aka Posted January 18, 2020 at 08:23 PM Share Posted January 18, 2020 at 08:23 PM My FOID expired on 1/1/2020. I applied for the renewal on 10/5/2019. My status continues to be "Under Review". Never mind that I have a CCW and I am an instructor. Every attempt to contact ISP has been unsuccessful. Any idea whaT I can do to figure out what is going on? Thanks.

Craigcelia Posted January 18, 2020 at 08:39 PM Share Posted January 18, 2020 at 08:39 PM I talked to a ISP worker last week who said she believes the firearm service bureau is behind about 90 days now. The worker doesn't work in the FSB herself. She had trouble getting her own husband's FOID renewed on time. She also acknowledged they don't answer the phones and knows its a joke (we all know this already). Sent from my SM-G955U using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IronSam Posted January 20, 2020 at 04:41 PM Share Posted January 20, 2020 at 04:41 PM Expired CCL's under review are still valid as long as you start the renewal process prior to expiriation. Carry the renewal confirmation email with you as proof. It states as much on the document. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Missed a great deal on mail-order ammo because the retailer would not take an 'expired' FOID. This is a problem!! Guy came into a store I work at and asked us what he could do. He said I can’t buy anything. He’s been waiting since September of 2019 and he showed us a email from his state rep that said you’re just going to have to wait.
