I was wondering how long it takes before the online status gets updated. I have a renewal this year, got my notice letter from DPS and did the online application. The checklist said all that I needed was the CHL-100. After taking the renewal class, I mailed my form (along with the bar-coded checklist) to DPS on May 20th.
When I checked my status today it said that the online application was done and that they were waiting on the additional requested materials.
Am I worrying needlessly or should this have been updated two weeks after mailing?

Re: Average time between Mailing & online update
Well....
Last time mine showed up 45 days later and a day after they updated the status. this time I emailed the pack to them may 26th or so and then sent USPS this week as a back up.
Willing to bet the plastic comes before they update.
