What address is on your CHL?
My home address is on my chl. It's really weird.
Do you work at home? "rlol"

Oh man! That's strange & can't imagine that was supposed to happen, unless you listed that address as your mailing address.

thats what I was thinking, verify the address on the CHL, and if it shows your work address, you need to do a change of address and pay the $25 or so. Don't put it off.

I mailed my materials on Febuary 16th, and USPS reported that they received by DPS on 02-19-2011. My application has been waiting background check for over a month and the total number of days is at 69 as of today. I emailed at 61 days and received a form email that stated that my application is being processed and that I am responsible for for any requested forms or materials. I have not received any requests for additional materials from the DPS. I have read in other forums that DPS is notorious for not sending or losing additional info requests. I called and left a detailed message for, "Marion". The customer service representative informed me that Marion was handling my application. After not hearing back from Marion for a couple of days, I called again. The customer service rep told me that Marion was, "clearing out", my application and that I should receive my plastic in two weeks. I'll believe it when I receive it. If your CHL has not arrived in 60 days, I am informed that you are wise to follow up immediately to see what the problem is.
