U.S. Foster Adoption Waiting
Waiting on digital fingerprint clearance - how long?!?!
Recently I had my fingerprints taken digitally and was told they can take just a matter of days for the clearance. But that was over 3 weeks ago and I’m still not cleared. I wouldn’t care so much except that this is the LAST thing my family is waiting on so we can foster a sibling group we know. These 2 precious children are having to wait, too!
So, I’m curious what the TRUE typical wait is for digital print checks. Anyone?

If you are talking about the ones from the FBI - ours took just over 6 weeks.
PS - you can call the FBI and tell them you are waiting on the prints for a foster-care placement. We did that (only ours was for an adoption), which is how we got them back in 6 weeks rather than a longer period of time.
ours came back in 3 weeks but we told them we had a rush our daughter was being born in 35 days. HUGS and good luck ......
How exciting for you! It seems to me that there is no set time frame for the results, and I’m not sure why. I would definitely be making some phone calls to both your agency and the FBI or state, whoever you’re waiting for.
