When I take my names to the Temple they are put in as complete by the time I get home in about 1/2 hour after I complete them.  I think that is why the new rule came out Jan 1, 2012 that each patron has to do their own names and cannot leave the cards in the Temple file,  and can not just inundate the Temple with names that are not directily related to them, and having permission of the nearest relative for the ones who are not your direct line or born 110 years ago or more.  If you release them to the Temple to be done, they can be sent all over the world, and it may take a year or more to get them done.  They also may get stopped at Baptism and Conf. and take who knows how long to complete the rest.

If it seems like it's taking too long, then I just go back into NFS with   the PID number and that's how I can determine if they dropped the   ordinances..the green arrow tells me.  I make sure to combine and double  check but I am finding a LOT of ordinances that have been dropped some  endowments, but a lot of sealings.  And these are not ones from the  2007/2008 rollout fiasco.  They are names submitted in early 2010 which  should be done by now...   Michele     In a message dated 2/17/2012 11:22:53 A.M.

So just suggesting if you are finding delays, that some  ordinances may be   uncleared!   This also seems the case  that the system stopped temple  work in its tracks when they began  the rule about no punctuation in names..such as when an individual has a  nickname.
