Is it me, or have the days become longer since apllying for a CHL. I know I am not even at 2 weeks. But I find myself checking the DPS website 5 to 6 times a day. Even though I have read about so many people going through the same thing, I just wasn't prepared for there to be 100 hours in a single day!

TICK TOCK!

Yes, you can check if you mailed it,
however it takes about 3 weeks for it to show up online.
Sometimes a bit sooner, but wouldn't count on it
