Re: March 2014 Applications
yeah it does no good to check site for updates several times a day because it appears that it updates between 6AM to 7AM and when mine updated the first time everything was completed and it said manufactured pendingeff_vee wrote:hi i am new to the forum. my packet was received at DPS on March 5, 2014 (i have stamped return receipt). the website says 'awaiting documents'.
Any suggestions? (other than sitting quietly and waiting)
Re: March 2014 Applications

Re: March 2014 Applications
I also submitted mine online via RDS. I got an email confirmation the same day saying they received my documents and I have since called and confirmed.jmra wrote:Many applicants (initial and renewal) here on the forum have successfully used RDS to upload and send their docs.duboseaw wrote:You guys may correct me if I'm wrong. But from what I gather, it looked like DPS only allowed uploading of docs through the website for renewals while the passport photo requirement was still in effect, which makes sense to me.JR Texas wrote:I did not know you could upload the documents on an initail CHL application.

Re: March 2014 Applications
I just talk to them they told to give them 8 weeks before any status change.
Re: March 2014 Applications
I stalk the February thread (admit it, so do yall!) and a lot of people that have called we're told to give it 8 weeks, or 90 days then ended up getting an update sooner than that. I think it's what they say to try and get people not to call often. It seems to be taking the February people about 45 days with some exceptions so if I get nothing by 60 days, I'll call on it. Is call and confirm at 45 days that they have all my stuff though.

Re: March 2014 Applications
60 days would be a miracle! I'm on day 129; 5 phone calls, various emails, written correspondence .... I am about at my wits end with these bumbling folks. I don't think anyone knows what is really going on between various people in this organization. They can't seem to get all my paperwork to the correct place.....
