The investigation process takes a considerable amount of time over the course of several months and depends on when the Admissions Office received requested information from the applicant and third parties outside the control of the board. Eligibility status reports will be posted to your applicant home page. Admissions staff are not able to provide a timeline as each application is unique. 

You should request an official transcript be sent electronically to admissions@kscourts.gov. Do not send transcripts from every school you have attended, only the school you received your Undergraduate degree and Juris Doctorate degree from. Transcripts must confirm graduation.
