Thats why i am so confused. Ive heard the same thing a couple of times. I don't know if it is because I submitted the paper copy directly to the HQ in BR that it is taking long. I also have no way to check my application status. I probably should have just done the application electronically.
Does anyone have a recent timeframe for new application turnaround? I am on day 50 and curious know when my permit may be arriving. Submitted by paper copy, with the electronic prints the same day, directly to HQ in BR.
