72 days here fingerprints conf 1/15/2016

We were both were in the same day. I just got approved today, so I expect that you'll be approved within the next day or two (if you haven't already). Good luck and stay true..... It finally our turn.

I hope so cuz honestly I'm just totally over it! Totally over the hype. Completely ridiculous peeps a month or 2 behind have been carrying already.

Just received a call from a DPS supervisor. Great news. My application was processed and approved this AM and will be sent to print by the end of the day. Please allow 7-10 days for delivery. I've noticed, judging from recent posts on here, that it generally has taking less then less then a week from this point. My {mental} target day is now 4/6/16, which would be 82 days from "all in to plastic".



Timeline
12/4/15: Application
12/7/15: Fingerprints (received by DPS 12/8/15)
1/14/16: CHL-100
1/15/16: Uploaded CHL & DD-214 to RDS (all in date)
1/21/16: Received confirmation of receipt
3/23/16: Received response from DPS (as the result of a call to my state rep): Just wait a bit longer, should get to it next week
3/30/16: Received follow up call from DPS: Approved and sent to print (Day 75)

Website Change: ?????
Plastic Received: ?????

Looks like the end of the tunnel is finally in sight for me. As an aside, it looks like if you've called for a status update (either through state rep, DPS Director or Governor), it may not hurry your app along, but it looks like they will call you when you get approved if you request it. That worked for me and a few other in the last few days or so.

It was 4 days from the day they told me it was approved until Status change and then the next business day I had plastic. I am in the Austin area. The end is in sight!

God for you!

I called today and got through after the 10th time and waited 40 minutes, a fella answered, I stated that I was in my 12th week and was wondering where I was at in the process, I heard him chuckle when I stated the 12 weeks, but anyway he ask for my license number and stated that I was one of the lucky ones that my LTC had been approved and I would get it in the mail in the next 7 to 10 days.

I am reluctant to get excited but hey we will see. There has been no status change on the website, so the pessimist in me says if it doesn't get here in that time frame I won't be disappointed.

I have noticed on this forum that when they say you should get it in 7 to 10 days it is usually sooner so here's hoping that it true.

Thanks Gnameree02,

This has been an ordeal to say the least, Good to hear you're almost there as well.

Hopefully we will both get plastic by Saturday, I have read most of the time it comes within a couple of days of website change if you are near Austin.

Congratulations!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
