Congrats, but 92 days is a little misleading. You didn't take your class until 2 weeks after you started your online application. Typically your timeline starts once all required items have been submitted which in your case would be around 78 days which is why I assume you are posting in the March applications thread instead of the February applications thread. Not being critical, just trying to keep apples to apples for other people trying to gage timeline trends.
I see what you mean, but it was in fact around three months or 91 days (I had a typo) according to daycalc.appspot.com/03/08/2014 (a handy little tool for anyone wanting to calculate their number of days, replace my date with yours), and I submitted all paperwork online after I got back from my CHL class on March 8th. I'm not sure why my application took a while, but for other applicants, my timeline is not representative of what you should expect. Sorry for the confusion, jmra.
My mistake - you were good. The Feb 22 date on a previous post threw me. :tiphat:

OP chiming in here with an update. CHL received in the mail 6/19.

2 months 15 days (76 days) from mailbox to mailbox.

I remember having a CHL mid 2000's and the material that they used for the card seems different than what's being used now. it used to feel thicker, sturdier...now it feels thinner and cheaper??? maybe some of you veteran CHL holders can confirm.

I was surprised at how flimsy feeling it was. I figured it would feel like my drivers license. You better believe I baby it, can't have it deteriorating on me!

...so this is odd. I just checked my status online and instead of the usual "online application submitted. waiting for additional documentation" message (I'm paraphrasing) I just get a page that says "what application would you like to complete" and the only thing I can select is the CHL instructor. It was these before as well but now all my CHL status info is gone. Does this mean I got completely processed before the website updated or does it mean something got messed up and they lost everything?
