Heads up for “born abroad to American citizens” to upload all birth records when you first apply. Got notified to submit those after a very long wait, then took another three weeks after I submitted them to even clear that. They won’t do background checks until all that is clear. Been in Texas since age 9 with squeaky clean record but because my USN dad was stationed out of the country when I was born, the process is difficult. When I called I was told I went to bottom of the pile after submitting (and the three weeks it took to accept the birth records) and the wait time starts over, and if I had submitted the birth records upfront, would not have had to go through this.
