Thanks Cen Tx. I check spam daily. The one automated response went to my regular mail folder, but there has been nothing in the spam folder from RSD.

I was absolutely certain I would have mine by Thanksgiving. Now, I'm hoping to have it by Christmas. Already been through 3 Federal holidays since I submitted my documentation. Columbus Day, Veteran's Day, and Thanksgiving Day. Less than 3 weeks until Christmas now.

Have you got your first update yet? I'm a week behind you.

No, as of today, I haven't received any update. It still says they are waiting on the required documentation. Today is 8 weeks since I put it in the mail. I just sent it first class. Now, I wish I would have sent it "Return receipt requested". For all I know, it's lost.

Also, two weeks ago I sent them an E-mail requesting that they verify receipt of my documents. Got an automated reply saying they would look in to it, but I should give them sufficient time to respond.
So far, nothing from that either.

Congrats to you and TxWaltherfan. Hopefully I am only about 1 week behind you guys. Mailed mine on the 9th of October.

Thanks jmra, I will do that Monday.

I was one of "those" that didn't make any copies of anything and stuck it in the mail. I know...I know. I'm so regretting that now that I've read about people uploading theirs on the website. Grrr! The website still says waiting on the receipt of materials but from what others have experienced, I shouldn't expect an update anytime soon. I hope it goes by fast!

09/26 CHL Application
10/04 CHL Class
10/17 Fingerprints
10/17 Mailed Documents to Austin

If it makes you feel any better, I did the same thing. In hindsight, I wish I would have waited a day and made a copy of the CHL-100 at least.
