Re: 2016 Application Watch - post your 2016 timelines here

To my fellow waiting room patrons:

It's been fun. This forum helped with the wait. It was comical at times and interesting at most.

As it was once said "all things must come to an end". So with that, I depart the "waiting room" with a heavy heart.

Good luck to those who have been waiting far longer than I have and to all the newbies who have just started posting.

Keep my seat warm..........

I think I may have made a clerical error. I applied for my license in Jan. A week or so later, I took the class and did my fingerprints the same day. I submitted all supporting documents the next day. Here's where it gets tricky. I don't "think" I ever received a confirmation e-mail. That's not to say that I did receive an e-mail, but then deleted it knowing full well that I just submitted my documents and thought the e-mail was frivolous. Big mistake. Reviewing all the posts in this forum made me realize I better make sure I get a confirmation e-mail, plus I may have goofed submitting the documents to RSD the first time and never actually received an e-mail (I've seen a post or two to make sure you select the right buttons when submitting online docs). Whatever the case, I re-submitted the docs and this time I did get a confirmation e-mail.

Unfortunately, I think my clock has reset because I read somewhere that said do not re-submit supporting docs as this will only slow down the process. Great. So, basically I wasted almost 3 full weeks.

I have not contacted RSD in any way, nor have I contacted state rep or governor's office. I plan on waiting it out.

Here's my timeline:

UPDATED!!!

Application: 1/21/16
Fingerprints: 1/30/16
CHL-100: 1/30/16
Uploaded docs to RSD: 1/31/16
Re-uploaded docs to RSD: 2/19/16
Confirmation e-mail: 2/19/16
Website changed: 4/29/16
Plastic in hand: 5/2/16

I'll let you know if anything changes. I'll keep watching this forum.
Holy Toledo!!! Plastic has arrived!!!

I had to double check to make sure everything was correct, etc. No issues.

Total calendar time: 92 days
Total business time: 63 days (less holidays, Sats and Suns)

I'll peek in over the next few days to see if anyone else has received plastic, but my time in the "waiting room" is 'bout over.

Good luck all!!!

PS: Never contacted state rep, govenor's office, or RSD.....

Disqualifying conviction in 1997 was expunged in 2002. However, CA county never forwarded docs to DOJ. Last year I was denied picking up my handgun (purchased legally in 2012 at TX Gun Shop) from a local pawn. I had to Appeal to reinstate my right to own & possess a MY already LEGALLY purchased firearm. I received my VAF number and new printout of my criminal background from DOJ, NICS. The disqualifier was no longer on record.

Note: there are numerous Databases the federal and state agencies use for background checks. My husband was a security contractor with secret clearance says every federal department uses their use systems. And none of the agencies share info.
Gnamaree!!! Haven't seen you around in this forum as of late.

Sorry you are having issues. Hang tough.

Originally was 3 breaks and two torn ligaments... 4/20 they put in 3 pins, an anchor and wired what was left of the ligaments back to bone. They put a full cast on it up to the knee yesterday actually. Have 4 more weeks of no weight bearing at all on that leg. My wally walk will be a wally scooter cruise
LOL, too funny ret. I needed that. I'll look out for you and your scooter hog cruising around wally world.

PS: In all seriousness, sorry 'bout your ankle. Ouch! Take your time to let that heal up.

Now for the wait....
Update:

22 Apr 2016... Called both Reggie's voicemail, left a message and also called the main RSD number. RSD wouldnt give me any other info than "Still processing"
23 Apr 2016... Reggie returned my call and said that I was approved, expect plastic in hand 7-10 days
29 Apr 2016... Website changed today :woohoo jumped off couch and one leg hopped to the mail box (just had ankle rebuilt in surgery wednesday) no plastic yet
Ret, I can picture you hobbling to the mailbox. I know you only had your ankle rebuilt, but I picture you having a full leg cast and that stiff leg kicking out to the side in a looping motion as you head to the mailbox.............

Re: 2016 Application Watch - post your 2016 timelines here

Mixed posts here. Some are getting their plastic or seeing status changes :), some are not seeing anything :(. For awhile, I thought things were on the up and up since I've been seeing nothing but good positive posts.

A gentleman called back a couple of hours later and said that my license is in San Antonio and I should get it by next week. I asked him why it was in San Antonio when I live in Austin. He replied that all the licenses including driver's licenses are mailed from san antonio.
Interesting. I thought it was mailed from Austin. Who woulda thunkit?

Did the website ever change for you?
