I got my PIN just about 30 days after Austin received my packet. I can't find any rhyme or reason why some take longer than others.
It will come, and when it does, it will just give you something else to wait on.

True. The PIN will come and then you will only be checking the website 10 times and day going nuts. It only makes the wait feel much longer.

Congrats on getting the PIN.

My packet arrived at DPS on 2/5. Today is 3/5. Twenty-nine days so far. No PIN and still waiting.

For some who may wonder , I NEVER called, and only sent ONE email requesting a pin about a month after I mailed it off, and then left it up to them to do what they do.

Went to wal-mart last night to pick up a few things but I have yet to complete an official wally walk.
