It will probably be at least 2 more weeks before you are entered in the system & have a pin #. Grab a chair relax. We are glad to have you aboard.

Mine took 77 days to change to approved status (yesterday), still waiting on the mail. There is always a chance you'll get lucky and be one of those that gets it in the 45-60 day window, but be prepared to wait a lot longer.

Got and E-mail back it said I wasnt in the system yet. Guess it doesnt really matter about the pin, the only thing itll do is make me mad if it doesnt say APPROVED as quick as I want it to. :deadhorse:
