I feel you. Its frustrating when you mail it off and ppl who mailed it of around when you did have already got their cards. I see some ppl got underreview about a week after it being recieved at dps and others had to wait a few weeks just for the review to start. :grumble :mad5 :banghead:

Well it's getting "better", I think :confused5 :confused5 . DPS website shows....................
"Manufacturing Pending" so hopefully it is almost over and will have the plastic in a week or two, everthing else has green check marks except Application and CHL. I guess thats good :woohoo. Plastic arrive and the Crossbreed, on the same day????? Better than a wet dream "rlol"

My renewal timeline:

7 weeks mailbox to mailbox. DPS moving at the speed of government as always. At least it was faster than my first application back in '06

I've been wondering if one's background makes a difference in the time it takes. I thought mine would take forever since I've had 4 different jobs, 5 different addresses and some time unemployed in the last 5 years. On the other hand at various points in my life I've been checked by the Secret Service, FBI, DOD, ATF and hold a type 03FFL. My background check took less than a week according to the DPS website. Just wondering if that made a difference at all.

I know it...I'm a dummy and didn't send in the CHL-6 when I mailed everything else on 9/9 so I'm not sure how long that set it back. Then the background check took a really long time. Today it finally updated to "manufacturing pending." We'll get 'em one of these days! ;-)
