I feel your pain, I submitted 90 days ago and was told the same thing "Looks like your application is in the final stages". I thought at the time it sounded like a programmed response and now I am certain thats what it was. So I wont bother calling them any more its a waste of time. My wife only waited 75 days I'm going on 90 and I'm a CPA and my son has top security clearance so go figure. We have been vented by the ATF and for various govt programs, and to think I paid for this slow service. LOL

Are you still waiting for yours? I would suggest looking up who your Congressman is and give them a call. About a week after I did that, my status went to "Background Check Complete, Manufacture Pending". It's worth a shot at the very least.

Plastic in hand!!!

Updated to mailed this morning! Should hopefully have it next week!

Same to you!

I guess the call and email to Sen Uresti's office helped a bit. I don't think it's a coincidence that 2 days after I do that, my status changes.

Got the same thing today. Manufacturing pending!!!!!

Yeah I'm retired Army. I've had security clearance checks that didn't take this long.

Almost another month down, still no update. When I called I was told "The process can sometimes take up to 60 days to complete. It looks like we are in the end stages of your background check."

Hey everyone. This my first post here but I've been reading here for a while. I'm getting a little frustrated at the wait time, as I'm seeing a lot of people that mailed theirs off around the same time I did, that already have theirs back.

Mailed 5/3
Received 5/9
Posted online status 6/3
Background still under review 7/5

Just called and asked what was going on, I was told the were in the final stages of the background check and hopefully next week it will update. He said it takes up to 60 days for an initial which I understand, but 60 days is up on Tuesday. I know there are thousands of applications they have to review, but you would think they could streamline this a bit better. Oh well, at least I didn't have to pay for it.
