Well I am in the room

#1

Post by houston tugboat »

After lurking I have joined and figured I would document my timeline so far:

CHL Class : 12/15/2012
CHL Application submitted: 12/20/2012
Fingerprinted: 12/26/2012
Documents sent: 12/28/2012
Documents signed for: 01/02/2013

My best guess with the numbers is expect to see plastic on March 15... lets see how close I get --- dps shows status as waiting for paperwork to be recieved..

I believe it goes by the mailed documents. I completed my online app in June and finally got around to my fingerprints in December. Sent all doc's in on 12-18 and my status has still not changed (Waiting on Documents). I don't think i have been this impatient about anything!!! :boxing

Hmm seems that the status update is getting closer, seeing those who sent in a week or 2 before me getting updated status. Guess we will see what next week brings. Seeing that I have several Federally held licenses all with fingerprints and background checks the systems would be fast to link them together...?
