April Application

[Imsowright]

Wow ... Happy to see someone else getting his CHL. But inexplicable why I and some others who sent in their paperwork in early April are still "under review."

I am with you. I just don't understand. I guess we just got slower people than others.

[Imsowright]

Today is Day #61 since USPS delivered all the materials to the DPS.

My official status is still "Background Check Under Review," which means my unofficial status is still as follows:

Gloom, despair, and agony on me!
Deep, dark depression, excessive misery!
If it weren't for bad luck, I'd have no luck at all!
Gloom, despair, and agony on me!

I feel your pain. Looks like you and I are on the same schedule. Day 61 for me as well.

I mailed in march. 3-11 got my plastic on 5-11 - 62 days box to box. Mine also sat in the out going mail box a DPS for 2 days Status changed to mailed on 5-7 postmark was 5-9 Hang in threre it will happen.

Imsowright, perhaps today will be the day our CHL's get processed.

Here's how my mind is playing games today: Although this is the 61st day, it could still be considered the "60th day" in that today is June 4 and the materials arrived at the DPS on April 4, if we consider "2 months" to be rounded off to "60 days". Accordingly, they might process our applications today, and the update will appear online sometime tomorrow morning.

Hey, a guy can dream!

Getting a CHL is one big opportunity...

They received mine April 10 and updated 5/15 to BG review.

April 10 - 54 days
May 15 - 20 days

I believe they are going by the "complete application received" date and not the "initial CMRRR" date. So, I either have 6 days or 40 days...

Mine is a little unusual as I have a couple of DA's that are over 5 years old and will get handled in their special DA section. I am not worried though, I will just sit back and wait.

Can anyone confirm the dates? Is it from receipt or BG review?

Either way, I am Ok with waiting - for now.

Go back to page 9 of this thread and read my post (5th one from the top). That may answer your question.

Thanks. I read that earlier. It would be nice to see a change in 6 days.

Back to my April waiting list seat.

Infidex, you have a lot of self control not checking the status for so long!

Not so much self control as it is not remembering that I can actually check my status, therefore now everyday I will be checking, lol...

cedarelm7, DPS got our stuff on the same day, and your first update was two days after me. Maybe, your next update will also be in the next two days.
Good Luck.

[armanius]

Cedarelm7, I share your pain!! Still waiting too ... still under review. Mailed mine on 04/03. DPS acknowledged receipt on 04/10.

[CedarElm7]
