Well some of the background checks can take a variable amount of time.

Let's say they get two apps, mine first, yours next.

They process them exactly in that order. Then on day #5 of actual processing,they submit mine for the background check in my county, and yours in your county the very next day.

Then my background check takes 6 weeks to complete, yours takes 1 week.

So you get your CHL 5 weeks earlier than I do.

Did they process them out of order? Who knows.

anyway I don't necessarily think they are truly processing them in order but I don't think it's as bad as we are making it to be. I think they have a poorly executed process, or one which has formerly been bad but now is in flux or improving, and they are just trying to make it work as best as they can. Maybe there's a better way, maybe they mess things up, but it's not intentional.

what an amazing coincidence.

Or why they complete some July applications before May applications.

They are blaming it on the background checks. But I seriously doubt there is a two month difference in background check times based on which county you are in, or the federal BG check actually has a +/- 8 weeks timeframe. I think they are passing the buck.

well I'm almost a month ahead of you guys and they also told me I am waiting for the background check to come back.

I remain unconvinced that this is real information.

Yeah the solution is, do the new ones first, and forget about the people who filed before June.
