(Yes, I've posted in the February 2014 thread. This is to track the husband's CHL application. He's jealous of my mine!)

10/03/13 CHL class taken
03/30/14 Online application completed
04/07/14 Fingerprints done
04/08/14 Paperwork mailed
04/10/14 Paperwork received

I told him to check the site after 40 days, to start looking for an update. He wanted the paperwork mailed because he was worried about the possibility of them being unable to open the file and them just sitting on the application. (I share everything I read on here with him.)

Now the wait. :-)
Right about 45 days or so for the first update.

I received the document upload confirmation on April 2nd. As of today, still not status update :???:

Probably due to being a green card holder?

Very nice. I asked in the May thread when the clock start. When the app if started online, or when the final docs are uploaded... You were 26 days from final doc upload. But 38 days from application submission. Either was good compared to previous months.

Maybe, maybe not. From what I've read here, that might slow you down on the background check. They are very backlogged, and there's no ryhme or reason to how they seem to process applications.

Its day 51 and I finally received my first update. Now the part I’m not fully understand is the “Proof of Special Condition”. Now I did put in for the Correctional officer discount and I did put down on my application that I did retire from the US Navy, however I did not send them my DD214, but I did send them proof my current employment.

I'd call now and find out what the 'special condition ' is to get a jump on sending them whatever they want. My guess is it's the DD-214 they are looking for.

Shortly after I posted this, I made the call to them and it appears that all of my paperwork was not forwarded, as stated in one of the emails they sent me on day one, so she went ahead and found it and sent it to the proper person for them to add to my packet. The document was my proof of current employment.
