Hi,
I got my Federal Tax refund today too. Below is my timeline for your reference -
1) March 5 - Submitted ITIN paperwork + Federal Tax Paper filing in Minneapolis
2) July 22 - Recevied ITIN letter in mail.
3) July 26 - Was able to check status updated in the 'Where's my refund' tool. Status was 'Return Received'.
4) Aug 13 - Status changed to 'Your tax return is still being processed'.
5) Aug 15 - Status changed to 'Refund approved'. Refund scheduled on or before Aug 19
6) Aug 19 - Refund credited to bank. Interest was included in the refund.
Good luck to all those who are waiting!
