The lady who taught my CHL class forgot to give us a form (the one that asked if you'd ever had mental problems) so they sent it back to me in mid October and I sent it back the next day. They quickly changed my online status back to "processing application". As of today it still says processing application. I've emailed them twice and both time they say that they are waiting on the FBI to finish it's background investigation. I'm career military and I have had numerous in depth back ground checks for my job. I've never had anything more than a speeding ticket in my entire life. Being military I have moved around some but the majority of my career has been at Lackland AFB in San Antonio. What is the deal? Should I call the FBI and ask what the problem is? Should I call my state rep and ask for help? Should I just have more patience? It is getting frustrating to see all the people who sent in their apps at the end of Oct get approved and I am still waiting. It is just frustrating that I've avoided trouble my entire life and now for some reason its taking forever to do my background check.

Thanks and this board rocks,
Chris

I know - but it's only been 60 days. The way I have it figured is that I followed all of their rules, so they should be made to follow their rules, too. Honestly, I'm not concerned with their personnel issues. I'm almost $200 into this thing, and I want something tangible as a result, and within their own self-imposed time frame.
