Wife & I sent packets on same day (01/02/2006). We didn't know about this site at that time so had only instructions from instructor to go by. He gave us two photos and I'm sure he told us to send both. For reasons I'm not sure of now, we only attached one photo to our apps. After stumbling on this forum we realized our mistake and I emailed DPS asking if I should send second photo. Got what is probably a standard responce saying the processing time is sixty days and to wait.
They never asked for second photo. I then thought we were in for a long wait. I was only half right. Wife got hers back in only 54 days and I had the long wait, 98 days. Go figure!
The only helpful suggestion I can add to this subject is for the Instructors to give this forum info. to students. They can learn a lot from the experts here while waiting and get a better understanding of the process.
