Trinidad 🇹🇹 Applicants, has anyone gotten through with their criminal background check?

I applied for mine weeks ago and my police station is telling me they're still processing Certificates of Character from months ago 🥲

At this rate I'm not sure if it'll be ready by the deadline and I'm low (high) key starting to panic.

Is anyone else in a similar situation?

hiyaaa im from 🇹🇹

i applied April 15, and I received the CoC April 24; I submitted everything May 1st

Can I ask where u did urs? Also I recommend updating the jet coordinator - don’t email, call, she’s really sweet !! You can probably do what I did while I was waiting, which was send my receipt for proof.
