Wow! Congrats to you too DaMonsta! Great processing times. DPS said back in early August, that they'd be caught up on the application surge by October....I guess they are right.

That's the way it SHOULD be....short processing and approval times.

Wow...after submitting packets for my wife and I a little over three weeks ago, I really wasn't expecting squat until the late part of Jan/Feb timeframe. Imagine my surprise when I checked the mail yesterday and there's a envelope from the processing center. I was expecting some long letter telling me they needed something else yada yada yada...but low and behold what do we have here...but two shiny plastics.

Good job Austin!

Not yet. I am going to have to wait a few days. I had surgery today on my right ear to restore hearing so I would no longer have to rely upon hearing aids. I'll have to remain bandaged for the next 48 hrs by that time I will be ready for my WW. In fact, that was the first thing Ms Ammo said when she brought me the envelope. :hurry:
