Video below is a quick update on the steps I took on Day 2 in this process.
Now it’s a waiting game as the SBI manually does my background check and sends it back via snail mail. According to them, it takes 2–5 days from the whole process. We’ll see.

- $14.00 for SBI background check
- $27.00 for two copies of my certified birth certificate (have to have at least one to take to the courthouse)
The journey continues…
