Hey Dano,

Thanks for the well wishes! After calling Monday and emailing my documents, Tuesday I could seeing updates, and Background check under review. Today All checked and Manufacturing Pending!

Good luck to everyone waiting

Good to hear Dano, but 7 weeks is still a long time. I saw your post and earlier called today. After 20 plus minutes on hold. I spoke with Dan also, I had spoken with Dan last week and fax him another copy of the documents I had previously email on the 3rd of Feb. He actually remembered me, and told me he had placed my documents he received last week in line for review. When I questioned him how long for me to see an acknowledgement on the wedsite. He told me I was back in line and it could be another 2 to 3 weeks. I asked if he was kidding, he said no, and passed me to a level 2 person. The lady that he passed me to was helpful and had me send my documents via email to her. 3rd submission of my documents. She has acknowledged reciept via a reply to my email, but the website has not. She also told me the person that had been working the emailed submissions was no longer working for DPS, could be the one I was told retired when I call last week.

I saw on another thread today. they (DPS) are receiving 15,000 to 17,000 new applications a month. I am still wondering where all the additional revenue is going, and why the State cannot hire some people to simple acknowledge reciept of documents. Sure hope the "paustin' guy gets the fact that this has nothing to do with the FBI.

Anyway I would advise anyone who has not seen an update within 3 weeks time to call and check status. It is also funny to me that everyone I have spoken with can see that my documents had arrvied on the date I emailed them orgionally. Even the person I spoke with back in Feb could see the my inital email submission had in fact arrived when I stated, but yet the website was not updated? So, yes they are loosing paperwork. Wonder where the 60 day timeframe law comes into play???

Good luck!

Ok Ladies and Gentlemen. I am in the same boat. Application back in December, Finger Prints January 4th, Class Feb 3rd, emailed all documents Feb 4th. I emailed to check status back towards the end of Feb. Got the standard it takes up to 4 weeks to see status change. Call the phone line, took most of a morning to get through. The gentlemen told me he could see my emailed documents in the system and they were received Feb 16th. Well no status change as of March 18. I call again today, agian most of the morning redialing and on hold. The gentlemen today told me again he could see my documents they were recieved on the 16th of Feb, but the person they were sent to had retired. Can you believe it, retired??? He asked me to fax him my documents and he would get them in the system. I understand the overwhelming amount of new applications, but the State is receiving $140 per application. And if what I've been told there are an additional 10,000 per month currently. To me that says the State is collecting an additional $1,400,000 a month. Tell me we can't simply accknowledge the reciept of the documents? Much less make sure the work of a retiree gets passed on to another worker. Let's take care of the tax paying, fee paying citizens. What do you think?
