Application Submitted January

Received Jan 17th

Charged Jun 29th

Still no online status, tells me to check again at a later date. Been on hold with them for about 3 hours today just to get hung up on every time. Any ideas on what I can do?

That is a wild time line. I held a PAL, wife had nothing.

I got her into a course in Sept 2021. Instructor told her to get me in for Oct 2021 restricted, and I talked her into getting into it as well.

We mailed our applications in Dec 30th (dropped into a postal box)

They charged Jan 19 2022, and we both had them by early April 2022. Oddly enough hers was approved before mine.
