I mailed mine on 1/24 and they received it on the 26th. My Background Check is still under review. They must have some people working these that are really good and then there must be some that are, well, not so good!

I picture the CHL department having one of those raffle machines like this: , and they make a few draws every day. If your number comes up, you get a green check mark. :D

you know if a private company was doing the CHL's & not government, we would have them in our hands in 2 weeks!

I guess i need to just stop checking the website, and get my mind off of it and it will be in my mail box before i know it.

That's probably exactly what happens. They pick up the mail every few days then toss it into a container then just reach in and start application. So an application that just got there the same day has as good\ a chance as an application sent a week earlier.

Man some of you guys are impatient, already harassing the DPS after only 15 days. You guys do know that the more you call the less time they have to process.

Congrats though!!!!
