Update: the wife's plastic came in the mail today. She also informed me we will be going wardrobe shopping to find her new cc clothing.

Congrats.

To quote her. "I got new plastic for my wallet now you get to take some out of yours."

After waiting for just over six weeks I decided to call. Very pleasent operator informed me they do not have my CHL-100 which was submitted online in pdf format. Informed that I did receive an email confirmation. They are looking into matter.

Just got email addressing the CHL-100. They do have it and requested expedite the process. Very fast response to issue.

4/03/15 Received confirmation email from RSD Customer Relations confirming receipt of supporting docs with message to allow at least 6 weeks for processing.
6/01/15 Still waiting

Unable to speak with CHL representative at TDPS to check status of application. Recording notes that a representative is unavailable because of high call volume. Same deal yesterday. No response to my email status request sent yesterday.

You should call right at 7am. & they are several weeks if not months behind on status emails.

Called TDPS early, as recommended (thanks for the tip infoman) and spoke with a TDPS rep. She claimed that they did not have my CHL course certificate. I informed her that I had submitted that doc online, along with the other required items, back on April 3rd, and had received a confirmation email from RSD Customer Relations that they had received my supporting docs, and that they would alert me by mail if they needed any additional docs or information. Never received any such mail from TDPS or any other agency.

The TDPS rep said she would have to check with the email confirmations people in her office, but they would not be available until 9:00 AM. She was very polite and articulate, and took my phone and email information so someone could follow up. Hope springs eternal.

Interested in knowing if anyone else has had this kind of issue lately: TDPS claims they are missing a required doc, but the applicant did not know such doc was missing because TDPS did not notify them of the missing doc.

Update.

I had a follow up call this afternoon with a TDPS rep, who confirmed that their email receipt team did receive my CHL course certificate, but for some reason (which she could not explain) that doc had not made it down to the licensing team, so my background check was never initiated! My application has just been sitting there, with no notice to me that there was a problem.

My application is now being "expedited" (1-3 business days), but that just gets me to the background check process that should have been done weeks ago. So now I have to wait up to an additional 60 days, depending on how complicated my particular background check is. Not impressed.

Very disappointing to take the steps I took Day One to confirm IN WRITING that TDPS had all the necessary information from me, only to learn at this late date that they dropped the ball. Lesson for other CHL applicants: don't trust TDPS' online communication services (email or doc submission). Call TDPS early and regularly to make sure your application is moving along in a timely manner.

Same boat as you. Called after six weeks just to check if paperwork was correct. Never sent my application to licensing team. It is not the end of the world type of event. I have a clean and boring background check so it should be three or four weeks. A friend took the class with me and we did all the paper work online together. He got his plastic last week and flaunted it to me.
