You may need to call them. Hold times vary, but they should be able to tell you something after all of this time.

Well, I called them this morning. They said "That is strange, you should see an update in the system, and should have seen it weeks ago. Oh well."

And then proceeded to tell me the status of my application.

They told me its in "Background Review" and could take up to 6 MONTHS before I hear anything new!?!?!?!

Still waiting on ANY status. Its been almost 2 months, and the site still looks like this. GRRRRR!!!

Well, no news is no news....
My status:

12-01-16 - LTC class completed
12-07-16 - Electronic Application filed
12-09-16 - Fingerprints completed at Identogo
12-09-16 - All supporting docs uploaded
12-14-16 Received email acknowledging receipt of supporting docs

Still no status displayed on the website as of today. Finally broke down and called them....
Here is what I was told:
After checking my ID, the representitive (who was very nice, possibly because I was not rude to him at all) actually read off the dates they got my application, the fingerprints, and my supporting docs. Then told me that I needed to give it another week to get a status on the website, and that it "Should be quick after that, and I SHOULD get my license SOON, if there are no problems"

SO here's to hoping!!!

I like voip, but with my crippled network at home (I live out in the country, so the only options are SLOW), voip is not really practical. So I usually stick with text based.

I grew up in the sticks of East Texas. Back then the best I could hope for was dial-up and that's if the county could keep from cutting our phone line every time they maintained the dirt road!!

So I get where you're coming from. I couldn't handle speeds that slow anymore. With all the things I do for work and also personal life I would be handicapped big time.

When I say "slow", I mean 5mbps/2.5mbps. I have much faster net at work, and dont bring my work home with me. When I was a kid, I didn't even have dialup, (early 80's).

Its probably been tried, and failed in the past, but I have set up a registered channel on freenode IRC chat for anyone here who wants to live chat. The channel is:
##LTC-Waiting-Room

I'm on IRC most days, for atleast a few hours.

For those who have never used IRC, here is a link to the web based client for freenode. Just make a username, and put the channel in, and you are good to go!

No problem. Trying to save someone else from the "*gasp* my status went away and I don't know why" moment. I had that moment when I first submitted everything and I wondered what happened until I read through these forums for a while and realized this was normal.

Welcome to the forums. From the short time I've been a member, I can tell there are tons of very knowledgeable people here that are always willing to lend a hand.

Thank you again. My status just vanished. No panic here because of your warning!

May I ask how you are checking your status? I only ask because since about midnight last night and even now I've tried to check the website and I keep getting told it's own for maintenance, but I can use my cell phone and it loads just fine. I'm curious if it's just me with the issue. Thanks.

I'm using Google Chrome on a windows 10 machine, and have not gotten a down for maintenance screen at all.

Thanks for the heads up!

New to this forum. Let my waiting begin!
