I got a conformation email stating they received my attachments and they were forwarding to CHL specialist for review. I waited, waited, waited...checking daily, weekly, monthly, stopped checking. 5/30/2014 still no status update. So I called. It was busy and basically hung up on me. Annoying. So just to make sure I reprinted all my documents and snail mailed them. (I did email thinking it would expedite the process). I called late last week and spoke to a young man and he stated they were still waiting on my documents....what the heck. I told him about the email and the confirmation email and now the snail mail last week. I gave him my email and the email from their office (the one that responded). 15 mins later he comes back stating they have the documents and he would expedite the process from here on forward... The lady never forwarded my info. 4 months later...what the heck.

Finally 6/11/2014 I get an update! Woot! Background check. How long does it take once the status to background check is applied?

What I learned. If you have no updated after 2-3 months..Call. They seriously are pretty clueless.

:(

I'm thinking...should I resubmit documents online? Or just call? Or just wait? I don't even check anymore...

The only part I did online was the application. I mailed everything else in because I didn't realize the paperwork could be submitted online.

so how long did it take for you

nevermind I looked at the timeline on your earlier post and I guess mine is still sitting on someones desk

41 or 42 days - I didn't look at the site the day before, so it could have updated then. Hopefully yours will get off someone's desk and into the mix soon. The wait times between people are crazy, IMO.

you were spot on BSL I checked this morning which is day 43 and site finally updated from "waiting on required materials" to "manufactured pending" so evidentally it wasn't on someones desk but being processed so they must not update site as you progress

09/21/13 CHL Class
01/26/14 Online Application
02/07/14 Fingerprinted & mailed paperwork
02/08/14 Confirmation of delivery
03/21/14 Website updated; background check pending
03/22/14 License manufacturing
03/25/14 Mailed

Now the wait to receive the plastic. I'll holler when it finally shows up in the mailbox. I'm amused that I'll get mine before my husbands' - he hasn't even started the paperwork yet (we took the CHL class together).
