E-mail instead of Regular Mail

[txdalman]

Hey guys, I'm new here, but I haven't noticed anyone submitting their documents in via email. So, I figured I'd let you guys know if the turn around time is any faster/slower or the same.

I submitted yesterday 2/26 and have seen no change! Crossing my fingers it goes quicker!

No difference, sorry. Do yourself a favor and don't check again for two-plus weeks.

I've been waiting for an update since July 2011! It's crazy! Just kidding, of course...welcome and hope your wait is a short one!

My wife and my brother took their renewal class at the same time. Wife emailed, brother used snail mail. Wife's timeline was 3 weeks shorter.

Glad to hear that! I wonder if they get renewals out faster than new apps. Let's hope it's all the same! I'm gonna take the advice of another guy here, and try to ignore it for a few weeks. I'm already driving myself crazy!

Great advice. I'm already driving myself crazy. I'm just going to try to "forget" about it for a while!

Yep, you have a little ways to go. Welcome to the "club" You can have a look at this thread for a laugh: viewtopic.php?f=83&t=63552" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

As I tell many "newbe's", dont check the website for at least 45-50 days. You will drive yourself crazy, get angry that its taking so long, and then get worried something is wrong. The time will go a lot faster if you do not check it. Just forget about it and then you will be suprized when you get it.

Use this time to study the laws for better understanding, carry around your home to find what setup works best for you, and to practice.

Most of all, pray you never have to use it.

How is yours looking? Mine updated this morning!

[txdalman]

Yup mine just updated this morning. 4/12. I was getting pretty worried! So, I guess submitting online doesn't have any advantages. At least its over with and the background check can get going!

[txdalman]

After 79 days...my status finally changed to mailed! So, I think its safe to say emailing has no advantage over regular mail! Good luck guys!

I guess "your results may vary" applies here. Online app completion to plastic in hand, 38 days.

My father-in-law snail mailed his in and 3/11/13 and got his this week
I emailed mine in on 3/11/13 and my packet hasn't even been logged in yet.

I'm thinking I should have steered away from the online submital and just mailed it in.
