Hey Lightning, just out of curiosity, did you ever get your update...?03Lightningrocks wrote:I just checked again... I am worried now. It has been 8 days already!!! Oh man... I sure hope nothing went wrong!
Congrats indeed!03Lightningrocks wrote:Well... Congrats! You are almost there!RX8er wrote:I just went manufacturer pending today.

Never said anything about not believing you, amigo. Just said it didn't make sense to me. I haven't checked numbers and wait times in a while, and with the increase in new apps, I can certianly see the elongated times. We are about to find out about the "new" wait times very soon, as my wife will be geting her license within the next few weeks...RX8er wrote:As you know, there have been a lot of changes in the last couple of months. Most of which 15,000 applications per month versus a a normal 5,000. There are post after post saying it is taking 30-50 days to get initial CHL and I've seen a couple for renewal as well. There are some that are not taking as long. Even Chas chimed in and said DPS is running 3 weeks. If you don't believe me, just give Rebecca Castillo a call at DPS ... Guess you are just one lucky man 1.5 years ago.
That doesn't make much sense that it takes 3-4 weeks to crack the envelope. Not trying to brag, but I went 16 days mailbox to mailbox including 2 weekends, and that was only 1.5 years ago and not a renewal...just lucky, I guess. Still, and this is pure speculation on my part, it would surprise me if it took that long, especially for a renewal...just one man's opinion...03Lightningrocks wrote:Mine is a renewal. I am hoping it moves quicker than the new apps. Maybe not. Oh well... Fortunately I have a Utah non resident I can carry under for awhile.RX8er wrote:DPS told T_B_M that it is 3-4 weeks before initial entry to system and assigned a tech for further review. Then, it's running 1-3 weeks for the check to be completed and 3-5 days for production and mailing.
