As per our conversation, she stated to me that they are currently working on the timeframe around Jan. 11th applications as of right now. She stated that they are processing out approximately 1400 applications a day at this moment but each day they are receiving in approx 2000 more. She also stated to me that they have pulled people from "other divisions" of DPS to help process these applications and that they have hired some temp workers as well. They are also working 7 day weeks now until they are caught up and they are offering other dept. personnel overtime hours if they want to stay an additional 4 hours a day to assist with them. I think they are doing their best and it is very frustrating that some people are getting their stuff processed faster than others. When I asked her about this… as I was ALL IN on the 28th of January, she didn't have an explanation for this but stated that they are trying to be fair and keep things in order and are trying their best to get these things processed. She gave me her direct # and told me to give them a week and to call her back for another update if I would like. She also confirmed that my background check had already been complete but until my application was actually input into the computer system, (which it has not been yet), that nothing else could be done with it at this point. So I will try to get another update from her this time next week.

Hope this helps some.

Were there any other differences between the two of you? Veteran, police officer, or anything?

Two weeks? That's amazing! Did you file on the website or did you send it in by snail mail? Be nice to you husband because he may be in for a wait like the rest of us.
