Congrats!

I've been waiting 11 weeks....

I feel like a little kid that can't wait for Christmas!

I hope your right, nothing came in the mail for me today and the status on the website hasn't changed..

Just checked mine right now and nope, still shows

"CHL APPLICATION STATUS: If you have a pending CHL application, please allow sufficient time for processing. If you have not already done so, please submit all of the items listed on the checklist you received. DPS will notify you by mail if further information or additional documents are required"

It's been two months to the date now, and still waiting...

Hopefully I should get my plastic soon, its been over 2 months now...

I called RSD this afternoon and wow... didnt even have to be put on hold, as soon as I pressed "1" the phone range & a nice man named "victor" answered and was able to answer all my questions. He tolded me that they have recently been backing up with so many apps coming in and that I should get a update on my status next week... Until then..

I'm just curious as to how many people got their plastic in the mail before the status online updated? I've been checking everyday & no update's yet. I did send a email to RDS this morning inquiring about my status....

It is frustrating, I feel like a little kid that can't wait for Christmas day...

Dont feel so bad, I sent in my app & all supporting docs back in Feb 19th, broke down & called on March 12th & was told that they started processing & background checks on Feb 26th.

Aaaaahhhgh!

I got a letter from RDS yesterday informing me of a delay on my app due to an arrest back in 1989 that I didnt list. The reason why I didnt list it was mainly because I was 19 yrs old at the time, I was given 30 days probation for a misdemeanor battery (not family related) But my father told me that they were going to get it expunged and all these years it never showed up in any background checks so I didnt think anything of it, but yup, there it is...

Now since I'm living in Texas & this arresst occured in Illinois many years ago I'm no exchanging emails with the PD up there getting arrest info emailed to me as I type, in addition my mother who still lives in Illinois is going to head over to the county court house & see if she could get a copy of the disposition & email it to me, so I can send this off to RDS. I have 90 days to complete this or my app will get denied due to being incomplete.

I do not believe this to be a disquailifying factor & I'm confident that I'll get my CHL, just have to wait a bit longer..
