I took my class on 11/17, and mailed my paperwork on 11/18. Delivery confirmation showed my packet arriving in Austin on 11/20.
My plastic was waiting in my mailbox this afternoon. Total time: 18 days from the day they received my packet, counting weekends.
WOOHOO!!! I am so unbelievably stoked!

I'd love to see how their so called system works. How some can go over 60 days and others under 20 days.

Did you do online app and electronic fingerprints? That seems to be the 'fast' ticket.
I did a pure paper app with paper prints, and mailed on 11/22. I'd be surprised to see it by Christmas, as long as the prints don't get kicked back.
So far all I have is a cleared check.

I did my app online a couple of weeks before the class, and did the fingerprints electronically a couple days before my class at my instructor's advice. Took the class, sent in my CHL-100 with my other supporting documentation the next day. I took the class with a bunch of buddies, and 3 or 4 of us mailed them in that day or the next. It will be interesting to see how fast the others get theirs.

Damn! I did the class on Nov 20. Electric scanned prints, online app and online pay. All paperwork was mailed 11/22. Still no update online though.

HammondC, mine still says they are waiting on me to mail them my stuff. Apparently the online status has been messed up for a while. If my time is any gauge, you should be seeing yours soon.

Ironically, I'm military, so they didn't even get the regular fee from me, let alone anything on the side...

You would think for the arguably exorbitant CHL fee X the thousands of applicants, they could scrape together a decent system.
