Some approvals today were accepted 8/8 and 8/15 but had submission date of 8/1. Just speculating…

8/1 submission and 8/9 accepted and Nics. Nada so far.

8/1 submission and 8/9 accepted and Nics. Nada so far.

8/2 submission and 8/9 accepted for me. Nothing. My father in law has same dates as me and was approved yesterday. These last few days have thrown out everything we thought we knew about their approval process. No idea what they are doing now.

I have a day counter set up… no movement since “accepted”.

Yep, anyone could send in any picture.

MSP can view your MVA picture to make sure it’s you

Wonder how other states verify pictures

Guess if your DL photo is different you’re in trouble

I have more beard now than I do in the DL photo. Hope that doesn't fool them.

Just got my response....APPROVED!!! As other's have said - I never thought this day would come in MD (at least not an unrestricted permit).

Dang.. I subbed on aug12th and still don’t have NICS. It was accepted but that’s it. Guess I’m in the group that’s stuck lol

 

[WhiskeyHelps]

Any 8/16, or 8/17 have any movement yet

There's a sign outside of MSP HQ that says:

Your Permit Will Arrive Tomorrow

The sign is always up, and it always says tomorrow.

Apologies to Paul Harvey

Does anybody else NEVER get emails, and now that we have seen approvals come hot and heavy for several different acceptance dates, and now are getting a bunch of stupid emails all of sudden? Every time my phone goes off I get excited and then open the email and its some stupid marketing email.

accepted date is the only date that matters, not submitted. Count on 45 days at least. whats your accepted date. Go to the MSP site for your HGP and click on "print application" tab to check for nics update. when its ready it will show top left. it wont show on your status bar.

42 days since accepted. I have been looking at the actual application No NICS number, just the date it was accepted… (Aug 18th)

I’m in the same boat… accepted 8/17.. 43 days and no movement

It seems they have switched to submitted date with the order if you look at the past day and a half of approvals.

Does anyone else have a mailing address different than their physical address? I have my mail delivered to a PO Box but had to list my physical address in my application.

I'm anxious that, if approved, MSP will automatically mail my card to my physical address and it will be returned to sender. I don't see an option in my account to update my mailing address.

MVA does claim to have my mailing address on file but I'm not sure MSP would use their database.

Any way to see how many they go through per day? Is this a 9-5 m-f type thing or them working every day on these? The lack of details coming from MSP is driving me crazy.

 

[bjmsam]

Look at the dates and times that have been posted obviously 24/7.

The 8/1 accepted dates will be 60 days soon. Maybe they did change tactics a bit to keep from getting too close to 90 days
