I live in DFW, so I'm hoping that I'll get mine tomorrow since you got yours today! Congrats on the plastic!

Yeah, I didn't update, since it was exactly the same as yours. Like they were stuck together. It does mail out of Austin, 78752.

CHL just came in!

4/08/13 - Mailed Documents
...
5/23/13 - Postmark
5/24/13 - Delivered

Total MtM: 46 days

My CHL instructor told us that they could use the DL photo, all you had to do was write that on the form near the picture "Use Drivers License Photo". He was saying that they are also trying to put in place the same thing for the signature, so that they could do away with the form altogether.

Congrats on the plastic!

No mail today, not even junk. Since I live in Round Rock, I think it would get here pretty quickly, if it is mailed out of Austin.

Also in "Manufacturing", today.

dward,

Same thing as you:

3/30/13 - Class
4/04/13 - Application (Online)
4/08/13 - Mailed Documents
4/10/13 - Fingerprints
5/14/13 - First update: Everything received, awaiting background check
5/20/13 - Second update: Background Check : Completed
- Concealed Handgun License : Manufacturing Pending

I wonder in military background checks take longer? Perhaps another VA issue (probably very low on their priority list).

dward, my timing was nearly identical to yours:

Class: 3/30/13
Application (Online): 4/4/13
Mailed: 4/8/13
Fingerprints: 4/10/13
First update: 5/14/13 (Everything received, awaiting background check)

Perhaps they are catching up? I called them a while back, and they were 7 weeks behind.
