Just got mine funny thing is my status is still
Background and print pending

[RyanR]

I wondered if that could happen. I read that the people that update the status are different than the people that issue the licenses. Hum....maybe mine will show up even though mine says under review.

Just waiting and checking daily now lol. Hopefully something happens soon.

As of 8-13-16, before their site went under maintenance, was still at fingerprints/bg under review. Crazy to see all these applicants who completed after me get theirs issued before me, some barely even two weeks later...Anyone have a clue why some people, myself included, are having their fingerprints under review for so long?

No idea. I'm in the same boat.

[RyanR]

Me too. It's strange.

[Horns88]

I have a hazmat license which requires background and fingerprints so I wish I could say that's why mine seems to be moving so fast, but my wife applied same as me and her status is the same. And my friend who also holds hazmat but applied back in March took him 3 months. So no idea. One thing I can say I've noticed the ones who took class and had all there paper work ready to go before they applied online move much quicker. Once you take the class the instructor has to submit the info as well so if you take class after you apply it all has to wait and then be matched up.

[RyanR]

Maybe I applied then took the class. I have a security license that is from dps with the same fingerprint type background check with the fbi. So I thought mine would be pretty quick.
