CHL - Waiting for News

#1

Post by Glockster »

It seems to work for others, so after not yet seeing any change figured that I'd go ahead and appease the gods by offering my own sacrificial thread in hopes that I too get a status change. :txflag:

6/3/15 Initial Application submitted & acknowledged
6/9/15 Fingerprints completed
6/11/15 CHL class completed
6/12/15 Submitted supporting documents
6/12/15 Acknowledgement of supporting documents received

Haven't tried a call yet but I see that someone in another thread did and with that, am going to see how long I sit on hold to check status assuming they don't quite until 5pm.

It works, it works! Less than 10 minutes on hold and found out that it was printed today! I asked about the web site as it doesn't show any status change and she said, "yeah, the web site is mysterious and we never know what it's going to do." Now I just have to wait for the mail (and fortunately can continue carrying with my out of state permit until then!).

Not really. I'm guessing that it is like most Govt. offices where it's more about it being a work day where what gets done during that time happens, and not we've got to get x-number done before we leave.

We received our confirmation email the same day. Did you see my thread processing pains?

We're pretty much on the same timeline. I plan to call next week for a status update:

6/18/15 - submitted CHL application online and received email confirmation
6/20/15 - fingerprints
6/21/15 - CHL class
6/22/15 - submitted CHL-100 form online and received email confirmation

Hopefully time flies!!

Sorry I wasn't really paying attention. Let me know what they say once you call. I kind of want to call but I also want to hold off
