When your status changes over to complete, they mail it either that day or the day after. See my time for details.

GOT IT TODAY !!!

Went to the mailbox for regular check, not expecting anything yet.

Their site changed my status from 'Processing' to 'Completed' on Wednesday, 10/15/09.

TODAY, Saturday, 10/17/09 it came in the mail. Envelope was postmarked the 15th, the same day the status changed. Could it be that they are getting more efficient? Probably not, I just got lucky.
If the 2nd admendment only applies to muskets and muzzle-loaders, then the 1st admentment must apply only to the spoken or printed word. Printing must be done on hand presses, news stories must be written in longhand, no keyboards or electric processes may be used.

My wife's app was sent on June 20, fingerprints redone and mailed on August 8. Her status is still on "processing app." How much time since the fingerprints were done (a few days over 60 days now) before e-mails or phone calls questioning the status?

I have seen posts from forum members that got some quick action by contacting their state rep/senator. I had a mix-up on the renewal on my drivers license this summer. After some buck passing by a local city and the DPS saying it was the other's fault, I contacted my state rep. The next morning I had 2 phone calls from the DPS saying that all had been straightened out and my license was out for printing and would be in the mail in just a couple of days.

The question is should she start contacting the DPS now, or wait for another 20 or so days (90 days from resubmitting the fingerprints)?

Mike this has gone from the beginning of summer well into fall. IMO tomorrow is the time to start calling and emailing your State Congressman and Senator. You've been(or rather your wife has been) more than patient. ;-)

I will let her know it's time to take some action. She doesn't have much time to call during the day, but she can get an e-mail sent today to DPS and state rep. I see that Joe's app went in Aug 8 and he had the plastic on Oct 10, 60 or 61 days. Her fingerprints went in also on Aug 8 and nothing has happened yet. I will get the ball rolling. I might even draft an e-mail for her. Thanks all! :txflag:

After all that, we sat down this evening to watch some TV. I asked my wife when the last time she checked her status was. She said it had been three or four days. I asked "why don't you check it." She said "it won't change on the weekend." In about 10 minutes she was squealing and waving her arms. Without her checking her status everyday (like I did!), we don't know when the status changed, but she should look forward to getting the plastic in the mailbox some this week. I'm very proud and excited for her. It has been a long journey to get the license and look forward to being able to "double up" on protection when we are out together. And, more importantly, she can now carry for her own protection. :txflag:
