I would think by now a phone call or email inquiry would be warranted. Especially where it seems to be moving along fairly quickly after the first posted update.

From what I've seen in this forum there are a variety of factors involved - if you've moved a few times, maybe switched jobs, etc so it's not necessarily a clean record = quick background check sort of thing. And you gotta figure that, like any other job, some processors are just going to be better and more efficient at their job than others so there definitely is a 'luck of the draw' factor to be considered.Imsowright wrote:I don't understand how some that sent their stuff after me has already received their CHL already and mine is still under review. I have never had as so much as a speeding ticket. It should be a no brainer. My stuff was received by DPS on 4/3. Still under review. Maybe soon. I hope.
Yea, it must be who is working on it. They maybe called in sick or on vacation. You never know. I have been at the same job for over 17 yrs. and same residence for 16 yrs. I would almost think my application would fly through or at least as fast as possible. You do have a good point that we don't know the circumstances of who is working on it.al77382 wrote:From what I've seen in this forum there are a variety of factors involved - if you've moved a few times, maybe switched jobs, etc so it's not necessarily a clean record = quick background check sort of thing.

They do seem to be getting through the early April deliveries in the last few days so hopefully yours will update soon.

Maybe it'll update soon.Happy for you, but frustrating for me. I mailed my packet in 04/02. Background check is still pending .... I wonder if it's because I've been on a gun shopping spree since Christmas ... so the FBI has black listed me.truckster wrote:4/13-took class
