When you pcs and your husband checked into his new unit......how long did it take for ipac to fully process all his paper work so you could get on the housing waiting list? 

It's been a few years for us doing this but we always got on the housing list the first day he checked in. Not sure what you are talking about really. Maybe it has changed.

Maybe bumping this up will get someone else to answer. 

When we checked in Nov. 2009 it only took maybe two or three days max, but we were able to submit our application the day we checked in and when IPAC updated his info they gave us our spot. Either way, I wouldn't stress about it because your control date is the date you checked out of the previous command unless you wait longer than 30 days to check into housing after checking in with his new command. 

We haven't applied for housing in years... since about 2004. But when we did, he did it the same day we got to town and then it was backdated to when he checked out of his old unit. 

29 palms my hubby was able to after 2 days. Where we are at now he didn't have to check in which is awesome. 

He can do it the same day he checks into his new unit.
