FInally got mine in. Two weeks after i called my rep, would have been sooner but the DPS lied(didn't tell the whole story) to the lady from Jim Pitts office.
Anyway, call, it does help.

Well, DPS received my packet on march 23. Been waiting on BG check for WEEKS!!!!! There is absolutely nothing that should hinder this part for me. Squeaky clean...same county since i was 12...always lived in Texas...same employer past 5 years...

Trying to be patient, but this is absurd. Getting close to the 60 day mark. Nothing should take 60 days to complete. Even Rome was built in 59 days!!!!

Called today(my 4th time to call) and the lady said my application is being finalized so it "shouldn't be too much longer." I though to myself, ok great a couple more days. Then she says, I would check back in a couple weeks...???? Really???? It now takes a couple weeks to "finalize it" whatever that means.

I thought for sure I would have it in time for my trip to Florida next week...guess not. I'm going to my room to sulk

Almost there.

5/12 - Mailed!

Wish mine was, background pending nearly a month

creeping up on 2 months total wait time
People that i took the class with and sent their packets in after me have already received theirs
I know it's a government thing, but how can it possible be this disorganized? very frustrating.
I have clean background, lived in the same county since I was 12. Don't understand the hold-up

ugh, now people that I took the class with and that mailed their applications in after mine are receiving their plastic...
I blame Obama

What address is on your CHL?

My home address is on my chl. It's really weird.

Do you work at home?

Today is 30 (calendar) days from when they received my packet. First status update was April 15, still waiting on BG check.

ugh...
Well, the good news is my status is updated finally after about 3 weeks .

I sent my paperwork in on the 22 of march, recieved on 24th. I realized I had left out the "photo holder" which isn't a photo holder at all.
I promptly mailed it out the next day and called to see what i needed to do to ensure it would go with my application.
I was given a fax number and told to fax it in with a certain number on the cover page and they would put it with my app. Sweeeet, or so I thought.

Boy was I suprised when I logged in today to see a big red X next to photo holder. So, neither of the 2 i sent in were found??????

Call again today. Guy was very polite and so was I. He asked what number i faxed to, told him. He asked when, I told him. "Hmmm, well probably what had happened was...yada yada yada"
Can you fax it in again to that same number. It's like 10 feet away from us, we'll get it in the system right away. So, hopefully my 3rd copy will get where it needs to be.

Seems a lot of people's were mailed on the 7th. I wonder if they wait for until they fill a certain number and then manufacture the group on the same day?

Just thought I'd add my status:

3-7 Online App
3-14 FAST fingerprints
3-19 Class (missed 2 on the written test??? ) but on the important part 250/250
3-19 Photos
3-22 Mailed packet
3-24 Received packet
4-05 website status: Waiting to receive materials...
