About 10 years ago it took approximately 6 weeks to obtain a full history. That was also back in the day when requests were filed on paper.

Last summer, via electronic request form for DD214 only, it was received in less than 10 days.

It's uncertain from your post whether you are requesting the entire military history or status of discharge upon separation (DD214).

Here is the link that explains in detail what type of records are available and how to go about obtaining them:

http://www.archives.gov/veterans/mil...rvice-records/

Look around that site for other military links that may be of help to you. Read, especially, the paragraph pertaining to ""Emergency" Requests and Deadlines"

There are agencies that will charge fee to do what is available for free using the government's secure website (listed in the above link). Don't get scammed by any site offering to do it for you for a price.

Good luck and hope your son is reunited with all of you soon.

It's not you who is unclear it's usually me who is often unable to read clearly.

I filled out the form for the request of DD214, printed it out, and had to sign and fax it to the number indicated on the electronic form. They will not process it without a signature so your longest delay may be in getting his attorney to be able to see him to sign it. After it was faxed it was postmarked 6 days later and it was not an emergency request.

Just to be on the safe side I would indicate your son's request is an emergency (because it is). Also I would make a similar separate emergency request for the complete history. It will save time if the prosecutor decides they want more than a DD214. Your attorney is the best to advise you on this. Again, good luck to all of you.

thank you so much for your advise . It appeared to me when we went to a hearing, prosecutor was just a bitch that she is paid for it and made demands that even judge was looking like WTH ? However , I am still happy that he postponed hearing . Since if he went through the hearing she would appeal right there and it would take another three to four months to wait , which is horrible since my son's wife is pregnant .

Right now I am hoping for his release from INS since he has no criminal record beside this weed past . He is a businessman and if he is out , he will know how to straight this up . I got a new attorney and it seems he it's much more invested in my son's case .

I will definitely do what you suggested and I want to thank you for your kind to reply and be so much helpful .
