I mailed my app on June 4th, Priority shipment from Ft. Worth..USPS said it would take 2-3 days to get to Austin..I called today just to make sure they have received it because I haven't seen a change in status online yet..They checked my DL and said they can't find me in the system.. Has anyone else ran into this? Now I'm thinking they didn't receive the App..

I have been watching a few on here and most show "Processing Application" within about 10 days from the day they mail the App in..I wish I was Patient!!

Last year but mine took 1 month to get into the system.

How can you see the status w/o the Pin being issued?????

I have a PIN, I originally did an online application about 2 weeks before I took the class, then mailed it back.

I had a similar issue. I mailed it off and it took almost three weeks before they finally changed the status from "Packet Mailed to Applicant" to "Application Incomplete - Detailed Letter sent to Applicant"

My instructor forgot to date my TR-100 for the qualification portion so they sent it back to me.

So they updated their website on Wednesday last week, I received my TR-100 on Thursday and mailed it back off on Friday.

Now we wait to see how long it takes to get the actual ball rolling.

Yuk! I hope nothing like that happens to mine!

Did you mail it with any kind of receipt return? I sent mine registered mail and it took a solid seven days for the USPS to deliver it to Austin, from Houston. So,,, is the problem with DPS or USPS or both?

No I didn't do the confirmation, wish I did now...My luck it got lost in the mail

Be patient. DPS takes anywhere up to a month to start working on your packet after they receive it. Until they start working on it, the status will remain "Packet mailed to applicant." Mine was at that status for 5 weeks after I mailed it in, and I got it in pretty decent time (only took about 10 days to process once they got to it).

mine changed to 'processing' after about a week..
keep in mind that they get on average, about 1200 packs per week..
I'm concerned that after Virginia Tech, there has been a slam on the FBI for fingerprints (CHL related) NATIONWIDE... Imagine the FBI getting 20-30K fingerprint cards per WEEK...

ok cool, that makes it better knowing some took about 30 days to change!

I mailed mine from San Antonio on June 4 also. I called western Union on the 18th and they said my money order was cashed on the 15th. so I am expecting a PIN in the mail any day. If they cashed the check than they must have started on my application proces, right?

My timelines are in my signature....still waiting here.

Not necessarily. The envelopes get opened, Checks go into deposits, and applications go into stacks.

Went to Processing Application Today!!!!
