WOO HOO Finally managed to get the ellusive Application Complete I thought this status was just a myth.
However, I'm going to save most of the smileys until I get the plastic in hand, in case this is all just a dream (if I don't get it, it turns into a nightmare).

SURVEY: WHO CURRENTLY HOLDS THE RECORD FOR THE LONGEST WAIT? (Let's assume you are absolutely positive you have a clean, I mean spotless, record, and that DPS used all your original documents without any follow-up)

I think I saw 180 days ....

I'm on day 109 (as of 12 MAY 08), with 3 speeding tickets like 6 years ago (all taken care of btw), only lived at 3 address all my life. so I'm on my way towards setting the long wait. Chas said he knew one person he used to work with got hers at 151 dyas, so I'm gonna call that the goal not to hit.

My update.

took class on feb 4th(missed the Superbowl who cares caught the last three minutes the best three)

sent packet on the 5th

DPS recieved on the 8th

no pin by mail

emailed sometime in late March got a pin

As of yesterday April 24th statuse changed to Application Completed - license issued or certificate active.
as I see it not to bad. Still under the 60 work day so I can't complain.

COME ON. I sent mine in 2 weeks before you and I'm still proccessing. Waiting for my CHL and trying to study for finals is probably gonna kill me.
/end rant
I'm sorry, I feel better now. Well, I hope that mine come soon. At least its Fiesta here in SA, so i won't be bored waiting.

Mailed packet: Feb. 6
Packet received: Feb 8
Pin received: March 3 (dated Feb 29)

And still waiting on the application to be completed......

Wow, I sent my packet in two weeks before you did, and I also got my PIN 3 weeks after you, and I'm also noticing that some people here have had the same thing happen to them also. I think something has gone slightly askew in the timeline process some where along the line. I do just hope that this is a simple thing of the new ones getting placed on top of the old ones, and they're just slowly whittling down the pile, and that I'm not being thrown into some alternate dimension where I will never get my CHL.

Anyways, welcome to the wait. Hope your chair is comfy

hey, I just found this site, and maybe it'll help my wait

Took test on 19 Jan 08
Sent Packet to DPS 22 Feb 08
Packet recieved 25 Feb 08
Recieved PIN 25 Mar 08
As of 15 Apr 08 still "Processing Application"
Recieved License ?

Now if the 60 day wait as required for them rolls around (Im guessing it starts when i recieve my PIN) is there anything I can do to spur the DPS into action, or is it like trying to capture the wind in a jar, and I'm out of luck?

Glad to be a part of the forums now
