I mailed my documents in 10 days before you did and I just got my plastic 2 days ago. I have a spotless record so there was nothing that the DPS had to dig deeper into. My plastic took a total of 46 days so you're not out of the realm of possibilities. Once the background check is over, things move pretty fast. If there is nothing in your background that is going to require further review I bet things will start moving here very soon.

Good luck with the wait...

Looks like it's still a little early to be hitting the panic button. I know it's been easy for me to get panicked and think I'm going to be denied but that's really just my mind getting away from me. I do have a couple of blips on my record but they're minor and over 30 years old. It's been reassuring to know that my waiting time is still well within the norm even for someone with no blips.

To quote Michael Valentine Smith, "Waiting is."

Cheers,

Paula
