It took 3 weeks to get a reply from the e-mail.

In one sentence, the reply read: "Allow 180 days for processing."

That is seriously wrong in so many ways. It doesn't matter how busy they are. Six months to process a CHL application is unacceptable.

If it were me, I would submit the "fast" prints. There is a horror story in the forum from a poster who said his wife had prints rejected 3 or 4 times.

I couldn't resist. I emailed for my pin again. Same canned response. Blah, blah, blah...not in system.

Check cashed March 20th

The all caps email again. At first I thought the person sending the email was doing that on purpose to simulate what it would be like talking to them in person. Everyone knows the type...loud, rude...arrogant. Basic attitude of entitlement. The usual government employee type. Now I am beginning to think more along the lines of, so ignorant as to not know when to capitalize a word. This actually explains the delays in entering data to the system quite well. Could also be older software being used. DOS would call for cap locks on. In any case...little miss cap locks isn't representing herself very well to the public.
