The vast majority of passengers who apply are being cleared very quickly, then issued their KTN within a few days. We do have some delays if their are fingerprint quality and/or if we encounter some criminal history that has to be manually adjudicated.
With that being said, many people who applied yesterday nationwide can already lookup their KTN on our website.

Can you PM me so I can look into this?

I have no criminal history or anything of that sort, so I'm not sure what could be holding up the process...

I'm on day 24 and counting. I called the number on my enrollment receipt because it says to call if you haven't heard back in 21 days. Apparently TSA contracts with a company that takes the enrollments and then forwards on the information to TSA. The enrollment center says that TSA is very backed up and they can't look in to it further until it's been 30 days. TSA says that they are clearing their enrollments within about a day and that they are not backed up. Apparently several program managers have tried looking in to it and- I assume because I haven't heard anything back- can't figure out what the problem is.
Honestly, none of this seems worth the opportunity to go through a line that may or may not be shorter than the regular TSA check. I'm feeling really dumb for spending $85 on this.

Yikes,
I was able to apply last week in ATL as a walk in since I have no locations near my home airport (RIC). That was a great experience. No wait and was finished in 10 minutes tops. I did do the pre enroll online beforehand.
Was hoping to get a quick turnaround since I am flying multiple times every week for the next 8 weeks or so.
I'm scared by some of these wait times.
I have no criminal history at all, so it should be a quick process.

I have no criminal history either, and I'm still waiting. In fact, my job requires me to have undergone fingerprinting and an FBI background check several times, and there have never been any issues with people having a similar name as me, etc. From what I've read in these forums, for every one person that is cleared quickly there is another that is delayed for no obvious reason. I wish you the best of luck!

Just curious, does this only work for people who have processed directly through TSA PC? I recently completed GE processing and tried your link just to see what the result might be -- nothing doing. I am on a brief hiatus from air travel so I will have to wait to see how things go. Have never gotten PC in life up 'til now...
