Seriously, whoever designed that site needs to dragged out back and shot. The instructions were written by lawyers. The interface was designed by computer geeks who haven't seen sunlight in years. The whole process is just backwards. I am still trying to decipher what the hell an MU2 and MU4 is in plain english. Every other day I get some email from some other state that decided LOs need to take a test or 24 hours of courses. I spend more time trying to make sure I am compliant with all these stupid state laws than it is worth. Just shoot me already... The NMLS is a case study in fusterclucks.

They told me I needed to do that on the NMLS. NMLS showed me with a status of "transition requested" and instructed me to go back to DFI. When I went back to DFI, they told me they are still processing transfering LO's over (must be the background checks, etc) and are only doing those who applied on NMLS by October 1 or sooner. I told them I did that on October 1 and they told me that they show me as October 2. I'm probably going to forward them my confirmation today...I was so frustrated yesterday that I think I need to take a DFI/NMLS break! :) The NMLS site alone is enough to drive any normal person batty. There is no flow to the site. It bounces you all over the place with lengthy instructions of all the various places you must check through before you can complete anything.

This is an astronomically huge project. I wonder how the year end transition will go if it's like this now....Hmmm. Rhonda, why did DFI refer you to the NMLS?

First I contacted DFI, they sent me to NMLS which then referred me back to DFI... yadda yadda yadda. I felt like a ping-pong ball trying to register my 2008 CE credits.

There are a lot of bugs that still need to be worked out. It is a very complicated procedure requiring imput for LO's as well. So Rhonda is right. Start now and be patient because it will not be a smooth procedure this year.
