Mine is similar.. I am not worried though. Some people say it never got updated from background check until it was mailed.. You should only have a couple of weeks left, unless they find anything in the background check.

So how long did it take to mail it to them? did you get confirmation from the mailing service that the DPS received it?

My BG check took 10 days. I guess mine went quick cause I was already over the 60 day statute before I got a update. Took 63 days to get my first update from the time DPS signed for my packet. Im 74 days in now and Im in Manufacturing Pending.
2/26-Mailed paper app and packet.
5/20-Plastic in hand.
83 days mailbox to mailbox.
