I have to leave town and if he doesn't come before I leave, I'll have to wait until tomorrow to see if I got my plastic or not!

Bummer... but on the bright side... you know its coming!!!! ;)

in general, how long after manuf. pending does it take to mail??

I think mine was on manuf for about 5 days. Once it turned to Mailed it took about 3 days. But from what I have read in these forums there is no real pattern to it.

In the meantime, I'm still working on getting a gun ... money, figuring out what to get, etc.

So, after 2 1/2 weeks my status has now changed from "waiting on receipt of materials" to "application is in progress". There is one hiccup though. Everything shows as "received" or "under review" except for the Passport Photo Holder, which shows as "Not received, notice sent to applicant". I sent the photos in an envelope with my name on the back, just as I was told to do by my instructor. So, apparently I must have missed something, seemingly this "Passport Photo Holder".

Has anyone else run into this?

The Passport Photo Holder doesn't really hold your passport photos. It's a form you have to fill out. You can download the form from the DPS site.

I think the form you need to down load is in the documents section look for passport holder print it out fill out your name and sign it send it in

Thanks folks... I totally overlooked that.

Well, I guess my mailman WASN'T late yesterday...he didn't come at all!

I checked with neighbors after opening the (disappointingly) empty mailbox to find not a single piece of mail, and they said they didn't get any mail yesterday, either. While I'm disappointed that I didn't get my plastic, at least I know I wasn't the only one who didn't get mail.

Twiddling my fingers until 4pm when the mailman rolls around this way...

Woooooo hooooo...... Plastic in hand today!
Time to do the Wally Walk!

Congrats!

Ouch. The mail came and my plastic is nowhere to be seen. Guess I'll be twiddling my thumbs tomorrow too...

No plastic for me either

Well, with any luck you will be taking your kids or just enjoying the trick or treat...and packing heat! ;)

A friend of mine's birthday was yesterday. He submitted his renewal paperwork two weeks before I sent my first time paperwork in. His hasn't come yet. Said Manufacturing Pending yesterday when he checked. When I called him yesterday to wish him a happy birthday, I said "Bet You can't guess what I'm a doin'" His reply was... "Bet you can't guess what I won't be doin' tomorrow." <G>

His should be here by next week, but he's feeling naked and vulnerable today.
