The process has gone a lot quicker than I thought it would considering we're dealing with a relatively large bureaucracy. Assuming your record is clear, I think you'll be surprised by how quickly it moves along.

Mine went by pretty quickly. DPS updated their site this morning/last night to indicate it had been mailed. So, all in all, it was in the mail about 30 days after I sent it to them (that includes a couple of State/Federal holidays).

DPS Website finally updated today to package received and waiting back ground review. I was beginning to worry that my package had gotten lost somewhere. One step closer.....
