January 2011 Applications

[macattac]

Should be home for a week anyway.

I mailed it off Jan. 24 and I forgot to fill out a section of the application, they sent the form back to me and I mailed it out last Saturday and it still shows my application as "Incomplete, notice mailed to me"

Grrrrr

Just for anyone looking for timing (I know I've been checking this forum daily):

Mailed Package & Fingerprinted: 1/28
Status showed online: 2/12
Background check cleared: 2/25 (exactly 4 weeks from mailing date)

Assuming another week or two for manufacture/mailing, looks like they are running around 5 weeks or so door to door (at least in my case).

it takes a while for your online status to be updated. they received my packet on Jan 6th but i didn't see a change in status until about the 11th IIRC.

UHG!!!!

The bad prints sent you back a month. I feel for you.

Hope it doesn't add another month. That's what sort of cheeses me a bit. In the other thread Cotton says that DPS doesn't NEED the prints in the first place. So if they're not needed, why have an 'accept/reject' criteria for them in the first place? They could collect the prints, but just say "yeah, those look like prints" and go on.

My packet was received in Austin the same day as yours. My fingerprints were good, but my background check is still under review. I don't think you lost any time. The background check should be complete any day now. That's my optimistic inner voice talking, I won't tell you what the pessimistic voice said.

My background took about 45 days. Not sure why, but this morning's status check shows that it is now being manufactured.

The background check hopefully shouldn't take too long for me, I don't even have a speeding ticket on my record.

thursday my status showed manufacturing pending, logged in this morning expecting to see the same but it shows mailed

[nyj]

On a Sunday? That's cool. Maybe it was mailed yesterday and got updated today.

[LivelyBanter]

Congrats! Hope mine isn't too far behind.

[macattac]
