My timeline is the same as yours, what city do you live in?

Edit: you are north of DFW. I have not seen the mailman today so maybe there is still hope.

I'm in Arlington, hopefully it would come today also

I received my license today, now I get to do my first walk at the Taste of Addison

I changed to mailed today also, I hope I can get it by Saturday

I'm finally in the system after they misplaced my first app from Feb. 9
I almost did a flip just now at work lol, I have been waiting and waiting now I feel like partying

Anyone have a number? My BG check has been "under review" with my Fingerprints for going on 3 weeks now...

I've been told before that having a TWIC card was the reason I was always delayed when purchasing a gun..


Any thoughts? Any phone number that works?

Calling early in the morning 8 am to 10 am usually is the best time to get someone to speak with or after 3:30 pm sometimes.

This is my issue I emailed my documents on February the 9th within days of both of you and I still have yet had a update. When I spoke them the a week ago they had me fax my information in just be safe if my documents had not been received. I called in the morning to find out they still do not know if they received my email and if it had been received it would get deleted right after they downloaded the documents. After speaking with the level 2 personal, which are the ones that enter in our information, told me that they have no way of looking for my files because they have over 12,000 apps to enter. Now it looks like I got pushed back to 3/13 when I faxed my documents over since they can not find my info, and everyone else that sent theirs in around my time are already going through background checks. This is just getting frustrating I just want a update showing my app is being processed

Sorry for the long rant

They received my app according to USPS tracking on 2/16, and nothing is showing up at all online yet. UGH, its driving me nuts checking the status 20 times a day. When do you start worrying they lost it and make a call?

If you call they will look and see if they have it in the system and if not tell you that could take 4 to 5 weeks. I called this morning and told the guy I'm in the 5th week (sent on the 9th online) and he said 5 weeks might not be long enough. I told him about others sending theirs after me and already in their background checks and he didn't have any response, so I guess it just a luck of the draw of whose app gets processed.

Very frustrating. At least I know I'm not alone (although it seems like everyone else from early Feb. is starting to get updates...) Maybe tomorrow...

I sent mine in 2/3 and still no update on the website so I know how you feel!

Called Monday and they said they see in the system that my paperwork was printed and my fingerprints received. He said that it really should be updated on the website by now but that they are so busy. He asked me to call back Friday if no update and they will check on it.

Looks like my packet was printed and then never got put in the right file...........

This makes me feel better to know because I can not even get them on phone, I hope they are processing my app even though it has not updated on the website. Can I ask how long did you wait on hold for them to answer the phone and the time of day?

First time posting, but have been lurking for awhile

1/27 Online Application
2/1 Fingerprints
2/9 CHL Class
2/9 Emailed documents

As of today still says waiting on documents, this wait is getting real long. My issue is that I am moving out of my apartment at the end of April and I hope it comes before then. I made the mistake of not using my permanent address instead of my school address
