2) "Processing Application" - Is that the only info that this big - "Check the status of your application" thing does. Is that all it's about? The first message will say (if you apply online), "Packet mailed to applicant" when they are processing, you will get your current message, When everything is done, it will say something along the lines of "Application complete, License active" or something similar - I havent reached that point yet. Then another wait for the mailman, which I think although shorter, will be the hardest wait!
Also, the website does not seem to be updated on a consistant basis. Some have called in to see whats taking so long, and found out that they are processing the application even though the website doesnt reflect the fact.3) What is the real average time people wait to get their application approved and license sent - Is it really about a 60 day average? If everything checks out, expect to wait at least 60 days, give or take a week or so. Sorry if the info seems vague, but thats about all I can figure.
4) Anything to be gained by calling DPS and inquiring as to the status? No. You might be able to call and get a PIN, but dont quote me on that. Calling them doesnt seem to speed anything up.
On the bright side, You have discovered a great site and alot of good info can be found here. Welcome aboard
My 60 day anniversary is coming up. Checking the website daily!
