Thanks, going to call tomorrow as they were closed by the time I called tonight. Will update as I know how much these types of posts helped make the wait somewhat easier

What do you mean nothing has changed online?

Is there somewhere I can go to see current status??

From my understanding it changes from “initial processing completed, it is now in progress” to something along the lines of “license issued” and then 2 weeks after that it shows up in the mail. I could be wrong.

I never started checking the status online until my card was charged on 4/22 so I’ve never actually seen the status change.

I just got off the phone with them. No actual explanation as to wtf is taking so long but all she said was “oh we’ve just scanned your photo in today, so it’s a little behind” and told me to call back in if I haven’t received my Rpal in a MONTH.... starting to get frustrated but back to waiting for me.

I called them this morning as well. She said there is nothing missing or no additional information they need from me. Just to give them more time.

Good luck man, hopefully we don't have to wait too much longer! I had no problem being patient for the first 5 months but once my card got charged I've been itching to go plinking at my buddies place.
