waiting

Post by DGSims »

Can anyone tell me how long it usually takes for status to update? I did my online app on 3/3/12 and took my class on the 4th. Fingerprints done on 3/6 and mailed off the same day. Status still says waiting on paperwork. USPS delivery confirmation days it was delivered on 3/8. Is this fairly normal? Thanks in advance!!

The DPS site updated my status about 7 or 8 days after I got my return receipt in the mail. I personally believe that when the site shows an update, that step is already in progress.

Mine still says the same thing, waiting on paperwork, it's been 13 days since I got confirmation it was received. So frustrating!

That's kind of what I figured...I just wanted to confirm. Thank you all for your response.

Your status will probably update in the next day or two.
