New update as of Sunday evening. Kind of weird it would update on a Sunday night - makes me think it's probably outsourced, it would be early morning in China...

Monday will be nine weeks since submission on completed package. Has anyone been approved who submitted their documentation in November?

I guess I spoke too soon - it's now been another three weeks with no further progress since 11/20. I thought for sure I would have the license before Christmas. Ha, at this rate maybe Easter????

Thanks guys,

I guess what bothered me is the lack of a simple acknowledgement. I would hate to wait a month and then find that they had not even received the package. Guess I should have sent it registered mail so I would at least have some evidence It was received...oh well, next time I'll know better.

Nine days after sending in my completed package there was still no status change online to indicate receipt. So I wrote DPS an email which was answered today. Here's an excerpt - "Once documents are received by the department, they undergo processing before being entered into the system for the applicant to track. Please allow more time for your record to reflect the receipt of documentation. Right now, it takes 3-4 weeks before we can see a status of your application materials". Silly me, I thought they would have logged the package in and updated the status as received.

Looking forward to receiving my plastic as a Christmas present.
