Why I hate this site
Because whenever I come here I feel the need to go check my status even though there is no possible way it can be close to ready yet. ;)
I just can't help it.
I wasn't even that excited about it before I came here.
Ah well....thanks for the support everyone.

Aw, c'mon Excaliber - that is just throwing gasoline on the fire.

I have to admit that I was guilty of checking my status way too often. I figured that I was squeaky clean enough that my turnaround would happen in 31 days....NOT! Those extra 20 days (to get me to the actual 51 day result) seemed to go on forever. I promise you that signing on twice a day to see my background check still pending didn't make it go faster. If I hadn't been on the site and seen other people (LOTS of other people) go to mailed or received status, I wouldn't have been as disappointed. In this matter, ignorance is truly bliss.

Re: Why I hate this site
If it's been more than 20 days since you mailed your application, then it lost. You're going to have to start all over.

Re: Why I hate this site
I know waiting isn't any fun at all, and some folks actually do check several times a day for changes. I was just trying to inject a little humor there. I apologize if my post came across as anything other than gentle kidding.chasfm11 wrote:Excaliber wrote:Just because it wasn't issued as of 3 minutes ago doesn't mean that the status couldn't have changed since then........dalto wrote:Because whenever I come here I feel the need to go check my status even though there is no possible way it can be close to ready yet. ;)

I was kidding, too. I knew that you were kidding when I replied and was simply needling you back. Please don't think anything else.Excaliber wrote: I know waiting isn't any fun at all, and some folks actually do check several times a day for changes.

There is no way that I put smiles in my really serious posts. If you see a smile from me, you can probably expect me to be laughing at the screen.

Re: Why I hate this site
It's funny I've been back in Texas for 14 years and never got around to getting my CHL but now that I sent off my app I bet I check that status site at least 4 to 5 times a day. I wish they almost didn't have it and it would just show up one day. :)
