I checked mine last night around midnight and it still asked for my SS#
I just checked it and it no longer asks for the SS# but the page that it loads to looks the same as it always has for me.

Started online application last Wednesday, fingerprints last Friday, class yesterday. Now, I just need to scan in my CHL-100 when I return to work on Tuesday. I have a question about that; do I need to include the checklist e-mail the DPS sent to me? What about the receipt I received after I got my fingerprints done?
5/21/14 - Submitted online app.
5/24/14 - Class
5/27/14 - Submitted CHL-100 & checklist
7/18/14 - Plastic in hand

I just sent the CHL-100 and the bar code/checklist.

Also, fyi, there are android apps and probably ios apps for scanning documents to PDF's. I use Camscanner for Android.

So, when does the clock start?

5/2/14 Subitted initial online App
5/3/14 CHL class
5/5/14 Fingerprints
5/8/14 Subitted CHL-100 and bar code letter
5/8/14 received Dannette Caballero email stating all documents received

I have mentally started my clock on 5/8 as that is when my app was actually "completed" in terms of required documents. But I guess it entered the queue on 5/2.

I'm no expert as I am just as new to this as you are. I would imagine the clock starts "mentally" when all of the information was received. The thing is, from what I read on here, the clock starts once it has all been looked over (and ok'd) and you have the "manufacture pending" status...soon from then you should have your plastic on the way. Just my .02¢. I'm also reading a lot about the 2 month rule. I hear it's pointless to even check your status before 2 months.

There are people in the April thread that have gotten plastic right at the 30 day mark.

Not to say status change will or will not show up. But past months hold little bearing. Feb and March guys are mostly 60 days+... April guys seem to be 30-60. No one from May has received anything or gotten a status update to my knowledge.
