Santa did come after all! Application Completed - license issued or certificate active

71 days from receipt until approval status changed.

120 days?!?! Did they give you a reason for the delay? I wish the law had some more teeth to get the license issued in 60 days. I don't guess there is much more I can do than bug them every so often with a phone call.

I haven't received the business days excuse from them yet. I actually did call on day 60 to check on the status and they said they were waiting on a response from some group but they wouldn't tell me who. I've lived in the same house for 8 years, was in the military 12 years before that and have never been arrested. I thought mine would be an easy approval but I guess not. I was hoping to have it before I travel out of state for Christmas but it doesn't look like that is going to happen. Hopefully Santa will bring me my CHL this week.

I'm at T+66 today and had nothing returned. I emailed them today for a status and here is their reply.

We did receive your application, but at this time it is still going through its regular processing. However, due to an increase in application submissions, the CHL staff is slightly behind schedule, but is making every effort to reduce the backlog. Thank you for your continued patience.
