Email of receipt of my documents 10/5/2016

how long should i expect to wait? i had one arrest when i was 18 and all charges were unconditionally dismissed.
i obtained a copy of the dismissal order from the Nueces County (I'm from Corpus Christi) and submitted it in the supporting documents with my CHL-100...

Any idea how long i should wait? i see no change in status when i try to log on to check...

Would this mean my original email from them stating up to six weeks is now reset to eight more weeks? I sure hope not.

Sorry, probably. Their original six wk time frame was once everything was received and now possibly more like "We're so hammered with applications and people are now starting to take summer vaction time w/their families ...... Either way it is now happening, use this time to train and prepare, then enjoy!

I went ahead and called. The gentleman was very polite and explained that I had been approved and should receive it within 14 days.

Status changed today (6/11) 30 days from all in.

A dude called "brooklyn" is taking his first Wally Walk. He's probably stopping at the men's room and then checking on the ammo pricing. He's harmless and will be leaving the store shortly. Thank you, Walmart Shoppers.

That is 127 calendar days for anyone counting.

In Mid April I started emailing and calling DPS, they at that time claimed my CHL-100 pdf was "too dark to read" and asked me to submit a new one. Which I did, on April 26th...so it has been 38 calendar days since that last document upload.

But, ladies and gents...that means my seat is now open!

Hadn't heard or seen anything, so May 27th I called them for a status update. I was told that they can't read my character of service on my DD-214. They said that I will need to resubmit a cleaner copy or anything that would show I was honorably discharged. So that same day I sent them a copy of my Honorable Discharge certificate and a card from the county secretary stating that I filed and Honorable Discharge with them. I called today to check the status and to make sure that what I sent over was readable and that I wouldn't need anything else. The lady on the phone said that the new paperwork would do. I then asked how much longer it would be, she told me that it could be up to 12 weeks.

So all in March 22
Status change late August early September maybe?
Total time six months
