Re: "Waiting Room"
Alrightie, I'm an official noob to this board, and it looks like I've got a lot of reading to catch up on!
Thanks to whoever is keeping up this little sane corner of Al's World Wide Web.
Here's my progress so far:
CHL Class - 04/11/12
Online Appl - 04/12/12
Fingerprint - 04/16/12
Mailed Appl - 04/16/12
DPS acknowleged - 5/3/2012
Current Status - "Background Check : Under review" - end quote.
Patience is a virtue, one supposes. I have high hopes for being complete by July, when I go on vacation.

Re: "Waiting Room"
Ugh. Got an email this morning that my fingerprints were rejected by "the state or the FBI". Will have to schedule a second try.
ETA: Oh, lookie! "Corn-Husker's" lotion. What would I do without you guys?

Re: "Waiting Room"
Welcome to the forum and the waiting room
The background check for the goodies might be faster than waiting for the plastic.
Enjoy your wait there are alot of great people here and great information.

Re: "Waiting Room"
5/4 update..All info has been received and validated and liscence is pending the outcome of my background check. Getting very excited. I expect only 2more weeks
Re: "Waiting Room"
That may be wishful thinking. The background check can take at least 14-21 days then another 5-14 once it is mail.Dunbar wrote:5/4 update..All info has been received and validated and liscence is pending the outcome of my background check. Getting very excited. I expect only 2more weeks

Thanks for bringing me back down to earth! Was talking with a good friend of mine who said after they received his packet, it was only two more weeks till his plastic came in.
I guess its different for everyone. Waiting is tougher when you dont have any patience!
Re: "Waiting Room"
My wife and I mailed our packets out together on Thursday, 19-APR-2012. I've been checking daily for updates and finally saw a change this morning.The screen I'm looking at doesn't show dates, it's just a checklist of sorts. I'm assuming everyone gets their dates from just checking the website daily?
Packet mailed: Thursday, 19-APR-2012
First Status Change, 8-MAY-2012

Re: "Waiting Room"
Is it normal for it to take two to three weeks for DPS to acknowledge receipt of your checklist? I see a lot in the 2+ week range, but also saw one that was mailed and acknowledged received in two days. What gives?

Re: "Waiting Room"
It usually takes a couple weeks for DPS to acknowledge. Those that are just a couple days are ones that send certified or some other way that confirms delivery.
