themarine1976 Posted October 17, 2018 at 07:19 PM Share Posted October 17, 2018 at 07:19 PM Good afternoon,Name is Al, I have been reading most of the forms messages about revoked CCL due to FOID expirations. I am one of those that stupidly forgot to renew my FOID.I since renewed my FOID but my CCL has yet to be reinstated. My FOID was expired back on Aug 2, received my new Foid on Sep 9. I know i'm going to probably beat this horse to death but does anyone know how long the review is to get the CCL reinstated? or can I appeal in person. I know the ispfsb website says you can not appeal in person. any help would be appreciated. I have also called and spoken to I assume to the State Police on the 217-782-7980 line and was told it was under review and that a supervisor waslooking into it. Again any info would be appreciated.

Molly B. Posted October 17, 2018 at 08:06 PM Share Posted October 17, 2018 at 08:06 PM themarine1976:No, you cannot appeal in person. You did file an appeal though, right? It will be helpful to see how long they take to reinstate CCLs for you and Stevepk. Please keep us posted . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
themarine1976 Posted October 17, 2018 at 08:43 PM Author Share Posted October 17, 2018 at 08:43 PM Yes Molly,I did file for an appeal and like I said I been checking the website and have made several phone calls, but again the only thing everyone is telling me is that its under review and that a supervisor is checking on it. I have been calling in 2 week intervals to see if I get a different answer. I was also asked to send email too, which i have about 3 times too.

2A4Cook Posted October 17, 2018 at 11:24 PM Share Posted October 17, 2018 at 11:24 PM That's ridiculous. They should just issue a FOID and have a class system on the back, as they do with Driver's Licenses. Anything to make it more difficult, expensive and easy to screw up.

quantm1366 Posted January 22, 2019 at 06:29 PM Share Posted January 22, 2019 at 06:29 PM I am in the exact same boat and have been commenting/ following this other thread:http://illinoiscarry.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=69706&page=1 Have been waiting on my appeal since 9/10/2018 and not heard a word after several calls and VMs. I have not even gotten through to talk to someone. I don't know what to do at this point, is it a lost cause? Contact like a constitutional lawyer? lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blknite1976 Posted February 19, 2019 at 05:25 PM Share Posted February 19, 2019 at 05:25 PM Hi all, I've got the same issue. My FOID expired in August of 2018 and I renewed it the same day I got the letter. I also appealed my CCL revocation the day I saw that my FOID was valid again. I received my new FOID on September 9th but my CCL still says Appeal Under Review. Any idea how long this should take? Do I have any other recourse besides calling and emailing since I get no response? Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sheridan Posted February 20, 2019 at 01:49 AM Share Posted February 20, 2019 at 01:49 AM Another in the same boat. FOID expired end of October. Got the threatening letter in late November. Immediately renewed the FOID. FOID became active late December. Appealed online at that time. CCL has been in "Appeal Under Review" status since then. Would be nice if the original people in this thread could give us an update on their situation. Trying to contact the ISP seems hopeless. It seems this could go on for months, or even years, given the work ethic (or lack thereof) of the ISP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Retired1 Posted February 22, 2019 at 03:20 PM Share Posted February 22, 2019 at 03:20 PM This was posted on Facebook by a Firearms dealer/CCL instructor. The person who had the CCL Revoked because of the Expired FOID, would have to make the call!!!

Contact ISP firearms division by phone and request the CCL to be re-activated.*** If you do submit an appeal request of your CCL through the "CCL Appeals process" it will have to go through the entire process! It may take up to several months.*** I have just been made aware of this issue and want to get the word out. Please like and share! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My letter was from the last week of Nov. There is a big difference between "revoked" and "suspended". I hope they have changed the terminology going forward, as it was very misleading.

That would likely save them a lot of work oh and actually make some sense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blknite1976 Posted February 25, 2019 at 07:46 PM Share Posted February 25, 2019 at 07:46 PM Mine is the same way. It just says Appeal Under Review with the application number on the dashboard. You would think they would do something to streamline or fast track these but I guess not. It's extremely frustrating. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gregarious1 Posted March 2, 2019 at 03:29 AM Share Posted March 2, 2019 at 03:29 AM Another in the same boat here. FOID was renewed in early November and CCL has been in the "Appeal Under Review" status for almost 4 months now. Based upon what I have read in this thread it may be key to get in touch with the ISP via phone, though I have tried this on three different occasions now, months apart using the 217-782-7980 telephone number. I always get the instructions regarding leaving a message and then a message that the mailbox is full preventing a message from being left. Attempting to reach someone on another extension results in the "higher than normal call volume" message. [Normal must be zero]. Wondering if anyone has had success in making contact via other vectors. . . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
quantm1366 Posted April 21, 2019 at 11:37 PM Share Posted April 21, 2019 at 11:37 PM Still in the same boat, zero progress, zero luck getting through on the phone. Almost 7 months and counting.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blknite1976 Posted May 3, 2019 at 06:27 PM Share Posted May 3, 2019 at 06:27 PM Still nothing for me. I'm about to go into the 8th month of this with no movement whatsoever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wonder what would happen if I retook the course. Probably would be rejected because of previous revocation. . . not that I really have 16 hours of spare time either.

Molly B. Posted June 26, 2019 at 08:39 PM Share Posted June 26, 2019 at 08:39 PM Update from ISP, this is encouraging. When a CCL is revoked due to FOID expiring, the licensee will receive a letter to request a REVIEW instead of filing an APPEAL. (see attached form). I suggest to those whose CCL was revoked due to FOID expiring and have not received their CCL yet - to fill out this form and send it in. it might help . . . .?

Sheridan Posted June 26, 2019 at 10:31 PM Share Posted June 26, 2019 at 10:31 PM Thanks for the info. I mailed in the form and will report back here if there is any progress. Almost 6 months now since my new FOID was issued and appeal filed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
