Tonya did say that it was taking them about 12 weeks to process an application--I know this doesn't help.
All that I can say is that I have waited 32 years to get my first Harley (still don't have it yet, I just have the go ahead from the wife (CFO/CEO) for purchase), so, as long as the plastic comes in before the 32 year mark, I should be good.
P.S.
I was wearing my super lucky Dallas Cowboys pajamas when I made this call--if they can't break the spell, then this is some kind of uber-bad-juju. Really, these pajamas prevented the worldwide computer melt down in 2000.

My friend and I both applied the same time. I sent everything snail mail, while he submitted everything electronically....my website changed and his has not. They told him he still to early to call.
Yeah, looking back on it now, I wish I had sent in my documents via pony express. It seems that the more antiquated the means of delivery the faster they are able to process the application. I wonder if the designee(s) even have computers--that would explain a lot.
Although it does seem to indicate a point at which labor may be divided--physical vs digital. Being a systems engineer, I am curious about their digital set up, it seems that they may have a means of file distribution, e.g. email, file servers, but it seems that they may be lacking any back end systems that actually parse the data they receive. Which got me to thinking about the FBI and how many BGs they are probably having to process a day; which reminded me of NCIS and their supposed access to data systems; which then turned my attention to Star Wars and the apparent lack of tracking of individuals on a galactic basis and before you knew it, I was wondering if I would ever apply for a license to carry a light saber in my lifetime...

It seems like people get their plastic 2 days after website changes? Mine changed yesterday and Im trying to figure out when I should get mine. Anyone that could chime in would be appreciated.
