Out of interest, anyone watching this thread get verified lately?  I realize there is every reason for them to be a little backlogged right now, but upwards of three weeks delay to look at two pieces of identification and place a phone call is... well it's plain slow.

Edit:  Sorry, looking at that again it's a little more negative than I meant to come across.  I just figure that even a single new employee, with no specialized skillset or anything (read: inexpensive), could speed the process up significantly.
