Don't loose sight of the fact that passport applications don't carry anywhere near the background check the CHL does and the passport has no review of fingerprints. I also suspect that the rush for passports that existed a couple of years ago with all of the new requirements has wound down and their volume is leveling off to dropping off versus the CHL applications climbing thanks to Barry ☭bama.dthlss1 wrote:Is the federal government really moving faster than Texas state government?
Congrats, so my guess is Plastic in your hand on Tuesday, as it seems to be 5 days from Austin to anywhere right now LOLPufferman wrote:Plastic mailed as of 5/26/2010
Tell her to join in, maybe she can convince my wife to get hers also. I keep trying to get her to the range, but she is always "too busy".Teamless wrote:Im officially signing my WIFE in for her application.
While we took our class together, had all of our paperwork done at the same time (before i sent mine in), she just wasn't motivated to get hers turned in.
So finally, I sat her down, got online and made her do the application.
Today she went for her FAST Fingerprints.
No, she has not mailed in the rest of the required documents (CHL 100 or whatever it is and whatever else, but will do that shortly).
Her name (should she ever join this forum) would be something with Jaz in it, (Jazoo, Jazmine, or other's like that)
Mine won't go very often, as she is always "too busy" also.redlin67 wrote:but she is always "too busy".
My fingerprints have been completed for a while, but my background check is still under review. The background check seems to take a lot longer.dthlss1 wrote:Do the fingerprints and background check typically come back at the same time? I'm at the point where the update says those two are under review but everything else is good to go. I was just wondering. Thanks!
My husband and I took the class together, and I'm glad he was there. I think it's a great idea if you go to the class with her, or at least the range portion. There was a guy there when we were taking our class who had his CHL already and was just supporting his wife. He didn't stay for the whole class, but was there for half an hour or so in the morning, then we went to the range and he was with her for that. They went to lunch together and then he didn't come back. That worked well for them and would have satisfied me as well. I hope she does it!Teamless wrote:Mine won't go very often, as she is always "too busy" also.redlin67 wrote:but she is always "too busy".
But when I told her that I wanted to get a gun in the house as well as my CHL, we agreed it was best that she understood how to use it, and when to use it.
So we took our class together.
You might suggest to her that you and her BOTH take the class again, then talk to the instructor, let him/her know that you already have a CHL and are only there for her moral support, so he does not charge you for it (other than maybe range time).
Do you think then she would do it?
That's good news! I mailed mine in a week before you and I'm still stuck where I was weeks ago.dthlss1 wrote:Fingerprints have been accepted! This update happened somewhere between midnight last night and about 10:00 this morning. Weird that it occurred on a Sunday and over a holiday weekend, but I'm not complaining!
