Just checked the DPS website.
'Background check under review'.
Mailed my docs in on 1-16.
Took 16 days from mailing it in to status change.

Meanwhile, the search for ammo continues.
No trips to the range until the shelves get restocked
And EVERYWHERE around here they are bare.

You and I are in the same line for the CHL. I wonder who will get theirs first?

[Watchful]

I'm hopefully right there with you all. Docs mailed 1-17. Status still shows waiting though

Hello all,

I'm new to the forum and new to CHL. I wanted to post my current timeline to help folks compare.

1/01/13 Online application
1/04/13 Fingerprinting done
1/05/13 CHL class done
1/07/13 Mailed packet
1/08/13 DPS signed for packet
1/25/13 DPS shows received and background check under review


I don't know what is more nerve racking, waiting on DPS or waiting on Crossbreed for my supertuck!

Status updated to "mailed" this morning!

Status updated to "mailed" this morning!

Anybody else check their status after someone else gets the good news? I am sure that DPS tracks information about what computer (ip address) logs in to check using a persons credentials for security reasons... They probably laugh about the number of times some people check.

I posted this in a separate post yesterday but I'll post it here as well since I mailed everything 1/1/2013. The process is moving faster than I imagined considering the increased volume the DPS is experiencing.
