How does any of this make sense if they're going chronologically. Yet I submitted everything at the same time as her and I've yet to receive a biometrics appointment.

Do you think it has to with age or something? Anyone gotten approved above 30 years old? I'm 29 and my sister is 23.

Otherwsie they're full of BS at this point.

Something happened early Feb - early May. Not entirely sure what that problem is, and why the delayed background checks issue seems to be a lot more pervasive this time around than in the past renewal cycle.
