I'm curious about the submission. I applied and submitted all documents last week. Will I receive a confirmation telling me everything is received? I'd hate to wait for my license not knowing if I completed everything correctly.

12/6: CHL application completed
12/9: CHL-100 submitted via the website
12/9: Electronic fingerprints taken (assuming I don't need to submit any paperwork on this... it is automatic, correct?).

If you submitted any documents via online, you should get a confirmation email stating that your documents were received. This typically takes 1-2 business days if you're lucky. After your confirmation of documemts email, you now will begin the "waiting" game. The next step may take a couple of weeks which is when your application is going through the beginning stages. During this period you most likely will not see any status changes via the website until they reach your fingerprint and background review. If you have a clean background expect this to not take too much time. However, if you have anything on your background report that you did not acknowledge, you will receive "the letter" asking for more information. This will put your app back into holding. Once you submit any additional documents requested, they now have 180 days to finish processing your app instead of the original 60. I can assure you that calling the RSD will not encourage them to process your app any faster and you will not receive any information from them about your app other than that your app is in process and this is the amount of time we have... Good Luck! Hope this helps you and any other new LTC Applicant.

Typically once your background review has began, you will see an itemized status list. It's nice to see a lot of the timelines on here but unfortunately, every single app is different. Every one goes through a manual process and some may get processed sooner than others. However, if you're one of the unluckys that get the dreaded letter in the mail requesting more information... you could be waiting quite a bit longer than the average which no one can tell you what that really is either. Hope this helps..lol

I'm getting the same thing. Not sure if I should be worried.

My app did finally appear in process online with a status. It took about 8-9 days to get a status update view.
For you I wouldnt be worried at all, you submitted docs 2 days ago.

I received my supporting docs conf email a week ago and when I log in to see the status I get essentially a blank page. When typically, have others at least been able to see the status after they received their supp docs email?
