How long does it take to hear back from the parole board?
My husband has served 4 1/2 years on a 20 yr agg. on a public service charge and became elgiable 2 years after he went in, now its his second parole and he is a s3 g2 status right now. We have almost waited 4 weeks and havent recieved an answer yet, is that a good sign on getting approved?

To be honest, there are no "signs" pointing to success or failure in a parole hearing.

To be honest, there are no "signs" pointing to success or failure in a parole hearing. They all take time to process and nothing speeds up the decision. Parole is a waiting game, but on a 20 year sentence, we would err on the side of caution and ask you to be patient.
