Hey everyone!
Anyone ordered GCMS notes, got it and have any info to share so we can compare notes? My application says "Test Ready" since May 2021 in my GCMS notes.
It would be nice to compare and share some info!

I am still waiting for mine; ordered July 8th! not sure why it's taking this long; however, I feel it's because my BG isn't complete yet!

What is CGMS? Can anyone requests for that?

That is really weird. I have ordered it in the past and it never went past the 31st or the 32nd calendar day. Try requesting another one, just in case?

It's strange; I'll order new ones. Thanks

Wait, why would you have to pay? It's free. You have to request it under the Privacy act if you want it for free. I did not pay for this.
OK, so with the GCMS notes, when was your background check completed and what is the validity? I'm hoping we get some progress before the validity. Mine is valid till November 2021. Also, since when is your application sitting on the "Test Ready Shelf"? Mine is since May 2021.

I think you're replying to the wrong person!

1. I thought everyone has to pay $5 to access their notes. (thanks to @rajkamalmohanram) for confirming that I don't need to pay.
2. Second my background check is not completed yet
3. Third I said my application is still Open not Test ready.

1. Nope, they don't. Apply under the privacy act and you won't have to pay the $5 fee.
