Went home on my lunchbreak to check the mailbox as my mail man runs at 10:00 am.


PLASTIC IN HAND!!! 72 days from mailbox to mailbox

Walked into subway with the Para Slim Hawg on my hip. Felt strange and good all at the same time!!

Oh, and I am in Irving

Well I hate to ruin y'alls day... But, my mail runas at 10:00 am.... Just checked it and no plastic. Dang this is getting frustrating. Day 67 for me.

Today after hearing that harleyguy and a few others that went to "mailed" on the 22 like mine, I had to take off early to check the mail.

Behold......................................... Junk mail and bills. Dangit. Watch mine get lost in the mail or something cool like that.

Finally!!!

Mailed packet Feb 14th. Received in Austin the 18th.

Today I am at "mailed"!!!!!

He checked and couldn't see what was hanging up my BG and asked me to hold for a couple of moments. When he came back to the phone he said my BG would go green this afternoon and I would see my license in about 2 weeks.

Two weeks?!? Good lord. My BG just cleared last Thursday, and immediately went to manufacturing pending to manufacturing on Friday morning. I sure hope it isn't another two weeks before they get it printed and in the mail!!

gah!!! I was really hoping to have my plastic by this coming Friday, but I don't think that is going to happen. Has been "manufacturing" since last Friday Morning.. With the 2-3 days mail time, and Good Friday-Easter this weekend, I think it will be mid week next week!!!

Oh, and today marks day 60.

I had a top secret Crypto security clearance background check done in the military that didn't take half as long. My background check status has not updated in over 3.5 weeks.

Had the same problem. Give them a call and it should help out.

My background check (which is clean) took around 3.5 weeks as well...

Manufacturing now!!

Background check just went green!!

Manufacture Pending!!! Get that thing printed and in the mail please!!!

How long did it take for yalls status to go from manufacturing - mailed - in hand?

aggghh!!! yall are making it difficult!! congrats on your plastic!!

I took class Feb 13, fingerprints sent via FAST, and online application

Mailed packet Feb 14 via certified mail, recieved Feb 18.

My status was updated Mar 18.. 27 days for an update.

Been waiting on BG check for 24 days.. I am at 51 days.

Yup, they have had my application for 46 days now... This waiting game is getting tough!! I can only imagine what it would be like 3-4 years ago when the wait was 4-5 months!!

I'm still waiting. ]I've called the past three Mondays to check status, today the guy told me that I was calling too much.[/color]
I only call because they provide better info over the phone. Calling once a week and speaking to somebody for less than 2 minutes isn't too much, is it?

Not to be bitter or rude, but I think you probably are calling a lil too often... Seems that a few applications have flown through there office, and others (like mine and yours) have gone rather slowly. I don't have anything on my background check, and my online status still says "background check: under review". But I am only at 38 days (recieved in Austin Feb 19). They still state on there website that they will do there best to get you a CHL within 60 days, but processing can take up to 180 days.

So I would just wait (easier said than done!!!) and try to relax a lil!! Trust me, I know it is not going to be easy!!

Yup, BIL got his plastic in the mail today.... Funny, I dropped his in the mail with mine, and I just got an online status this week!!! GRRR!!

Took his 4 days from "mailed" to plastic in hand.
