Two timelines for you, both me and my husband. I literally checked it every single day along with this forum and I was able to estimate where DPS was in entering documents.
online application - December 2012 - Christmas present
application received - January 2013
CHL class - 2/9/2013
Fingerprints - 2/28/2013
Mailed to DPS (certified mail) - 3/4/2013
Delivered to DPS - 3/7/2013
status changed on SUNDAY - 4/21/2013
now shows:
Application : Received
Fingerprints : Complete (MY HUSBAND SHOWS UNDER REVIEW)
Affidavits : Received

Citizenship : No documentation required
Passport photo holder : Received
Photo : Received

Background check seems to be taking about 30 days. Hang in there...it was the longest 6 weeks of my life waiting for the status to update as documents recieved, had me thinking they were lost in the mail, but be patient.
