Anyone seen their status change yet? I said I was going to be patient but it's proving to be difficult. :)

I called last Friday and they said my prints cleared with no issues (didn't expect any issues).

The guy did say that they've been pretty well flooded with applicants lately ( :cheers2: ) and that it takes some time for them to go through the mail and get everyone's paperwork into the system.

Status Change as Of Oct. 13th.
By the looks of some signitures out there it seems it takes a couple weeks for the figerprints to come back, then another week or two for the background check. I hope they can keep up that pace (or speed it up)

Online Application done and packet mailed: Sept. 29th
Packet recieved: Oct. 13th
Fingerprints complete: Oct. 17th

You would think with the technology available to DPS they would be able to complete a background check with a couple of key strokes on the computer, but with all the bureaucracy involved between agencies it probably all has to be done by snail mail.


on line application 09/16/10
chl class 09/18/10
packet mailed 09/21/10
under review 10/02/10
fingerprints complete 10/10/10
background check ??????
