I had the opportunity to call Utah DPS today. I received my permit from Utah the first part of July. My wife's was mailed at the same time and still no word. When we arrived home from vacation last week, there was a large envelope for her from Utah DPS. It had a fingerprint card and a letter saying they never received her prints.

When I called them today, there was a lengthy intro recording, but option 3 was for concealed handgun permits. The phone was answered promptly. I explained the situation and she put me on hold a couple of times to check info and actually found my wife's prints in a lost file. She also seemed very surprised that I already had my permit based on the received date on my wife's application. When she checked on mine, it had a received date almost 2 months earlier. I said I had assumed mine was quicker because I sent a copy of my Texas CHL. She said this is not a factor at all in the processing time.

So, hopefully my wife's permit will be in the mail in 2 wks or so (by what they told me today). Not sure why hers got slow-tracked compared to mine, but from what they told me sending another state's CHL doesn't speed it up any. YMMV.
