February 2011 Applications

[nyj]

Seems like 10-12 days is the average time 'til received from online status.

I just hope I get my plastic before my road trip in the middle of March.

Took the class in October 2008 (I was a little early on my 5 years for a class B)
Mailed the packet to Austin yesterday (2/12/2011)

My husband and I moved here from IA two years ago. Does anyone know if this will effect the time it takes to do the background check? I keep checking our status and the "background check" hasn't changed in a LONG TIME!

Just wondering if it because of coordination with another state.

Might take a little bit longer due to being out of state but I would not expect a huge delay.

Don't get too excited, but most are noticing about 10 days from "mailed" to actually receiving of their CHL. Mailed could be a generic term for sitting in a room waiting to get batch mailed.

Congrats though!

I'm assuming you did FAST fingerprints? The race was on but i think you are going to get yours before me now

[nyj]

Yeah, did them through FAST. I was wondering why yours was under review.

Ya the course I took included electronic prints but they were not the fast prints.
