80 days since I mailed mine on October 17, and just got a status change online two or three days ago, so yeah... it's taking forever to get through them.

I read on one of the member's post that DPS is currently working on mid Oct. apps. So hang in there. It will be a long wait. :totap:

I just wish the would update the page frequently. The wait not be as bad if you at least knew that they received your papers. I did pay the extra for the return invoice and haven't seen one yet. -_-

Anyone who sent their docs in December will not see a status change until Feb.

Hi all! New to the forum here...I'm glad to see I'm not the only one worried about not receiving a status update yet.

Hang in there guys. I bet this is from people who didn't apply during the Summer and waited until September so they could take a shorter class. DPS probably got double or triple the normal volume in one month and the paperwork piled up. Times should get back to normal after the technicians make it through all of that backlog. Just be patient.
