    I'm 8/15 Accepted.

    Hopefully this will will start on applications for this date.

    My 77R is pending my permit #.
    How is your 77r pending your permit #? HGP doesn’t automatically get you an HQL, it should. HGP doesn’t let you buy a gun, unless that changed and I missed it.

    Anyone else get a letter from Information Technology and Communication Division. Stating that the criminal history record check was completed? I'm only guessing this was part of the background check.

    Looks like that investigator assigned held it up. Does everybody get an investigator assigned?

    I thought I would start keeping track of the start date when the MSP starts working on approving applications for a particular "acceptance date". Remember the MSP approves many applications that don't show up on this forum, the change could happen at anytime on the date reported and I will ignore the occasional outlier so I will post the date when we see several reports and post the next start date when we get several reports from the next day. Over time you should be able to better estimate how long it will take to get to approving your particular acceptance date.

    8/1 started 9/14 @ 7:07 PM
    8/2 started 9/16 @ 11:06 PM
    8/3 started 9/19 @ 3:30 PM
    8/4 started 9/22 @ 12:40 PM
    8/5 started 9/26 @ 2:00 PM
    8/6 started
    8/7 started

    So approximately 4 days of acceptance took 12-13 days to issue approvals.

    So for a rough estimate of when you might see your approval, count the number of days between the acceptance date they are currently approving and the acceptance date of your application and multiply the number of days by 3 and that will be the number of days until you will see the approval +/-.

    For example they are currently working on 8/5 acceptances so if your accepted date is 8/20 then it would be 15 days times 3 equals 45 days until approval. So from today those with acceptance dates of 8/20 can expect their approval on or about November 10th, assuming nothing changes.
    15 days X 3 = 45 days before approval.
    9-12 like mine is going well over 90 days then

    No reason to think it was held up. I was accepted on 8/5. They are now processing 8/5s. And, yes, almost certainly everyone gets an investigator assigned, although apparently not everyone gets notified of it.

    Correct. Looks like unless MSP gets some serious help , provided that formula holds true, anyone with an application acceptance date beyond 9/4 is looking to be more than 90 days.
