You might consider firing them a quick email. Two points if you do this:

1. Your email should be short, to the point, and respectful. They may take a few days to respond, but from the brief phone call I had with one of the data entry folks, if they have to try and figure out why you are emailing them, it is going to take them longer to get back to you.
2. The reply will be short and too the point, even brusque. Don't take it personally. The data entry folks over there are pretty swamped from the email exchange that I had with them and the quick phone call that I received when I asked them about the status of my application a week or so ago.

Patience is difficult, especially when you are chomping at the bit like a kid at 5am on Christmas morning for an update or mailbox delivery (I know I still am )

TEXTOYS, how long ago did you submit your renewal application? Site updates have been very slow recently.

Background check complete, manufacturing pending. They updated on a Sunday, nice of 'em

Funny though, as my status took 27 days to show receipt of materials, and 4 days later background is complete. They must be having some IT issues over there with all of the other stories I have been reading about in here.
