Took class on 12-28-2014
Submitted paper work on: 1-2-2015
Confirmation email received: 1-2-2015
Just noticed today(haven't checked it often since the wait is killing me ha ha)
Allows me to edit my address: 1-20-2015

As soon as I saw I could change my address and what not, I went googling, and found this site. Form the research I've done, it appears the process is completed and I should be seeing the plastic soon wen these items appear(knock on wood)?

You need to call them, they don't answer emails quick, I already tried that, they can tell you where you application is on the phone, I just called yesterday and they said a tech was working on mine that they found some stuff on my background check and they were making sure I still meet the requirements for the CHL, here is the number 512-424-7293 if the automated says to try your call later wait about an hour and call back

Yep called them today. I was advised my documents were never received and they never started on the application process... The nice woman I spoke to was very confused that I have a confirmation email from them stating they received supporting documents.

Sounds like we talked to the same person. I resubmitted my documents yesterday after they told me they never received the proof of training, AND I did not get a confirmation email this time.

it does sound a lot like the same answer and maybe our chl-100 document is at the bottom of the same stack of papers of a person that just took a 3 week vacation lol.
I thank there "30 days" is just a standard answer to every thing.
I did get a confirmation email about 2 hrs later to the chl-100 I sent today

Has this happened to anyone else? Everyone that took the class when I did has received their license. The people that applied the next week have their license. One guy that applied 2 weeks after I did has confirmation that his is in the mail. Mine is still in process.
