I've been. Waiting since January 27. I emailed the state this week and got this response today:





I wanted to follow up with you regarding the LTC Application status. I submitted your information with DPS and they were going to forward it over to RSD for processing. If they haven't done so already, someone from DPS should be reaching out to you regarding your license status within the next few business days. They did inform me, however, that hundreds of similar inquiries have been coming from other legislative offices around the state, so the process is being slowed down significantly. To date, DPS has seen a 139% increase in LTC application filings versus 2015 - in addition to these legislative office inquiries.



Please don't hesitate to reach out to me if I can be of further assistance.

A 139% increase in LTC applications means a 139% revenue increase for them. They have the funds to hire plenty of people to keep up with the demand. But instead, they punish "US" with a 12 week wait time.
Not fair at all.

A few people have mentioned in the past that DPS supposedly hired some more help. I'm not seeing a difference in the turn around times. The average turn around time in December was 80+ days, it's still 80+ days as of today. Nothing has changed.

Based on a 6 week wait, looks we are about "halfway"
I'm expecting them to come between April 11 and 29. What's your thoughts on that?

The current wait is around 12 weeks according to the call I received from RSD yesterday.

I think the majority of people (not all) are getting theirs before 12 weeks. We'll see an 80+ day every now and then, but for the most part 6 - 8 weeks "after email confirmation" is about the norm for a shiny record. I have 2 friends that did theirs in the middle of January, and they have received their plastic already. I also work with a guy that did his at the end of January, and his status just changed recently. Some of these stories were hearing of it taking 80+ days, could possibly be because of all the recent holidays, some could of started counting when they registered on the DPS site, and not when the DPS confirmed their email.
And also, I think their telling people over and beyond the actual date. Their doing that so we don't call the day when the 6 weeks period is up complaining we didn't receive it like we were promised. I mean, that's what I would do if I was them...right?
