Alrightie, I'm an official noob to this board, and it looks like I've got a lot of reading to catch up on!

Thanks to whoever is keeping up this little sane corner of Al's World Wide Web.

Here's my progress so far:

CHL Class - 04/11/12
Online Appl - 04/12/12
Fingerprint - 04/16/12
Mailed Appl - 04/16/12
DPS acknowleged - 5/3/2012
Current Status - "Background Check : Under review" - end quote.

Patience is a virtue, one supposes. I have high hopes for being complete by July, when I go on vacation.

Ugh. Got an email this morning that my fingerprints were rejected by "the state or the FBI". Will have to schedule a second try.


ETA: Oh, lookie! "Corn-Husker's" lotion. What would I do without you guys?

Howdy All,
Noob here. Its good to see Im not the only one who seems to be waiting a while for them to input all my info.

CHL Class: 4/14
Online App/Reg: 4/16
Forms Sent: 4/23
Fingerprints: 4/26

Still says the state is waiting on all required documents to arrive. Im hoping my plastic shows up before the end of the month. Have a few goodies on layaway and dont want to have to do any more background checks.

Welcome to the forum and the waiting room :thewave

The background check for the goodies might be faster than waiting for the plastic. :fire :fire

That may be wishful thinking. The background check can take at least 14-21 days then another 5-14 once it is mail.

Thanks for bringing me back down to earth! Was talking with a good friend of mine who said after they received his packet, it was only two more weeks till his plastic came in.
I guess its different for everyone. Waiting is tougher when you dont have any patience!

My wife and I mailed our packets out together on Thursday, 19-APR-2012. I've been checking daily for updates and finally saw a change this morning.The screen I'm looking at doesn't show dates, it's just a checklist of sorts. I'm assuming everyone gets their dates from just checking the website daily?

Packet mailed: Thursday, 19-APR-2012
First Status Change, 8-MAY-2012

Is it normal for it to take two to three weeks for DPS to acknowledge receipt of your checklist? I see a lot in the 2+ week range, but also saw one that was mailed and acknowledged received in two days. What gives?

It usually takes a couple weeks for DPS to acknowledge. Those that are just a couple days are ones that send certified or some other way that confirms delivery.
