Waiting is hard to do!

I sent in my application 3 weeks ago and the status on the DPS website still says "Package mailed to applicant".

Sort of reminds me of waiting for Christmas as a kid! :grin:

DPS seems to be very inconsistent about updating the website. Couple of threads back a gent got the plastic while website still showed app processing.

Wish they were a little more detailed also. Like UPS does when we track a package, where you see the complete history and steps.

Sounds like I've got some good company in the waiting room! We may have to start singing that old Christmas song 'All I want for Christmas is my CHL...'

It has been 4 weeks since DPS received my application and the status has now changed to "Processing Application".

I must be getting closer! :smile:

Wow, there are four of us with the same timeline. This will be a good experiment for the different counties, and DPS in general.
10/23/07 - Completed package mailed to DPS
10/26/07 - Package arrives at DPS
11/29/07 - Recieved PIN via usps
01/09/08 - Still waiting on "investigative report" for background check.
02/05/08 - Issued/Active - 101 days total
