ISP page had a link to send an email inquiry. It had all of the information marked that they would need to check on the permit status. Within 20 minutes after sending the email I got a reply from them saying they just reviewed and approved it, and to expect it in the mail within 3 to 5...
Thanks for the suggestion. I will call ISP and see if they can tell me anything. I expected approval to go really fast since I haven't had so much as a speeding ticket in 40 years.
I applied before Thanksgiving, online shows all fees paid as of 11/21/2015... It's now 1/19/2016 - still waiting and online still shows 'Pending ISP Approval'.
