Does anyone know how long it takes to get your documents back?
Please help!

Our's came the day after we got the email.  Something is wrong here - you need to contact someone about it.

Hi Philly!

I just thought I would put in (hopefully) some encouraging words for you all as I've been through the process myself so I can DEF relate!! My whole process took 46 days to get done (and mine was a straight forward case!) and I never got any contact to even say they received a package until I got a e-mail saying I was approved and it did take a few more days than 2 to get my package back as well. So hang in there and keep hope!! I'll be praying that you get it soon!!  [smiley=hug.gif]

did u say 46 days?  [smiley=freak.gif] omg i hope it doesnt take that long n if it does lets pray i'm not in a insane hospital looool but thanx love

Yeah, it was horrible! But I've been watching the progress over the last year for others and it has gone down substantially so I bet you will get yours waaaaayyy before! I just thought that it may calm you to know that others have been through it as well so not to panic if it takes yours a bit longer...Hopefully I didn't make you feel worse! I'm soo sorry if I did!!  :-\\\\ I hate typing words! It's so hard to show emotion through them sometimes! But I know no matter how much someone says not to worry, your going to worry! I literally had to keep myself moving and busy so that I wouldn't sit there and torture myself! I hope that they don't keep you waiting too long and I hope you can enjoy your holidays! I'll be praying for a quick response!  :D
