Update... So I originally sent my paperwork in mid-August, I sent everything in I was told I needed. Well, it was sent back to me, requesting more info. Since I live in Richmond, instead of mailing, I hand delivered it to the DMV office. However, I had to leave it at the front desk and it was supposed to be routed to the correct office, that was September 1st. Since then I have been calling once or twice a week to try and confirm that my paperwork was received, I couldn't get the same answer twice, 'person is on vacation', 'it's on someone elses desk', 'computer system is down', etc..., but I couldn't get actually confirmation that my application had everthing it needed. I now have a list of phone numbers for different people that I had to contact to try and get a straight answer. I finally got in touch with someone that actually seemed sympathetic to my story and said that she would try to track down my application. She finally found it, and it appears that it was sitting in limbo for 3 weeks due to confusion between offices. After she reviewed it, I was told that I needed 1 other piece of info. I took that in last Thursday. Yesterday afternoon, I received a call from DMV letting me know that my paperwork was sent to the DMV inspector. Now I have to wait for the inspector to call and set up an appointment. I was told that could be 6-8 weeks. So much for driving it this year.
