I mailed my packet in on April 18 and was updated yesterday, May 19, to background check under review. Looks like they are moving along pretty well recently :anamatedbanana

Since DPS hired extra help its cut the update time in half. When I mailed off my packet it took over 2 months to get my first update. Glad they finally got smart and hired help.

It appears that if you upload online you save a significant amount of time.

Congrats and hopefully it will be all green soon.

I didn't even know one could upload the docs online. What about photos?

You don't need photos. They can use the one from your DL.

New to the forum, have been watching for a while. Great info and discussion!

One more data point:

Online Application Submitted: 4/13
Fingerprints: 4/16
CHL Class: 4/20
Packet Mailed: 4/22
Status updated to In Progress: 5/23

Online Status:

Application : Received
Fingerprints : Complete
Affidavits : Received
DL or ID : Valid
Citizenship : No documentation required
Passport photo holder : Under review
Photo : Received
<Huh??>Proof of Classroom training : Not received, notice sent to applicant</Huh??> :headscratch
<Huh??>Proof of Proficiency training : Not received, notice sent to applicant</Huh??> :headscratch

DRAT!! I was pretty $%^& sure that I included my class cert in my packet; not sure what happened there. Good news is that I kept a copy and can provide it via the upload system. Helpful lady on the phone at DPS even gave me my _future_ CHL number to use for the upload.
