they anounced about computer based test), the time period required to process application went all the way from 3 months to 9 months. If i were right, they should not be having that many applications received after AUG 1st 2000. In that case we can hope that it won\'t be more than 8 months.
One more thing: they changed the documentation requirements last year and made it mandatory to have certificates sent directly from the issuing authorities. Earlier, people used to send notarized xerox copies of their certificates. Infact, lot of people who applied last year were not aware of these changes. So most of the last year applicants are getting query\'s after 8 months for official documentation. According to NABP websites, these are more than 70% of the applicants. The point is that FPGEC have to evaluate these applications again once they send the required docuemtns. I think this is the main reason for delay (8 months) in the processing time. I hope things will get better.
Once you get the query, from there it takes another 2 more months to get the approval. If you think that you have problem with your documentation, send the right documents before the file goes for evaluation.
