Finally got my license! Yay! So in all it took about 3.5 months. 

Awesome! Congrats! Your certificate should show up in the mail really soon, too. Now you can order your shiny, new stamp! Keeping my fingers crossed for this week!

I check the board's licensee lookup feature multiple times a day. Feels like waiting for my PE exam results all over again.

Still waiting over here. I'm right in the middle of my 3-5 week window.

I emailed the board again about 10 days ago... I actually complained a little about the amount of time it's taking and I asked for the status of my application, and I got a real response! They said my experience had been approved and now they were waiting on finalization. Final processing should...

@GeotechCT let's hope it's soon! Keeping my fingers crossed! I'll try to remember to post here once I hear back.

I sent in all my paperwork and fees in early April and am still waiting for NY licensure. I already have the CA license. I emailed the board to check on my application and they confirmed they are reviewing it but "it may take several months."  I used the NCEES record. I don't understand how they...

So what is the highest license number this round? Have we broken 100,000 yet?

Last year it was after Memorial Day weekend. Half the country had their results but I had to go camping without my results. It was several days later that I finally got results. Not only that, but they released the 8-hr results early in the morning, and seismic and surveying weren't until 6:30...

Don't want to burst your bubbles, but California took forever in April. It nearly ruined my Memorial Day weekend camping trip when half the country released their results but not CA. I don't expect it to be any quicker with the new fingerprinting requirement. It's also true that they released...

I did exactly the same thing (except a different seismic review course). I passed all three first try, and I'm so glad I set it up that way. Your tl:dr is dead-on.

I tried going through the CERM for the 8-hr and wasted way too much time going in-depth. I gave that all up and just did practice problems and exams. I did the construction depth, which I don't really have experience in, so I also had a book for that. Having all the references for the afternoon...

I took the PPI Seismic review course and I would have been lost without it. I do agree the CERM for the 8-hr and the practice problems are too in-depth though.

Got my certificate in the mail over the weekend :)

This is in California. They have minimum requirements for the stamp, but nothing that says you can't add anything else. Again, he did in a very professional manner that you wouldn't even noticed unless you really looked.
