I actually spoke with someone from their office earlier this week and that was one thing she said. Often they sit in the mailroom for 7 to 10 days before they even get them and start working on them. Took them about 16 days to cash my check. I think they are pretty bogged down with renewals right now.
The wait is on!!!
