Can some of you give me your wait time for your initial FPID and Permits after your reference letters were sent in?

 

My timeline of this process is:

February 21 - Application turned in

28 - Fingerprinted

March 8 - Detective called to tell me he is sending out reference letters

10 - Letters received

12 - Letters mailed in

16 - called to let Detective know in a polite manner that my references has sent them in.

 

Thank you

There are a few threads on here with that information.

I just went through New Bruns again and it was fast, maybe a month for a few P2Ps

I think on the 16th day the follow up seemed a little unnecessary. The last thing you want to do is harass them long before they screw you over. Good towns will get it to you within the 30 days, but if youre in a town where they dont neccesarily care about complianve, they might just put you back at the bottom of the pile if they took your followup call as an impatient nusance (not like that was the intent).

 

After 30 days or so you should call and politely ask the status. If all your references came back in a timely fashion theres no reason why you shouldnt get it in time.

 

What town do you reside in?

Nah, no harassing was going on. My detective has been very polite so far. He asked me to call him once I got fingerprinted to let him know so he could look for it. So I was just informing him that he should be getting the letters. I didn't mention I was looking for a timeframe but rather what is the next step, even though I know it's probably to wait. When he called me to let me know he was sending out letters, he was very apologetic about the delay up to this point. It was only 14 days since I filed at that point, so I wasn't even expecting to be called yet. He told me he would do his best to speed things along. Now what that means in real time, I don't know.. But at least he's been very easy to deal with up to this point

So far, your experience is sounding pretty positive from what you've written.

The fact that your PD is answering questions/returning phone calls, seems to be a good indication that they're not doing the old "passive denial" trick

(foot drag until the applicant gives up)

Take a look at the compliancy thread and see what other members have experienced in your town, and if your wait begins to get out of hand, the folks here have alot of good advice on how to handle it-I genuinely believe if it weren't for the advice on this forum I'd still be waiting!

Here's my experience
