I did everything correctly, my prints were good as far as I know...I sent them from CA....does anyone have a ball park estimate as to when I'd receive it back this time of year? I know the apostille takes 2 more weeks. Is being in Korea by the beginning of September realistic? Or is October more likely? Thanks all, I'm sure you've answered this a million times, but I assumed those responses were dated...

Well I'm in Indiana, I did mine recently and took 4 weeks for CBC and one week for apostille on my Diploma and FBI check. I used a courier service for my FBI check Apostille about $45. Then I had to go through my university to get my Diploma Apostilled, State wouldn't accept it otherwise. They notorized it and sent it to be apostilled for $25. September should be fine, I would think. Depends on how busy they are though. Good Luck. The whole process wasn't bad getting the documents but recruiting process to find a good position. Now that was time consuming and aggravating at times. Shocked

It can take longer than 4 weeks. If it comes that quickly great. However a lot of times it takes around 6 to 8 weeks and sometimes even more.

It took mine 6 weeks to come in. Don't worry, nothing's happened to it. They really are that slow with it.

Dont worry too much. Mine took 5 weeks to come in. Also, keep an eye on your bank account. I revived my result couple days after FBI took out the $18 fee. As for the apostille, I would recommend a private/expedited service if you need it in a hurry.

I sent mine in during the first week of June from Ohio & I finally got it back late last week. So it took about 5-6 weeks. Smile I'd say you should get it back in the next week or 2.
