I am new to the group, and I am proud to be a part of you!
I will try to be brief and to the point. If you have waited a couple weeks for info on your CHL... that's nothing! Try 5 weeks before I received the letter, and it's been another 2+ weeks in the "processing" stage. Here's the condensed story:
I went to CHL class on August 5th. Sent my paperwork in the next week. Waited 2 weeks, then called to see if they received it. The lady there (a very nice and overworked lady at that) told me that they were at least 4 weeks behind and that they had received - year-to-date - over 8000 applications! So I waited another 3 weeks with no word. So I called again. This time the lady couldn't find any paperwork on me, and nothing had been entered. She asked for my CHL App # and said she'd call me back with any info. **NOTE** Just a suggestion... keep your CHL App # readily available. That's the only number that will really help you out in this process. Anyway, she did call. She found it and said that they were entering it in. All was good, and she apologized for the length of time it has taken but they were only on August 14th. That was two and 1/2 weeks ago. So they are running approx. 4 weeks behind. I finally received my letter a week and 1/2 ago with my pin #. My app is still in the "processing" stage like I said earlier. Let's hope that I receive my actual CHL before Thanksgiving!
Just kidding. I should have it in hand NLT mid-Oct.Well... that's my story in a nutshell. I will take time to read others stories as time permits.
Chat at ya'll later!
OY!
