I know, ever since it went to mailed my patience has depleted. Today is 82 days since I mailed everything off. Going to the gun range for the first time this year with friends so it will be a good day. I need some practice with my CC and fine tune my Eotech on my AR-15.

Mailman came, no plastic today...Rage

My timeline is the same as yours, what city do you live in?

Edit: you are north of DFW. I have not seen the mailman today so maybe there is still hope.

Mailed status change this morning, maybe this week will have plastic.

Have they sent you a letter about a problem with your app? You can always call and see what is going on.

I had a charge when I was 13yrs old, I sent in supplemental info about the arrest with my paperwork. My adult record is clean.

If you can log on to see the status now, it should show what has cleared in green and what hasn't in yellow. As you move along, it shows the next "step" you are in. In other words, you should see something to the effect of "background pending". Sorry, but its been a while since I've been on there, so I'm going off my bad memory. lol

I was not aware of the online app. My CHL instructor told everyone to mail in the paper app with everything else and wait. Here is my status when I log in...

So I'm assuming you are in background check now also? Hopefully you will see progress faster now.

I guess, I thought they didn't start the BG check until they approve your fingerprints.

My timeline so far

2/23-CHL class
2/26-Mail in PAPER app and all other documents.
2/28-DPS receives packet and paper application
5/2-first update and in the system, fingerprints scheduled.
5/6-Fingerprinted
5/8-Fingerprints under review.

Got my fingerprints done yesterday so hopefully my BG check does not take long. Hope to have plastic by the end of the month.

Finally in the system after 9 weeks (63 days) Made my appointment for 5/6 to be fingerprinted. Its nice to finally be in the system and not get the *error* message when I log in.
