Ok guys, I'm getting paranoid already and I'm not that far into the process. I went online on the dps website and filled out my online application and paid the fee before taking the class. I will be taking the class August 9th and am waiting for DPS to send me my packet. On the online website for address and employment history I listed my current employer and current address. The online form for DPS does not allow you to leave the "to" date field blank so I put 7/2008 for both the employer and address. I know I won't be sending the completed packet in until at least August 11th. Therefore, I'll have a gap in my employment and address history. What should I do?
Should I correct this on the printed packet that DPS sends me and notify them that the address and employer are still current and present regardless of what their stupid form made me submit?
Also was I supposed to get my pin after I paid the fee and submitted my online form? If so, I must have missed that information. The only information I received was the trace number for my payment.
Thanks in advance!

Re: Online Application Question
What about 'Present'?

There is no option for present or check box, it just says to: Month box / Year boxMike1951 wrote:What about 'Present'?
I would have gladly put present. I added and removed it several times with no luck.

Re: Online Application Question
When you receive your application you will notice there is an additional column for additions or corrections. I just wrote "Present" in the correction field. My application only took 129 days to process...
