I just called FBI again and got the same answer that they opened applications received on July 11th. I asked that On Sep 20th , an associate told me they opened package received on July 7th and it does seem to be slow. She said unfortunately for last 2 weeks , their system is experiencing a delay. I further asked if the information about new electronic system mentioned on their website is coming soon and would it help us ? She informed that is a long way ahead and would probably not be in place before end of the year.
