My wife did her application on 4/21 and mailed the paperwork in on 4/28. There still hasn't been any status. She called today and they said they had no record of receiving her paperwork (ARGH). They told her to give it a full 4-5 weeks before doing anything???

I didnt have any changes until today- none. So i waited from 4/18 or so until 5/13 before the website changed. If its anything like mine though, once it changes its super quick. As of today im justwaiting on print and mail.

Mine turned the same as yours on 5/10. I was hoping for an update by Friday but did not get it. Hopefully next week will go to mail. :totap:

Ugh. That seems messed up. When I got mine this past February, I sent it in and a week later, the web site acknowledged receipt. It still took 2+ weeks to do the background check, etc, but it at least told us that they received the stuff.
