Re: December Waiting
Congratulations, AdamJ1555. The last days of waiting for the license to get to you are the hardest.
Re: December Waiting
AdamJ got his in 53 days, excluding 3 public holidays. It's getting better!

Re: December Waiting
I have a question. I actually submitted my application late December and completed my fingerprints first week of January. Got an update when I logged in my status reads : License Status: Application packet has been received from the applicant, the application is in progress. Show receipt
Application : Received
Fingerprints : Under review
Affidavits : Received
DL or ID : Valid
Citizenship : No documentation required
Passport photo holder : Received
Photo : Received
Proof of Classroom training : Received
Proof of Proficiency training : Received
Fee : Received
Background Check : Under review
Concealed Handgun License : Print pending completion of application review
But my application, fingerprints, background check are highlighted in yellow with exclamation points. What does that mean?

Re: December Waiting
it means there under review your status should change daily or every other day...when they turn green it means that step is completed...my status went from same as yours to mailed in a matter of 4 days...nothing to worry about and good luck
Re: December Waiting
What this experience and the posts here have taught me is that it all in the luck of the draw (there's a pun in there somewhere). What is consistent is the patience. :)
Re: December Waiting
My wife's status changed to "mailed" today. She turned all her documents in around the middle of December. I couldn't take the course with her. I was out of town that day. My stuff was turned in Jan. 6th. Maybe I get lucky and am only 2-3 weeks away.

Should be any day now!
Equality, rightly understood as our founding fathers understood it, leads to liberty and to the emancipation of creative differences; wrongly understood, as it has been so tragically in our time, it leads first to conformity and then to despotism. Barry Goldwater
Re: December Waiting
I find it interesting how the State doesn't do these in order. I turned in everything by 12/6 and haven't seen one update yet. I see people that turned the paperwork in back in November are still waiting for the first update, too.
