Glad I am not the only one.

Submitted online application- 12/27 ( is this where I messed up? by sending this first before everything else. I don’t really remember)
Class taken – 12/28/15
Prints taken – 12/29

I still have not received anything.

I did receive the confirmation for the online application.(showed a barcode and numbers)
I'm all in 12/28 but did not get an email confirmation. If I get mine I'll hold the waiting room exit door open for ya.

Don't feel like you are alone. I took my class on 12-11-15. I already had registered, and had finger prints taken at that point. On 12-12-16 I mailed off all documents. The website to this day still has not changed. I did one day get the call to go through to Austin about early February and they said they had everything and it was in process. Almost a month latter I still wait patiently. JJ

I was told by my class instructor that mailing the documents certified, signature required, created a date record that DPS would abide by.

Dunno, maybe that really helped... I never hassled anybody about my application, maybe that kept it on top... or, maybe my application just fell into the right hands, by chance... or karma.
Hence my problem. No signature required is the way I sent mine. I do know they have it but I do not know when they got it. I'm currently on hold for an estimated 39 minutes. LOL

Update, took the lovely lady about 18 minutes to get on the phone. She informed me that my application was Issued today and sent to printing. She said I should have it in hand within 14 business day. :patriot:

This thread moves so fast. I'm curious, how many more December applicants do we still have out there?

I know we haven't determined when the clock starts, but my app was done 12/21, and last confirmation email was 12/29.

I'm still here, dang it.
Class 12/20
confirmation email 12/21
fingerprints 12/23

Today is 79 calendar days/56 business days from my confirmation email. No status change. No news from DPS/RSD other than "wait longer"

I've been following this board for several weeks now. I figured I may as well post my timeline.

Application: 12/30
Fingerprints 1/5
LTC Class and online document submission: 1/17
RDS Acknowledgement email: 1/21

Based on what I'm seeing, I'm expecting (hoping) to see something near the end of March. *crosses fingers*

Were you able to leave Lowe's without spending over $100? I can't seem to master that art yet.
