If I were you, I would submit one. You don't want your application to be delayed just because of a document (which is now a lot quicker to obtain). I would apply for a police certificate in the next couple of days and send all proof of it in your letter of explanation along with the eARR. If you hurry up, there is a slight chance that you'll get one by the 14th. If not, you will have one ready in case they ask for it later. In any case, it is always good to have an FBI police certificate for your own record.

MEP = Medicals Passed
ADR1 = Additional Documents Requested (Request #1)
IP1 = In Progress (1) - this is when the "Background check" status line reads "Your application is in progress. We will send you a message when we start your background check."
For future reference:
NA2 = Comes after IP1, typically. this is when the "Background check" status line reads "Not Applicable" after IP1
IP2 = In Progress (2) - this is when the "Background check" status line reads "We are processing your background check..." - usually when one is about to get PPR (PassPort Request).
Hope that helps.
This is very helpful, thanks. So, based on that, I have MEP and I am at ADR1 (for FBI PCC) and IP2. What would be next after the ADR1 is completed? They request the submit the passport?

Yes, once ADR is responded to, and if eligibility/criminality-check is okay, you should get PPR as you are in IP2 already. Are you CEC/Inland by any chance? If so, you would be IP1 even though it says "We are processing your background check". FSWO and CEC differ in that aspect, among others.

Oh wow. IP2 without the PCC, thats awesome. Then PPR would be the next step for your once you transmit the PCC.

Umm or maybe not, I'm currently inland with FSWP if that's what you were referring to? I thought you meant CEC plus inland!

Ah. My apologies. You're right, PPR may/may not be your next step. But then again, all these patterns are purely observations of folks like you and I... so, you never know

Observed statuses: Insufficient > Delivered/Received > Processed
Current trend shows earliest is 24h, latest is 48h for an update to the status after your fingerprints reach the FBI (i.e. show as delivered in shipment tracking). And the gap between "Received" > "Processed" is observed to be anywhere between 2-3 minutes to 15-20 minutes.
