Hey all, new here to the forum and here's my timeline:

1/4/2013 - Completed/submitted online app
1/26/2013 - Completed fingerprints
1/27/2013 - Completed CHL Class
1/28/2013 - Mailed CHL packet certified mail
1/31/2013 - DPS signed for CHL packet
1/28 to 2/18/2013 - DPS status shows they are waiting for application packet
2/19/2013 - DPS status changed to Application received and Background Check: Under Review

The status hasn't changed since the 19th. Also, I've never done this before so I'm not sure if this is normal but everything on the status page is green with a check mark except the "Application: Received", "Background Check: Under Review" and "Concealed Handgun License: Print pending completion of application review". These sections are yellow with an exclamation point in a yellow triangle.

Is it normal for the "Application: Received" line to be yellow with the triangle??? Is it this way since the application isn't yet complete?

Everything is normal/consistent with my experience

Mine moved to manufacturing today also. Looks like it should be mailed in the next few days. I've read it is taking up to 5 business days once status changes to mailed until received. So, it looks like we will be getting plastic next week. :cool: Problem is, I have to go out of town next week on business. :rolll

Oh well, been waiting this long, what's another week.
