Status still has not changed from:" Application processed online. Concealed Handgun Licensing is waiting on the receipt of required materials. Once the application and materials have been received by Concealed Handgun Licensing and processing has begun, a more detailed status will appear on this page."

Is this normal? I am a dual citizen, so I did have to submit my certificate of citizenship...
Not sure but I don't have dual citizenship and my status has not changed either. My documents were submitted on 9/16/2013. :confused5

No, as of today, I haven't received any update. It still says they are waiting on the required documentation. Today is 8 weeks since I put it in the mail. I just sent it first class. Now, I wish I would have sent it "Return receipt requested". For all I know, it's lost.

Also, two weeks ago I sent them an E-mail requesting that they verify receipt of my documents. Got an automated reply saying they would look in to it, but I should give them sufficient time to respond.
So far, nothing from that either.
