Congratulations, Michael! Both of us know what a grueling process this wait can be. The 3 days till plastic is a piece of cake. Enjoy the wally walk!

I feel the same way about WM, but no ammo (unless you're loadin' up your nail gun) at HD and no nachos!

Congratulations nedmore! I see a Walmart visit in your very near future.

Congratulations, crisp_one! Make sure you enter your time on DPS Processing Times in "General CHL Discussion" folder. Your plastic should come in 3 days like mine did. Then holster up and get out to Wally World.

See my signature below for today's update.

Yeah......Yeah.......Yeah

28 Oct 2007 - took the CHL class
2 Nov 2007 - mailed application
26 Nov 2007 - received PIN, checked online status = "Processing Application"
3 Dec 2007 - received letter, more info needed
7 Dec 2007 - i provided the the info they requested, online status = "Processing Application"

As of today, 28 March 2008, status is still "Processing Application".

That's nearly 5 months since I mailed it in.

This is unbelievable! I hope you've contacted them and be sure to tell them that they've exceeded their 60 day window!

Well, tomorrow I finish out week 12 and start on week 13. Hopefully, it's a lucky 13. Does anybody seem to notice that system updates happen more on Tuesday/Wednesday than any other day of the week or is it just me? Checking timelines that have been posted, it seems that is the case. Another reason why I wonder what the H is going on in Austin?

Taking their sweet time at our expense!

Tomorrow is another milestone day for me. 80 official days since received application. There is no rhyme nor reason why some apps are processed within 60 days and others are not. No one here can speculate as to their method unless they have personally worked in that office or know someone who has. Answers received via phone calls or emails have to be discounted since they have no semblance to reality. Only one statement can be made with certainity, "They're not very efficient!" So goes the typical government worker.
