Guys....chill!!!!
Its not as bad as it sounds!
As long as you have been cleared to submit finger-prints, you're all set...
All you do then is pay a visit to the local cop station in the US and get finger printed.
Once you've done that, you are legally cleared to fly on the very same day!
I too went to EFT about 4 weeks ago. I was taken by my instructor (cheers Garic!) to get finger-printed on my first day and flew an hour later!
Enjoy!
