I also called Friday, 7 March for my 30-day status update, and the lady I spoke with said "they were still going through January's applications," so take that for what it's worth.

This came up overnight:

So this system does update overnight because I checked around 730pm or so yesterday. 40 days from DPS receipt of materials to background review....should be soon now.

I've been under review for my background check since last Friday, and was wondering what the hold up for me is since most other February applicants seem to have gotten theirs completed in a day or two. I have a clean record (save for a ticket for doing a California Stop at a stop sign), been in the same house for the last five years, and recently passed an instant background check when purchasing a handgun within the last two weeks....should I be concerned?

I don't think you should be. I've had some traffic tickets within last few years.

I've moved around a lot the last few years, only a few months at current location.

Didn't have any problems

Today it changed to mailed.

So 29 days for any change to status on website, went from man pending to mailed in 1 day. 30 days total.

I'd like to say that it appears they're speeding things up a bit but my wife submitted info on the same day and there has been no status change to hers.

no rhyme or reason to their process.

And for those staying up late checking their status, each time mine changed it was around 6 in the morning when the website updated, so get some sleep :)

I don't think they are speeding things up im at day 42 and no change on site
