It's Time!

Well, we got the call that it is time to begin our dossier document gathering.  We were really pumped.  Our dossier is due on Jan 10th and several of the documents are long-lead items.  Little did I realize, but the State of Texas can take up to 12 weeks to process FBI fingerprints and most places only do fingerprinting on Tues and Thurs.  We figured this out last Thurs.  So, we are off to get our fingerprints tomorrow and we just pray that they come back in 11 weeks and not 12 weeks or we will miss our filing deadline.  (Never a dull moment).
I spent my day off from work finishing our document binder as it stands today, updating the fee schedule so we know what we have left to pay, figuring out the schedule for requesting our documents to ensure they are as new as possible at the time of dossier submission, and finding all the forms we need to get our other clearances updated.  This process almost feels like another full-time job, lol!  So much for a day off work.
