Frustrating to see people on here go into background review the same time I did or later and they are being manufactured or mailed aleady!!! Clean record, same address for last 16 years, and nothing!!!

I'm right with you. Almost three weeks and counting on my background check. Sent in all materials on March 9th. CHL class completed on Feb. 17th. Updated to material received on April 27. They can't keep us in the waiting room forever. It is very frustrating to see others getting their plastic in hand, and you have sent your documents in ahead of them. I wonder if anyone down there in Austin is keeping up with our online forum? Do they know that we keep track of their insufficiencies? Just wondering.

I definately feel for you guys I was in Background review for a full month. Even when i called last week the gentleman I spoke with told me to expect to be under review for another 3 weeks! i guess they have no idea whats going on with BR they just wait to get them back from the FBI..anyways keep your head up guys

Here's a condensed timeline.

3-2-2013 mailed
4-15-2013 BR started
5-15-2013 BR finally completed
5-15-2013 Manufacture Pending(updated this morning)

Mine, for example, includes four addresses in two states which I know will make my background take longer than someone who has lived in one place for the last 10 years.

It will happen - I have to keep telling myself that too!

Yea I guess my Florida drivers license doesn't help expedite anything.

Is there anybody who mailed all of their documents on march 2nd and still in Background Review. I feel like I'm the last one left of that group?
