    Hello,
    I wonder, if I go to TSA for fingerprints, how much is the validation of this process?
    I mean, I would like to go to my home country for the winter, and return back in USA March 2016, and then go to the DMV to place the Haz-Mat test. The state is Illinois.

    You must have a permanent residence here while they are checking you out which can take up to 3 months. I got my review back after one month. Since states vary, do a google search, my endorsement cost $75. Where is you home country?

    I am naturalized US citizen, my home country is Bulgaria, Eastern Europe.
    OK, lets say they will check, in 1-2 months I will have the review from them back, do I have to go to the DMV right away, or can do this in few months? Is there expiration date TSA check?
    Here in Illinois HME enroll is $86.50 and to add endorsement is $5 .

    I don't think there is an expiration period, but, DMV may question why you waited so long. I would suggest you do it when you return, the process as mentioned above is fairly quick. Coworker just did his, had to schedule out 5 weeks for an appointment, got his results back in 3 weeks.

    Thank you, I wanted to shorten the wait time of few weeks between fingerprints and the results. I will do it next year :)

    I live in Illinois. Recommend you wait til you get back. Don't bother making an appointment to get your fingerprinting. I showed up when it opened and they had no line. Was done in 5 minutes. You should be approved within 2 weeks to a month.

    Since you'll be flying....have you thought about getting the TSA pre-screen ? Forget what it's called. Allows you to skip the long security lines at the airport.
