Re: 2016 Application Watch - post your 2016 timelines here

1/31/2016 - all paperwork in to DPS
Never got confirmation email
4/11/2016 - emailed Governor's office
4/13/2016 - got email from DPS saying license was mailed 4/13/2016
4/16/2016 - Status change online
4/20/2016 - PLASTIC IN HAND!

Finally. Don't know if the email to the Governor made a difference. Wish everyone the best of luck in their wait!

Re: 2016 Application Watch - post your 2016 timelines here

Okay Mikezee1970, I broke down. I emailed the Governor at the end of last week, and yesterday got a phone call from the DPS saying my application had been approved and I should get my plastic in 7-10 days. Haven't changed the status on the website yet, but I did get a response![/quote]

Status changed over the weekend. Nothing came in the mail yet though.

I think I may have made a clerical error. I applied for my license in Jan. A week or so later, I took the class and did my fingerprints the same day. I submitted all supporting documents the next day. Here's where it gets tricky. I don't "think" I ever received a confirmation e-mail. That's not to say that I did receive an e-mail, but then deleted it knowing full well that I just submitted my documents and thought the e-mail was frivolous. Big mistake. Reviewing all the posts in this forum made me realize I better make sure I get a confirmation e-mail, plus I may have goofed submitting the documents to RSD the first time and never actually received an e-mail (I've seen a post or two to make sure you select the right buttons when submitting online docs). Whatever the case, I re-submitted the docs and this time I did get a confirmation e-mail.

Unfortunately, I think my clock has reset because I read somewhere that said do not re-submit supporting docs as this will only slow down the process. Great. So, basically I wasted almost 3 full weeks.

I have not contacted RSD in any way, nor have I contacted state rep or governor's office. I plan on waiting it out.

Here's my timeline:

Application: 1/21/16
Fingerprints: 1/31/16
CHL-100: 1/31/16
Uploaded docs to RSD: 2/1/16
Re-uploaded docs to RSD: 2/19/16
Confirmation e-mail: 2/19/16
Website changed: N/A
Plastic in hand: N/A

I'll let you know if anything changes. I'll keep watching this forum.
This is exactly my time line, almost point by point. I too didn't receive an email confirmation, except about the fingerprints being received. So, I called a week after I uploaded by CHL-100 and was assured that my application and supporting documents were complete. I haven't called since, but haven't heard a peep either. I did send an email Monday asking if they would expedite my application.

Looking forward to hearing any changes you see, I'll post mine as well. Good luck to both of us!

Status wording

I finished everything and submitted Feb 1. Called and confirmed they had everything. This is what it says on the webpage about License Application Status:

"If you have a pending License to Carry a Handgun application, please allow sufficient time for processing. If you have not already done so, please submit all of the items listed on the checklist you received. DPS will notify you by mail if further information or additional documents are required."

Is that what everyone else's says? I keep hearing people saying theirs says "pending". Is that what they are referring to, or should I be concerned?
