Longest week of my life

[Sol1776]

I'll be taking my exam on Saturday, feel pretty confident on passing the tech and general but time has slowed to a crawl....then comes the waiting for it to be posted. How long does that usually take?:headbang

my tests were graded immediately after taking them and I knew that i passed the same day. It takes a week or so for your license to be posted on the FCC ULS, provided the examiner mails the information as soon as possible.

It took them two and a half weeks to register mine in the database.

Hopefully yours will be faster!

OH NOES!!!:w00t:
I hope so too!!

If I remember right my call was posted in under 2 weeks....If it takes any longer than that I would be trying to contact the VE's to see just when they sent out the paper work

But anyway ..Grats on passing the exams !!

My VEs said they were to mail the forms out the same day, so I'm hoping sometime this week even.

In 1959, the usual wait was 6-8 weeks. Only took five weeks for mine to arrive in the mail, so I guess I lucked out.

Patience.

Sweet! I hope I'm so lucky. Trying not to be too impatient, I've already put this off WAY too long (30 yrs or so)

LOL. Good grief. You put it off for 30 years?!? Serious procrastinator.

I finally got my ticket this past Wednesday and it only took me a little over 20 years.

Is filing by computer available to all VEs?
