Call back multiple times in the same window (I called 3 times within 2 minutes for it to put me in the queue) and you may get through. That was how my experience was on about the 10th time calling. Sent mine late Nov. Received early Dec. CC charged late December. Approved and license issued Jan 9th or 10th. Received in the mail yesterday.
