My timeline is simular to yours and I'm still awaiting the first update to the web site. I did see a couple of other threads that said they ( DPS) were swamped and had some software problems. Said it might take an extra couple of weeks to see an update

Minimum is 2 weeks. Depending on where you lived, what investigator receives your file, etc. It will take upward of 4 weeks. Most people have their background check completed within 2.5 - 3 weeks.

Bill sent my app certified on March 2nd. Because I forgot to sign one paper, I received a request & the paper to sign and return a couple of weeks ago. After all of that, it took only 53 days from time we sent the app to plastic in hand! Yay! Probably would have been here a week ago if I hadn't forgotten that one paper. This was done using the new e-fingerprint system =)
Glad to be one of the Cool Kids now :D
