"Waiting Room"

[Cureforcancer]

Hello ladies and gents

I have been lurking this forum for a few weeks now and feel your pain. All in on 4/25 and confirmed 4/26 via email and so the wait began. As a recent refugee into this wonderful state of Texas coming from a Stalin type dictatorship ran Northeast state (NY) a 60 day wait on average is not bad at ALL for a chl/ltc. God bless Texas...loving every minute of it. I should had moved down here sooner.

Seems some are having better luck since the added staff and over time. Welcome to Texas!

Not too bad:

My all in date was 1/11/16

I waited until April 12th to get a call saying, I was approved and off to printing.
May 11th, I called in to say I had not received my CHL yet and was told I was accidentally sent back to review
I finally got my plastic in hand yesterday which was almost 120 days to the day.

Zencurry over and out!

Good luck and be safe everyone!

Congrats zen!! I got mine too!! 131 days here! Woo hoo!!

After submitting my CHL-100 online on a Sunday evening, I didn't receive a confirmation until Thursday. I would give it at least a week or 2. If you do not hear anything back, call and place an inquiry to ensure they received all the information.

And so the wait begins. I'm not sure if what my instructor said about getting started with submitting before the class (yesterday) helping reduce the airgap between class and receiving, but let's hope that 2 weeks counts for something.

My prints have finally been recieved and sent to the FBI. Anyone have an idea what kind of timeline I'm still looking at? The only response I can get from RDS is " 4 to 6 weeks until they look at it."

There is no telling how long or how short the wait will be. I was all in on 2/16/16 and tomorrow that makes 91 calendar days, I uploaded support documents on 2/25/16 to be on the safe side and I think they are going from that date which would make it 81 calendar days. Either way it is a long time. The last time I spoke to them they told me it was in progress, in my mind it was in progress the day I submitted it.

I have seen people get in 26 days and some in 131 days. Its a roll of the dice. Hopefully you are one of the lucky ones! Good luck!

Doubt it, I did the fingerprints and application in January, the CHL course in February and submitted everything February 16th. Still waiting
