jeepdriver54 - CONGRATS - 24 days !!!
sinton - updated you in the stats - almost there !!!
me - checked with DPS today and learned that my background finally came back and that the file was with a technician - an extra step required to check something - thinking it through, perhaps that i've been back and forth from the US/UK about 12 times in the last year using my passport, might have put up a red flag - otherwise i'm clean...
thoughts anybody ?!

Re: Jan 2010 applications
I emailed DPS today to check the status of my application and also to check if I am not missing anything. I received an email stating that license is being printed and should receive it within 1-2 weeks . I check my status online and it says that "application processing"

Re: Jan 2010 applications
I just sent them an email, asking if everything is okay with my application, since I mailed mine just a couple of days after you. *keeping fingers crossed!*Rye956 wrote:I emailed DPS today to check the status of my application and also to check if I am not missing anything.

Re: Jan 2010 applications
sinton - good to know above, that is some SERIOUS travel - struggling with my "delay" - it is making me shake my head - i've been "delayed" on about half of the firearm purchases i've made over the last few years - sometimes i get in-store / FFL approval on the spot - sometimes the dreaded couple day "delay" - but never denied - used to fly/own a private small aircraft and had gotten my instrument rating years and years ago - thought maybe a civilian pilot's license might also be a red flag (i know it was on my life insurance policy !!!) - but nothing concrete yet - it'll be nice to have the CHL on future purchases though !!!Sinton wrote:I don't think that's the case or I would of NEVER gotten approved.

YES! Website still says, "Processing Application," but hopefully I should have my plastic in my hand soon!

Re: Jan 2010 applications
Coolo! Congrats to all! When you check the website and see "Application complete. License Issued or Active" you'll know that the license is in the mail to you, and will be only a matter of days when you get it.MojoTexas wrote:Update from DPS: The license is being printed.

Mine changed to "complete" on a Monday, and I received the license 2 days later.

Re: Jan 2010 applications
I sent an email this morning to see if there was a problem. Got a reply back that said my photos were too dark and red and a letter was sent on the 4th. Now off to make more passport photos and call the CHL trainer that took my picture to say thanks.

Today 2-17-2010 Application completed-license issued or certificate active. Thank you for not allowing me to wait too long.Ruger74 wrote:I took my CHL class on Jan. 3, 2010. I am still waiting. I check my online status and it says processing application. It has said that for the last 2-3 weeks. I know I have a clean record. What else could the hold up be before my status changes?
