The holidays seemed to really throw a wrench into the process... there was a 10 day difference between the date the website said "Mailed" and the actual postmark on the mail when it was received... so from "Mailed" to in-hand took 14 days.

Awesome, :cheers2: you should have an update by Saturday at the latest! I just put Mrs. Wodathunkit application in today, takes her class Saturday and fingerprints Monday, hope to mail all her stuff Monday. It will give me something to do now that I'm addicted to checking the CHL site 4 times a day.....I've been going through withdrawals "rlol"

UPDATED again today...

Online Application: 11/26/12
CHL CLass/Fingerprints: 11/30/12
Submitted Documents: 12/03/12
Received by DPS: 12/05/12 (sent return receipt required)
Background Review: 12/31/12 (Under Review)
Manufacturing Pending: 01/13/13
Manufacturing: 01/15/13
Mailed: 01/16/13

26 days to get a status change from "waiting to receive documents" to "under review".
14 days in background review.
2 days pending manufacturing
1 day in mfg

An observation for all that are still watching for updates after mailing docs or while background check is under review: based on my experience so far it looks like they update those two categories in batch mode once weekly on the weekend. And then once background check is finished they update nightly real time.
