April Application

[CedarElm7]

No CHL yet in the mailbox ...

Sorry, armanius! Maybe tomorrow.

Although ... mine arrived in the mail 6 days after the "Mailed" update appeared. Since your "Mailed" update appeared on 6/13, if it follows the same schedule as mine, it might not arrive till Wednesday.

But I'm hoping you get it tomorrow!

I checked the status this morning at 08:30 - Status was manufacturing.

I just checked my status at 10:40 It has updated to MAILED...

It does pay to check your status more than once a day after you enter the BG review.

I think I am the last person in this (April) thread to get to the mailed status. I will be away from home for the next 3 weeks. I had my license originally and let it expire in 2001. I will not let it lapse again.

I'll update my original post.

So, checked the mail at lunch, still not in there

Congrats, cprems!!!

Tomorrow's gotta be the day, armanius and infidex!

Thanks.

I can wait on my license. I sure hope that armanius and infidex get theirs tomorrow.

Congrats, cprems!!!

Thanks my friends. Looking forward to the mail!

No, unfortunately, you are not.

Mailed 4/22, still in "BG under review".

When did you go to BG review?

From the looks of things in this thread it can last from anywhere from 3-5 weeks. Mine was exactly 5 weeks from 4/10. Mine is a little different since I had a DA to contend with.

If DPS has had your paperwork (received) for 60 days, I'd give them a call. I did and my status changed within 2 days to BG completed. It may have been coincidence or they may have forgotten to update my status.

Give it a try and see what happens. I was told it could take an extra month due to the DA but it updated to complete 48 hours later.

Good luck and keep us updated.

Also, thanks for your service. I appreciate what you did for this great Country.
