Good to finally know where I'm at in the process.

Now if they would just get this parking lot thing passed so that my employer could not prevent me from bringing it on to their premisis (and leaving it in my truck)...all would be good.

Here's my vent:

Feb, 21st - FAST prints with L1 (I showed up a day early because of all the icy weather) I thought the roads would be impassable.
Feb 26 - CHL Class
Feb 28 - Mailed packet
Mar 2 - packet received

Current status as of 9 Apr 2011:
Application : Received
Fingerprints : Under review ?????
Affidavits : Received
DL or ID : Valid
Citizenship : No documentation required
Passport photo holder : Received

Background Check : Under review
Concealed Handgun License : Print pending completion of application review

I called and emailed and asked them about the fingerprints and they said they have two sets on file? I'm almost certain this is because I went to L1 the day before I was scheduled. L1 had to erase me from their system, refund the online payment I made and I had to go get a money order to pay for it in order to get them done. I wish I had just slid down there the next morning on the icy roads.

I called L1 and they assured me that there was no way for them to send two sets, but the CHL poeple said their system shows both an electronic copy and a paper copy as well. Paper, really, from where?? CHL told me to let the system clear them out in the next two weeks.

I just know it's going to get dragged out to day 60 and their gonna tell me to resubmit prints. I begged them to just let me resubmit now, but they gave me the "it's okay, you're still well within your 60 days speech.".

Meanwhile 4 other people I took the class with have already go their plastic. They have shown little to no sympathy for me!

I mean, I have lived in the same county since 2003 and I haven't had so much as a traffic ticket in 10 years. Hopefully it'll update by Monday so I don't pull the rest of my hair out :)

I might get a buzz cut so I don't pull the rest of my hair out .

Yeah, mine is processing a bit slower too. I'm not sure if Rayman and Bigmoney work and live in the same counties, but I don't. I assumed it would take longer for my background check since there are two counties involved (& I have a fairly common name).

Also, it looks like they're both in the Houston area. Maybe Harris and Montgomery counties are faster than ours.

She also said that they were waiting on my fingerprints from L1 even though I sent in ink fingerprints. I told her that, and she recommended going ahead to L1 to have them done again.

Also, no update on the website as of today :(
