Post by -Mark in Tomball- »

Hello Guys!!!

I have been browsing the site for about a month now and I Love it!! Lot's of great information in here, Thanks for that.

Well here is my waiting history.

CHL Class--------------------------1/14
Online App-------------------------1/16
Fingerprints-----------------------1/18
Paperwork recieved by DPS------1/23

BG & Fingerprints Under review-1/30
:banghead:
I have not had any other updates since and needless to say I have worn holes in my keyboard checking and double checking Daily.

Hopefully something happens soon

Welcome to the forum, hope you get an update soon, I've been in review since last Friday, figure it will be next week or the week after that before I see an update. I had a CHL but let it expire back in '03 so just hopefully it'll move smoothly.

If you call, you will get the pat response that you need to wait 60 days before calling. Sounds like your process is going along just fine.

Seems like your process moved a lot quicker than mine! Don't stress too much; you'll have your plastic in hand soon.

Still haven't received my plastic since it was updated to mailed 1 week ago. :totap:

How long is it taking for everyone to get the plastic?

7 days is a pretty long time! Usually does not take more than 4 or five days.

Plastic finally arrived :chldancing :chldancing :chldancing :chldancing............ via my neighbor. I live in a neighborhood that has community mailboxes and my neighbor check's his mail like once a month or so. He has seen me going to the mailbox a couple of times a day and today decided to walk with me to get his. Needless to say it was packed into his month's worth of mail for at least a couple of days.
