Status changed to Passport photo holder : Under review

#1

Post by Lodans »

So everything has been moving along, then this morning I check my status and see that my passport photo holder was moved from received to under review. I have been at background review for about a week and a half and it still shows that. Has anyone seen this before? My wife and I took our class and turned everything in at the same time and she has moved to manufacturing. :mad5

OK so I called DPS today and they informed me that my pictures got rejected becuase they could not see my eyes. So now I have to wait for a letter from them, go get new pictures, and send them back to them by snail mail. Looks like at least a 2 week delay because the guy at Wallgreens did not do what i paid him to do. This sucks. Now my wife will have hers before me, at least one of us will be able to carry. :grumble

I had my pictures taken at the CHL class I went to. The guy taking them knew exactly what needed to be done. Pretty much stinks that you got the added waiting time. :mad5

I put the new pictures in the mail on Friday so we will see how long it takes for them to move my status.

Finally another change this morning - Background check complete manufacturing pending. Hopefully I will be rocking the plastic next week. My wonderful wife who received hers 3 weeks ago has been patient and waited to do her wally walk until i got mine so we could be together. Will update once mailed. :anamatedbanana :anamatedbanana

I know what you mean about the mail. The good thing for me is I live about 20 miles outside Austin so you would think they could get it here quick. I will post as soon as it arrives. Good luck to you.
