29 days for first status update
Posted: Tue Jan 15, 2013 9:21 am
12/12/12 - Filed electronic application (give or take a day)
12/13/12 - Fingerprints taken
12/14/12 - Took Class
12/15/12 - Required materials sent via Express Mail
12/17/12 - DPS Received Express Mail package with required materials (29 days of waiting begins)
1/15/13 - Background check under review (Status changed prior to 8:00 am this morning and I checked late last night. Maybe updates overnight?)
1/17/13 - Manufacturing Pending
1/18/13 - Manufacturing
1/19/13 - Mailed
1/22/13 - Received
I'm sure it's coincidence but on 1/14/13 I sent a very nicely worded email asking if 28 days was normal with no status update considering the holidays and increased workload. The next day my status changed for the first time. I'm sure they're doing the best they can with the staff they have.
Also, my status changed between 3:30 am and 6:20 am this morning. I'm beginning to feel confident the web site only updates once per day very early in the morning.
