FINALLY AN UPDATE.

Here is my timetable.

Dec 18 2012: applied online (paid with CC)
Jan 03 2013: fingerprints submitted
Jan 19 2013: completed CHL class
Jan 21 2013: submitted checklist, CHL-6 (using DL photo), CHL-100 to DPS website using the "contact us" form
Jan 30 2013: email saying they received my documents
Feb 19 2013: background check under review

In the meantime I have received my MultiHolster kydex holster in the mail. I have made a homemade press and started making some custom mag holsters for myself and friends. So close.

Looks like the process is moving still good.

I emailed mine 1/21 as well. Received an email 1/30 saying they got my documents but still no update on my status. Trying so hard to be patient.

That's a little discouraging. I mentioned above that I spoke with a CHL worker today and she said they would get to my email within the next two days. I was under the impression once that happened I would see a status change. According to your timeline it could be another week or two before that happens. Bummer.

I posted in another Waiting Room post but thought I would throw this in here as well.

My application officially went in on December 18th but my class wasn't until January 18th and my paperwork submitted via email on the 21st. I figured that would justify a post in the January apps thread.

I spoke with a person in the CHL office today. She said they had 5000 new applications in just this past Monday alone (covering the whole weekend.) As far as my status, she said they are currently working on emails from the 18th of January. Mine, being the 21st, should be processed by friday and then my status will change on the website.That's less than 2 weeks from day I submitted and seems much quicker than I anticipated. The lady that assisted me said they have been given permission to work overtime in the CHL office. Sounds like they are just getting hammered.

UPDATE: just a couple hours from posting here I received an email saying my information was received and is being processed.

Dec 18 - online application submitted
Jan 03 - fingerprints done
Jan 19 - Class taken
Jan 21 - submitted all forms electronically via email
Jan 28 - started checking online status multiple times a day

Patience is a virtue.
