Pacer Shows Plan Paid-How Long Until Discharge?

[bonasi]

I completed my last 36 month plan payment in October (Virginia). Yesterday, I finally saw an entry in Pacer that my case may be closing. It is: "Filed & Entered: 12/19/2007
Docket Text Chapter 13 Trustee's Report of Completion of Plan Payments." Does anyone know what this means in the process and how long the final discharge usually takes after this report has been filed?

OK, update: As of today, Pacer says I am discharged. Status is "awaiting Ccosing" with the status set by "order discharging Chapter 13." What is the difference between "awaiting closing" and "discharged?" Am I now truly discharged or is closing an additional process that my case has to go through?

Although the information in the explanation is specific to Chapter 7...the same basic explanation applies to chapter 13 as well.

Thanks for the link. It's reassuring to know I'm done even though my case eventually has to be closed out.
