well, that doesn't appear to be the case so here i am passing the time away

let's see, IIRC:

online application 12/10
class 12/12
fingerprints 12/14
snail mailed 12/14 w/ official disposition documents for a huge screw-up by my county that's been a pain in my ass for over a decade now

aaaaaaaaand, so far nada

i called them on 1/26 to check on my wife's renewal that was taking forever and while they were on the phone i asked about mine. i was told that i'd gone to background check on Friday, which would have been 1/22

well i called again on 1/4 and was at that time told that they'd started processing my application on 1/29 and that it'd be another 40-60 days

and in the meantime i'm on year #12 of being federally licensed to sell people title i guns along with suppressors, machineguns, SBRs, et al. but can't legally carry a handgun on me

website change on 2/13, card on 2/16 for those of you keeping track of timelines

Dec. 12: CHL class
Dec. 16: Fingerprints, supporting documents sent.

No confirmation email as of now. Sigh, I have a feeling is going to be a looooooong 60 days...

How did you send documents, snail mail or email? If snail then you won't get a confirmation.

Hey berkleemuir! You still hanging in there? I know you are right before me & it's been a month now. Any knew news?

Aaaabsolutely freaking not. I just found out like last week (I forgot to post an update) that they needed a verification of employment from me, AND NO ONE BOTHERED TO SAY ANYTHING! I sent w photocopy of my badge thinking that would be enough, but of course not. I was told nothing had been started, processed...nada. I'm still in phase negative one. How about you?!

Total run around, conflicting information, lack of helpfulness, etc. My advice would be to be patient and don't waste your time calling into RDS more than once to make sure they have all documentation. It'll only frustrate you.

I spoke with Ashley today and she told me to allow about 90 days for applications submitted in late December (mine was submitted 12/21/15). She wouldn't give any more information than that.

I'm thinking your right. There is no pattern that I see. I would think that your time starts when they open your envelope with your CHL-100 in it. I would assume they have 100's of thousands of packets sitting somewhere and they are slowly chipping away at it. Possibly keeping them in chronological order as to what day they came in. I really don't see any other way of them doing it. I'm curious as to why they don't just automate the entire process. Do everything online and be done with it.

Mine Was complétely submitted online. But your idea that the timeline starts at submission of CHL100 is interesting. I was told when everything was in, I assumed that meant fingerprints too, but we'll see. Mine was 1/11 conf email for CHL100 & 1/15 on fingerprints.

I think I'll win...
RSD just confirmed that my license has been sent to printing.
I'll post an actual timeline once I have it in hand.
