Where do you check "status change"

Nice! Congratulations! Iv submitted all of my documents before you and you still received yours first. That makes me hopeful though.

When you log in, if the screen gives you the option of changing your address, it means your status has changed. I got my card in the mail 2 days after it changed.
Good luck.

Re: May 2015
How will I be notified if I did something incorrectly during the application process? Email, snail mail or on the website?

Re: May 2015
Here is my timeline.
25April-took class
29April-submitted application and documents (DD214,etc)
4May- fingerprints
28May (today)-change of information option showed up on website.
From what I see most people get their plastic within a day or two after the status changes on the website. Hopefully I'm that lucky. I'm like a kid waiting on Christmas.
Well, it seems I was even luckier than I thought, and DPS was a little slow in changing my status. I got plastic in the mailbox the day my status changed online!!!

For what it is worth, from the time DPS received my application to the time I received plastic was one week.
