I read on another thread that DPS has done away with online status changes. One thing that I did notice when I checked one day there were links to change adress, report lost card etc that were not there before. I believe that's the sign it's close.

From looking at the October, November and December "waiting" treads, it looks like the average wait time until your status changes on the website is from 18 to 19 days from the time everything is submitted. Well today is 19 days from the day that I got everything submitted and I checked t...
