UPDATE: I don't understand how DPS works, but I checked my status Sat. nite the 25th and B/G under review, so of course I had to check it Sunday morning same thing. I check it about 5:00 pm Sunday and guess what, YAHOO manufacturing pending, B/G complete, so maybe plastic in about 10 days. I've been practicing around the house. Needless to say I can't wait!!!!!!!!!
Sent my package in today and I promise to not even look at the DPS website till next Thurs.
I couldn't stand it after I checked Friday and the USPS website said my package was delivered that morning, so Saturday I checked a couple of times to see if any changes (none) Kept checking a couple of time per day and nothing, Finally on Saturday the 11th (16 days after receipt) DPS website show all green and BG under review except for Fingerprints which I did twice. I am waiting for notification to see what I have to do now to fix the fingerprints
UPDATE: After three e-mails to DPS about my second set of prints, magically this morning it showed prints good, now waiting on B/G check.

It's hard not to "peek"!

Welcome to the forum! In the meantime, it's a great use of the wait time to look at all the good material at this site, which will help you going forward. I also have heard it makes the time pass more quickly, but don't quote me on that.

Tell us the truth...how many times did you check?

[nguyen925]

Haha best wishes with your wait. I checked at least 5 times the weekend I mailed out my forms.

Mine just went "mailed" status today as well!
Of course, to offset that good feeling is the fact I got laid off - or, as we call it in the telecom installation biz, "surplused"...
