Well, tomorrow I finish out week 12 and start on week 13. Hopefully, it's a lucky 13. Does anybody seem to notice that system updates happen more on Tuesday/Wednesday than any other day of the week or is it just me? Checking timelines that have been posted, it seems that is the case. Another reason why I wonder what the H is going on in Austin?

The wife's status still says Packet Mailed to Applicant even though application was received in Austin on Feb 6.

28 Oct 2007 - took the CHL class
2 Nov 2007 - mailed application
26 Nov 2007 - received PIN, checked online status = "Processing Application"
3 Dec 2007 - received letter, more info needed
7 Dec 2007 - i provided the the info they requested, online status = "Processing Application"

As of today, 28 March 2008, status is still "Processing Application".

That's nearly 5 months since I mailed it in. :cryin
This is unbelievable! I hope you've contacted them and be sure to tell them that they've exceeded their 60 day window!

Well I got my pin 26 days after Austin got my packet. No complaints over here!
