Re: Calling the DPS?
im starting to think theres something to contacting them, and the speed at which your application is processed... theres lots of evidence on this forum that would suggest my theory as correct, but who knows if its true or not.

Re: Calling the DPS?
wow... week 3 and theres no status update on their website? that's odd indeed... when you called what did they say about the no status on their site?Neverenough wrote:I on week #3. Everything submitted, and I have called a few times to make sure they have everything. Nothing showing in their website at all....no status, no update, nada. I am thinking that calling may have moved me to the bottom of the list!!

Re: Calling the DPS?
well i did an experiment.... i went ahead and called the DPS on friday march 9th and asked about my application status. the lady informed me im only 10 days into the processing and they have up to 60 days i said o ok thanks and hung up.... now today monday the 12th, my background check went from "under review" to "completed" which strengthens my original suspicion on this topic... idk if it was just coincidence, but you gotta admit, calling on friday and then on monday my application moves along.... idk. seems weird if you ask me.RPBrown wrote:What you can expect is they will tell you they have 60 days. I would not even bother calling until after the 60 days.Grundy1133 wrote:I didn't plan on calling them. Just wanted to see what to expect or do if it takes upward of 40+ days.

However, I'm thinking since you only completed the application last week (according to your other posts) you might be wasting your (& their) time by calling at only 8 calendar days in. From the feedback I've gotten from students recently the current timeline is between 2-3 weeks from completed application to receipt in the mail. But also keep in mind that depends on how many applications are in ahead of yours.

Calling the DPS?
So I've been browsing around the "Waiting Room" and I've noticed that a lot of people who have been waiting for an update on their application usually post that their licenses have been mailed only a few days after they called the DPS. so it makes me wonder if when you call them, if they put your application at the top of the queue or if it's just dumb luck that after they call all of a sudden their applications get accepted. What do you guys think?
