Status Change Question

#1

Post by cupofjoe04 »

Mailed the completed packet on 3/15.

FINALLY received the long awaited status change today! On a Sunday, too... Praise the Lord!!!

My list of item status reads as I would expect, and there are little green check marks or yellow caution signs beside each one. I guess this is supposed to simplify things... but without a key to tell you what they mean by the symbols it does not. Here is my question, everything on the list has a green check mark except "Background Check: Under review" and "Concealed Handgun License: Print pending completion of application review"... and the FIRST item "Application: Received"

So: it says "Application: Received", but there is a yellow caution sign. Should I be concerned that something isn't right on my application (did it online)? Or is this a normal status until my Background check is complete? Any advice or help that you experienced CHL holders can offer would be greatly appreciated!!! Also- how long would you estimate for the Background check to take? I'm hearing anywhere from 10 days to 1 month.

For reference, my list is as follows
(Yellow Caution Sign) Application: Received
(Green Check) Fingerprints: Complete
(Green Check) Affidavits: Received
(Green Check) DL or ID: Valid
(Green Check) Citizenship: No doc required
(Green Check) Passport Photo Holder: Received
(Green Check) Photo: Received
(Green Check) Proof Of Classroom Training: Received
(Green Check) Proof of Proficiency Training: Received
(Green Check) Fee: Received
(Yellow Caution Sign) Background Check: Under Review
(Yellow Caution Sign) Concealed Handgun License: Print pending completion of application review

Nothing to worry about at all. It'll stay yellow until everything is completed. Here's a reference:

FYI mine took 5 working days to complete Background Check. 7 days with the weekend in it. Hope this helps.

You should receive your plastic any day now. The application received will stay yellow for some time after you receive your license. Congrats!!!
