Well checked it today and it says application complete !!!!!!!!

It took 105 days. The biggest hold up on mine was because I am a British National. My application sat for 60 days while they check my immigration status. So they didn't start the background checks until July 24th. Must say that I did ring them a lot to find out what was going on.

So I have a nice warm chair available here in the waiting room.

I also wish that all the other people who are outstanding from May get the good news soon. Now just waiting for my plastic !!!!

Well gave DPS a call and actually spoke with a lady that was able to talk me through my application. As the last they told me was that it had been sent to imaging.

It turns out that it has not.

They got the packet on May 23rd 2008. They only started the background checks on July 24th 2008. So my packet has been sat there doing nothing for 62 days.

The very helpful lady told me that the background check will take anything from 45-90 days and that to call back at the end of the month to check status. Which will make it approx 100 days from them getting the packet.

The biggest issue i have here is that every time I have called i have been given different information and all of it until now has been false and misleading. I understand that they are swamped and very busy. But that does not stop them from telling people the correct information.

Well spoke with the DPS again today and its still at imaging. Which is what they have told me for the past 2 weeks. So fingers crossed it will show up soon... 73 days in as of today
