Im scheduled for training in the US on the 6th of June.
Just paid on the TSA page, and are awaiting approval to get the fingers scanned.
A couple of questions:

- How long does it normally take before you can get the approval to do the scanning? Paid on the 16th May.
- Sim center says I can do the scanning when I arrive in the US. Have 3 days of ground school, and they claim that it only takes 4 days to get approval to train after the scan.
I have the option to do the scan in Europe before I leave. Probably on the 28-29th May. Does anybody know if it will take longer than the normal 4 days if you do this in Europe than what the Sim center claims it will take in the US??

It going to be tight in any case.
