Hot doggies steking! Super congrats!

....I've seen many here on the forum that waited well over 120 days.

That's true JC77, but that was last summer, and before when they were totally overwhelmed with applications. Towards the end of August DPS work through the backlog for the most part, and now should be pretty well caught up. See my timeline, and others.

DPS lady I spoke with said that they have everything they need from me and that current processing times is 4 mos.

Oh horse hockey! I don't buy that. I believe the lady you spoke to said that to get you off her back.

I think you are right at 71 days since DPS received your packet. If it were me, I'd call them back and ask to speak to a tech. The call takers, bless their hearts try to help but they don't have the training or expertise to know if something else is going on. The only good results I ever had was when I was transferred to a tech. That's your best bet.

Be sure and keep a log of who you talked to, what they said, and the time they said it. It may help you later if there is really a snag in your processing. If that fails(or doesn't satisfy you) it's time to call and email your State Representative and State Senator and ask them for assistance in expediting.

With all that said, take into consideration the delay in background checks if you've moved several times in the past 5 years, or have multiple jobs in the same time frame. That ALWAYS slows down the b/g check.
