How long before I worry?

Did they cash your check yet? It has been just over two weeks for me and they haven't cashed it yet. Should I be worried? I'm in the same boat just want to make sure they recieved the thing.

Just for a frame of reference, I mailed my package after you did (25th recieved on 27th) and my check cleared the bank on the 4th.

Yeah its not looking good. I sent them an email this morning. A very friendly lady called me a few hours later. Basically she told me they can't really help me until it has been entered into the system. She suggested I follow up with them at the end of the week. Now I'm getting nervous anyone know what to do if they lost my packet?

I did that online thing, before Sept 1st. How stupid!!!! I should of checked these forums. I could of saved myself $70, because of my veteran status. They won't reiburse. :(

Good news the check cleared today phew they did receive the packet after all. Oh well sorry to have wasted their time with a phone call today. That was an extra 5 minutes that could have been spent processing our apps hehe. Anyhow time to settle in and start the real wait. Wish me luck hopefully I'll be a quick one.

I sent a completed packet to DPS, last tuesday. and it still says "Packet Mailed to Applicant."

When does it normally change status to Application received, or such?

Well it just changed to "Proccessing Application". 5 weeks later!!!! I hope the processing part does not take as long!!!!

Nice I emailed them yesterday and they sent me my pin. I'm also "processing". May our turnaround be swift.
