LOL As a former government employee I loved all the "extra" days off! Now, it's driving me nuts! But at least your application is further along than mine. I am hoping to show up on the site tomorrow...maybe Wednesday? They still don't show it recieved yet. Sigh! :???:

The sad thing is that KNOWING they were closed today, I still checked the website several times today.

That is just crazy. How can any sane person do such a thing?

Wait... I just proved myself insane. Crap!

Then I'm really insane...I can't seem to stop checking it nights, weekends, holidays, doesn't matter. The wait and not knowing is just down right stressful! :blowup

Chuckle, chuckle...I remember when I was a CHL neophyte...just eight months ago! "rlol"

I just about wore my keyboard out. I would check at all times of the day and night...sometimes even four or five times an hour.

Wish there was a magic pill which would make you forget about it until it shows up in the mailbox...but it will be there before you know it.

I think they have it rigged so every time you check the status on the website, it delays it.... :reddevil

Well, a time frame for you guys:

Received in their office 12-21-11
Mailed to me 1-18-12

That's with three holidays so I bet yours will be here a lot quicker!

Yep, still waiting also, received on 12-1, and still "Under Review". Man I wish I'd have known at 20 what I know now, perhaps my wait would've been a little shorter. :ack: Guess that's the price you pay for bad decisions years ago. I guess that's what my dad meant when he said, "If you're going to dance, you've got to pay the fiddler." But who knew the US Govt would be the fiddler! :smilelol5:
