This if for everyone still waiting on theirs in June of 2017 as I have plastic in hand as of today. My full timeline is below, but I want to make note of three things that slowed mine down. Also, please note, these are total days, not business days, it includes holidays and weekends in the day count. Also, for mailing time, I live in a suburb of Fort Worth, so that probably helped.

1. It was 14 days between filling out my application and taking my class
2. I incorrectly submitted my CHL-100, the new option is CHL-100 or other supporting documents. BE SURE AND USE THAT ONE. I know it seems obvious, but that wasn't the verbiage when I submitted.
3. I had a couple of Class C Misdemeanor arrests about a decade ago that might have slowed my background check down, but regardless the first 44 days of my timeline could have easily been compressed to just two or three days.
