Late December applicants still waiting?
Anyone else besides me still here from late December?
Today makes 80 calendar days (57 business days) since my confirmation email.
My timeline:
Class 12/20
Application and documents 12/20
Confirmation email 12/21
Fingerprints 12/23
No status update online. No plastic in the mail. I've been thinking "How can it possibly be later than this week?" for the last month or so. I guess it could still be any day now, but the hopefulness/hopelessness/lack of any info from DPS/RSD is so frustrating.
Anyone else still stuck in here from late December? Bueller?

Re: Late December applicants still waiting?
I was all in 12/28. I called 3/4 and was told they haven't even looked at it. Trying now to let it rest. For a couple of weeks I'd get PO'd when I see people all in after me getting plastic in the mail. Now, just resigned to the fact there is no rhyme or reason to RSD's process.sweatmachine wrote:Anyone else besides me still here from late December?

Re: Late December applicants still waiting?
Class, app, fingerprints all done before my confirmation email.
Confirmation dec 30.
I'm trying to let roll off into the back of my mind. I now only check the website once a day instead of every hour. I know they have all my documents but I just don't have much confidence in their system as far as managing applications in order.
Hopefully they get December wrapped up soon.
Also my brother, a day before me, has yet to hear anything.

Re: Late December applicants still waiting?
App - 12/9 (confirmation same day)
Prints - 12/15
Class - 12/27
Supporting Docs Uploaded - 12/29
Confirmation - 12/29
Emailed - 3/2 - no response as of 3/10
Called - 3/10
Couldn't get through but after 15 tries was lucky enough to finally get to wait on hold for 30 minutes. Lady said they had everything. Couldn't tell me when to expect anything. Said "she would like to tell me 2 weeks" but couldn't tell me anything. So there's that. But she did say "everything looks good" so there is the silver lining!
Been watching yall post. Thought I should share as well. I have 3 other friends on the same timeline and we are all in the same boat.
Continue waiting...
Hook em!

Website change: Not yet
Plastic in hand: Not yet

Re: Late December applicants still waiting?
Forgot to add in my original post that I called yesterday and was given the "we have your stuff just wait longer" response. No news.
I'll sit tight until Tuesday, which will be 60 business days from my email confirmation. If I don't have news/update/plastic by Tuesday I'll call in again.

Re: Late December applicants still waiting?
Sill waiting myself. All docs submitted and acknowledged on 12/26, prints on 12/29. Verified that everything needed was in their hands via phone call a couple of weeks ago.
Re: Late December applicants still waiting?
Did we all submit things online? I did and it appears that the 12/20-12/31 timeframe of people who submitted online got Passover instead of Chrisrmas, especially with with all the people who submitted after getting plastic.

Re: Late December applicants still waiting?
Online for me.
Took over a week to figure out how to upload the CHL-100. Instructor said to do it online, but didn't give the site. Then a gun store clerk said it could only be mailed in. Finally found the RDS website, but didn't realize LTC was the new acronym.
Probably cost a week of waiting on that misstep.

Re: Late December applicants still waiting?
A buddy of mine took the CHL class with me and filed his paperwork a week or more after I did. He just texted me a picture of his license, which arrived today. I'm so frustrated with DPS/RSD.
