Missing Link

Post by Castex1 »

Would one of you fine people help me out with the link to check on my status. I am trying to be patient, but its kind of like a kid at Christmas. I mailed my papers on August 21 and Austin received it on August 23rd. Still no pin. I guess the good thing is so far, no returned paperwork.

What is the normal waiting period for getting a pin from Austin?

My advice once you get your pin try to forget about checking it everyday will drive you nuts.

It doesn't seem to get any better when the status changes to "Application Completed - license issued or certificate active" and you are waiting to get the plastic :!:

Austin signed for my app on August 23rd. I guess the pin should come along anyday. I don't mind the wait as long as I know it is in work. So far all I have is that they signed for it. I just hope whoever is working mine keeps a neater desk than I do. I always seem to find things buried in the piles on my desk. Thanks all.
