So I sent my FBI request (from Florida) on Sat. May 14th

I found my Money order reciept and called the number to see if it had been cashed....It was cashed on June 6th! :D

My question is for people that have paid via money order and called to find out when it was cashed...Probably not many
But how long after it was cashed did you get the clearance back?
Does them cashing the money order mean they just started the check or that they are nearly finished?

I doubt anyone will know the answer for sure, but just hoping to get an idea of a timeline for this..
Appreciate any responses! :D

The above thread might help with your question. If not, please post your timeline there as well as how long it you took to receive your report after the money order was cashed to help others wondering the same thing :)

I paid by money order but didn't think to check out out the timeline between money order being cashed and receipt of FBI report.

I think it wouldn't be any different than paying with a card, and there is a handy thread floating around to post your fbi wait times for others. Might check that out :)

I've read the thread several times before.

None of the more recent post really answered my question, and it appears the FBI requests timeline has sped up considerably comparing the newer post to the older ones.

Thanks anyways for the replies.

It very well could be the same. But they may cash their money orders weekly or daily, who knows. Perhaps credit cards are processed differently.
