After reading the reports in the waiting room the last few weeks, (BTW, I had to google the "where was the final battle for Texas independence skill testing question for registration...), I didn't think I would get mine until end of May maybe June. But mine just came in the mail today! I had checked the website yesterday (and everyday the past 6 weeks), but my status didn't change. I checked it just after I picked up the mail and it had changed, the same day I received the plastic!

I am a permanent resident, not a citizen, and I was worried that my application would be delayed, just like every time I purchase a firearm.
Anyhow, I am a happy dude

and I leave the waiting room with a smile on my face and giving the "I hope you get served soon," look to everyone else.
