Finally got an update!

[TxCatfish]

I submitted all my paperwork in early part of February and just received this today.



So do I need to do anything from here?

Did you apply online or via paper?
I sent my wife's paperwork (electronic application) off around February 8th. I don't remember how long it took for her status to change from background check under review, but it sat at complete/sent to manufacturing for about a week and a half. Her plastic came in the mail Tuesday.

I sent all via paper/mail.

From that point it was only a week or so until I was "mailed"... but it took over 2 weeks for said mail to travel 40 miles up I-35, to my mailbox.

Okay that gives me something to go off of. Wow 40 miles 2 weeks! Please don't let that happen to me, getting very anxious here...

If your status just changed to background check under review, you could easily have 2 or 3 weeks left, depending on how much background you have to check. My wife and I have lived at the same address for over 5 years, and she has worked in the same place for over 5 years. I think her background check took a couple of weeks... at least that is how long her status showed that.

Howdy All,

I'm new to the Forum.. I actually stumbled across this forum when I was looking for some suggestions/answers. So after reading some I decided to join up.

I sent my paperwork along with my Fiancee's paperwork towards the end of Febuary (around 21st) and it took about 25 days before I saw any sort of movement on mine as well. I would check maybe once or twice a week to see if there was any movement. I then saw last week that my background status changed from Under Review to "Manufacturing pending" (Well something like). Anyways, about 3 days later it said Mailed. So I actually got my plastic as of Today (so about 56 days total). I honestly didn't know if I would have gotten it or not. But I'm honestly glad to be apart of the growing numbers of CHL holders out there.. Now the interesting part is my Fiancee's is still sitting under review. I would have thought hers would have flown through without a hitch and gotten it before I did. Not worried but one bit but it surprised me that I got mine before her. We will continue to check on it once or twice a week and see if anything has changed.

I'm looking forward to getting to know y'all and learning what I can..

When I got my CHL it was 45 days from mailbox to mailbox. The online status never updated until either a day or two before or two after I got it in the mail. None of the steps that the process were checked off. Maybe they changed it since I got mine.

On getting the error message - Give it about a day or 2 before you try to log back in. When my Fiancee tried to do her app online in the beginning she was getting errors as well. They kept telling her to wait 24 hours before trying again. At one point we gave it 72 hours and same result. I think ultimately we gave it about a week and she was able to log in to create her application. Look at it this way.. If you give it the time and then try it. You'll be pleasantly surprised when you see "Mailed". OH as for contacting their tech support to get it fixed.. Forget it! She tried that and that failed..

Good Luck!

Did you do the mail in application or the online application? I did the mail in app so DPS has to enter my information into the system before I can login to check my status. That is why Im getting the *error no your information is not found* message.
