March 2009 Applications

[Rigger 609]

wrote representative and he forwarded me this response from TX DPS:

"Currently your application is delayed due to the Harris County Investigation Report. As soon as it comes in I will issue the license."

anyone ever heard of this?? same thing as a background check?

Yep. I guess that the State rep's. don't have any pull now. I contacted two (2) state rep's. and received two (2) calls from DPS in 10 min's. time. Both said the same thing. "We are waiting on Harris county to finish the background check."

So part of the delay is due to the computers being down? Wonder when they will start blaming the long delays on swine flu?

I'm worried that they will find that my prints or my photo are no good. Looking for the next thing to blame the delay on.

I'm thinking of writing the Lt. Gov and the Gov's office, and every media outlet in the state. I guess if your going to go down you should go down big

Checked my status today and got a shock! It has said "processing application" for months now, but today it said "No application or license/certificate active". Whoa, what does that mean?

I've done that couple of times by forgetting to change the month from Jan to my birth month.

This might be the most ridiculous process in history! I think you can get a green card faster.

Actually no, nothing beats the slowness of that process...

My wife's took just under 18 months from original application submission to actual Green Card Receipt.
Then her 3-year renewal took 1 year, 3 months...

HOWEVER, at least they issue a temporary work authorization card in the meantime! That only took 2 months to get...

I'm with the crowd that says we should be issued a temporary carry permit within like 15 days until the permanent one arrives

I e-mailed my state rep last Friday asking him to check the status of my application which was sent to DPS on March 30.
I received a reply today(no kidding) that he had contacted DPS and was told that they would produce my license within 2 days and ship it UPS Express-Next Day Air. I am to send him an e-mail confirming my receipt of the license.

Application Completed - license issued or certificate active

I'd say 'bout time, but that is pretty obvious!

Time to start watching the mailbox, not the web site!
