Ugh. "Mailed" status online on Thursday, but nothing as of Friday even though I live in Austin.

I still haven't seen any updates to my status online. It still says that they are waiting on my paper work. I mailed it in on the 16th...I think...what ever my sig says...and I have yet to see if my paper work is complete. I checked it at least three times against the list, so I'm pretty sure it's right. I finally got through last week to the office and the gentleman said that it takes a month for the status online to update...I'm on pins and needles. Is this normal? I dont even know if they got it. I sent it certified, but promptly lost the receipt. Sorry for the run-on sentence.

Same thing here. I think the best thing right now would just be to wait. They are probably processing it, and just not updating it. I feel your pain though, I check every day for my status update and I sent it out around the same time you did, and I still don't have any update as well.

Personally I would call at this point. You only have to wait for like 15-25 minutes and its just worth checking to see what is going on. That is unusually long for an online update.

I sent them an email, and quickly recieved a generic response that stated "keep waiting".

He is not as spry at he once was in his youth, his voyage may take long and be filled her hardship and adventure. So be patient for his arrival. And be sure to greet him with wine and women!!
