I know its nerve racking but you only have twenty days under your belt from email received. My background and fingerprints took 40+ days. It will be over soon. Time does not start until you get that email confirmation.

Same here, I keep checking the site expecting to see that it's in the mail lol

I did spend my wait researching belts and holsters, so I made the best of it. Got a Kore Essentials gun belt that I started wearing over the weekend...comfortable. For my holster, I selected an Alien Gear "shapeshift". It has pretty good reviews and since I'm completely new to carrying I like that i can morph the holster to different configurations to see what I like best. Once I find which position I prefer, I'll look around for some other options.

I've been stuck on the "Background Check : Under review" stage since then (everything else up to that point is green). I'm still under the 60-day mark, but its taking much longer than I thought. I have nothing on my record...can't imagine that it'd take more than a minute to clear me.
Today - Apr 24...57 days after I submitted all of my paperwork...my background check finally flipped to green. I'm now "Print Pending".
Today - Apr 26 - Status is "Mailed"
Do you count weekends as part of 57 days?

I am going on 62 days (44 business days) with this background check.
I would email them to check on your status or call them and ask do they need anything else. You are over 60 days now it can't hurt nothing.
I actually emailed them once before, and they told me to wait 8 business weeks starting on Feb 23rd. So I doubt I can do much until 8 business weeks have passed.

Update: Good news. I check the status every day, and shortly after I wrote the above response and then checked the status..

Background Check : Completed
License To Carry A Handgun : Print Pending

At least for me, it took 45 business days or 63 calendar days to complete the background check.
April 27th: Background Check Completed
May 2nd: License mailed. :hurry:

Nothing in the mail box today. Gotta remember this is two government agencies that are working to get this to me. Hopefully tomorrow will bring better news.
