[St1cky]

They may be still processing feb apps but they're definitely doing march apps. So for all you non believers, my completed app was snail mailed on Mar 8th and today it's been received and pending background check. Yay!!

Im so happy I may just do the Wally walk after all even though I still hate that store. :) I thought for sure I'd be waiting another 3-4weeks for background check and 1-2weeks for manufacturing.

Good luck all! Hope many of you share a similar experience and end this waiting game.

Strange happenings.

I previously posted;
2-11-13 Application completed online
2-19-13 Fingerprinted
2-22-13 Fingerprints rejected.
3-01-13 Fingerprinted again
3-02-13 Class completed
3-04-13 Paperwork sent Certified mail
3-07-13 Paperwork delivered and return receipt signed

4-21-13 status changed to "Background check under review"
The status change indicated "Fingerprints: Complete".

On Friday, 4/26/13 I received a letter from DPS stating my fingerprints were rejected and gave the phone number to reschedule with L-1. It said I had 90 days to get printed again or my application would be invalidated. There was no indication that I had already submitted a second set of prints on 3/1/13. I checked my status and it I was still "Fingerprints: Complete". I was dreading having to call and try to find out what happened to the second prints. On Saturday I checked and I was still "Fingerprints: Complete" and "Background Check under review". This morning I checked to see if somehow the Fingerprints were no longer complete. No change with them but my status in now:

4-27-2013 Background Check: Completed
4-27-2013 Concealed Handgun License: Manufacturing Pending.

One week in "Background Check"? This indicates the WEB updates are running very much behind. I hope my status changes to mailed before I get any more letters.
