Re: May Applications

Re: May Applications
Hi all, I've been a "stalker" here for quite some time and decided to finally register and start posting. This is a great forum and I've learned alot from everyone.
Now here's my story....I'd love to hear from others that might be experiencing the same thing with their application. I submitted my original application (and paid the fees) online early May. I took my CHL class from "El Gato" in Texas City (great instructor by the way) shortly after, and mailed my paperwork to Austin mid-May. According to my return receipt, they received it May 21. After reading all the posts in this forum, I knew I was in for a long wait. Well today makes 62 days that DPS has had to process my application so I decided to go ahead and call to check the status. I talked to someone named Steve and he told me about the delays they've been experiencing because of all the applications. When he pulled my application up his only words were "hmmmmmm". I asked what hmmm meant and he said that it looked like my application was only partially submitted. Again I asked what that meant and he said that it wasn't fully submitted by them. I'm sure he could tell by the tone of my voice that I was a little concerned, because he back-tracked some and said that it's being processed, but not all information was put into their system yet. When I asked for an approximate timeframe of how much longer it may take he said he couldn't say. I asked him if it was fair to say another 60 days, his words were "60 days and most likely more than that".
I can understand some of the delays with the flood of apps they've received lately, but to be told that my app wasn't fully submitted by them yet after 62 days is discouraging. Anyone have a similar experience to this?
