Awesome, that's good to know. Thank you.... Was that from the time the website changed or when they told you over the phone?

Approved by phone on a Wed. The next Monday morning, website changed. That Wednesday (today) got it in the mail

I'm new here but I've been lurking. I'm posting I guess to vent some of my rage for dps. I have a very clean background (no arrest) and I've called and talked to someone several times and I get nothing when I talk to them. Its just "keep waiting" "you're calling too soon" etc. tomorrow will be 9 weeks for me and I'm just very irritated that everytime I call I get a different answer that really gives me no info. I'm convinced the people they have are just some idiots they pay $8 an hour to sit around and read a list of predetermined excuses they have when we call.

Actually you're looking at about 8 weeks, not 9. It goes from your confirmation date which you said was 12/28 so that left 3 days in December. There is then 31 days in January, at least one of which was a holiday, but skip that. And today was the 23rd of February. So....

3+31+23 = 57 or 1 day over 8 calendar weeks. This has been in the neighborhood of being normal as of late and it could possibly be a little longer because they apparently got swamped in December. That happens in pretty much any line of work which is why things such as backorders happen when you try to order a product on occasion.

Calm down, you'll be licensed soon. I know that's not what you want to be told but that's the way it is and there's no point in having an anxiety attack over something that you can't control.
