Hello everyone. Just wondering if anyone else is currently in the appeals process for a FOID card? In a few days it will be 5 months for me. It has been a LONG time since I had a FOID card, I know the wait for an appeal can be quite long, just curious to know how everyone else is doing.

I'm having problems with ISP, of course. In June a temporary order of protection was taken out against me by an individual who has been harassing my family and directly prior to filing this order was arrested for battering my spouse. My FOID and CLL were subsequently made invalid. I went to hearing with an attorney and won in the hearing as the claims being made against me were false. The court issued an order dismissing the OP. The new court order releasing me from the OP states that it has been dismissed because there was no evidence. On July 3rd I filled my appeal with ISPFSB. One July 8th my FOID was reissued. Ive spoken to customer service many times, and some have said that they would make inquiries about it how ever Ive been told there is no time frame for this sort of thing and it seems my appeal is taking a long time. Is their any one I can contact to get this mess sorted out?

Came across this forum and was wondering what the wait for an appeal might take? I had my FOID revoked about 2 and half years ago due too a felony case ( Theft ) pending ended up this year finishing probation and having my conviction expunged at the termination of my probation. Sent the court given documents along with the petition and wavier few weeks ago. Just wanted to see how long the turn around might be as I may not be in IL within a year and would figure it would be a lot easier whe I move to my new state knowing my conviction is gone rather than apply and get denied there.

My foid card was revoked back in September of 2016 for a misdemeanor battery charge. I received 6 months court supervision so there was actually no conviction. My supervision ended in January of 2017. I sent all my appeal paperwork in back in March of this year and it is now October and my foid card is still revoked. Is there any reason theyre dragging their feet about it and is there anything else I can do to speed up the process? I sent them the disposition papers of my court supervision along with all of the required paperwork. I am an avid hunter and this will be my second hunting season I will be missing. Any and all help is appreciated. Thanks
Did you submit the request for FOID appeal and the waiver for investigation

Yes all the required paperwork was submitted back in March. I haven’t heard from them and any time I check it still says revoked. I usually call there once every week or so and they just say they are still working on it.
sounds like you've done all the right stuff. Please send me a private message with your full legal name, date of birth, and your FOID card number and I will submit an inquiry to see if we can find out what's going on.

Heads up, my CCL went active this afternoon, anyone know the typical turn around on my card? Feels good to have my rights restored, I gotta say. Thanks Molly B. for the help.
On a side note, a weird thing went on with my ISP porthole today before my cards went active. I logged on this morning and saw that my status went from APPEAL UNDER REVIEW to UNDER BOARD REVIEW. It was allso was asking for me to respond and gave a description of an objection that was over turned when I was first issued my card back in 2016. I attempted to contact ISP at about 2 pm to no avail. I called back a hour or so later, and after a 30 min wait I got through to an operator and told her about the issue. She looked me up and asked if I would stay on hold while she spoke with her supervisor. After she returned to the line, she informed me that my appeal had moved out of the appeals department and would be made active some time in the near future unless it had to go to some other person for an additional approval. I thanked her and returned to my ISP porthole to find that my status was now under review. I just looked at my web porthole to see if anything might have change in the past few hours, and sure enough if find it to say ACTIVE.

When you file your appeal I think it automatically changes. Did you already submit an appeal request? It should be located somewhere near where it says revoked. Also on the ISP FSB web page is has a section on the frequently asked questions page about the types of appeal processes.

Im not sure unless your appeal was denied, I know I went thru the appeal process for my FOID in August. In my instance my foid had been revoke for little over a month before the issue was corrected. After I submitted the correct paper work my FOID was made active about five days after my appeal was made. Im not sure of your situation, but you can always call ISP hit 0 and wait to speak to someone. You could be on hold for an hour. When someone does answer the phone, ask them what the status of your application is and just see what information you can get out of them. Be aware though they can be very selective with what they tell you. Alot of times they give you a short answer or some thingkind of vague and also you most likely wont give you any sort of time frame.

I am having issues with the ISP and getting my foid card back. I am currently 21 years old, I had my foid card as a minor and my father was my sponsor. A temporary order of protection was put on my sponsor when I was 18, because of this his foid was suspended or revoked. Since he was my sponsor, my foid was revoked. I was never notified personally of any revocation and held on to my card. I turned 21 and tried to purchase a firearm and was denied. I contacted the ISP and they told me my card was actually revoked because your sponsors card was revoked. I turned in my card to the local law enforcement agency in town and I sent in the appeals paperwork stating what happened in October 2017 and have heard nothing back. I am a military service member in the IL Army National Guard and an emt as a civilian. I think it is ridiculous how I can serve in the military but not own a firearm in the state of illinois. Can anyone offer me any advice on how to speed up this appeals process or is there anything I can do to get my second amendment rights back? I am trying to start a career in law enforcement or fire service and it is very hard to do with a revoked foid card.

Please send me PM with your full legal name, date of birth, DL number - and your FOID number, if you remember what it is.
Is your address still the same? If not, please include your current address.

My Foid card was revoked due to getting pulled over for a DUI. I was never convicted for a DUI I was charged with reckless driving seeing how this was my 1st offense and i was just over the legal limit. I was giving court supervision for 1 year, towards the end of the supervision I was advised i had turn over my FOID card which I did. I was then told after my supervision was over which it currently is that I can appeal the decision, but on the appeal form it asks for my FOID # which i don't know. Any suggestions as to how i can get my card number so I can start the appeal process? Thanks in advance.
Wow, so foid cards are being revoked for being charged with reckless driving too, am I reading this right?

Pled guilty to misdemeanor dui in Oct of 2014. FOID was revoked I assume from being placed on probation?? My 2 years of probation were up Sept of 2016. I finally figured out what paperwork needed to be submitted earlier this year(after contacting gov office). Sent my appeals packet off in late January 2018. ISP FOID phone number has a voice mailbox that is full and you can't leave a message. The link for the FOID inquiry has an error and you can't send email or message. I know this stuff takes time to process but it would be nice to actually know they received my packet. Trying to get on with dept of corrections and received a letter this afternoon stating I am ineligible for hire due to my FOID revocation. Super p***** off. Deployments to Iraq and Afghanistan along with a criminal justice associate degree and yet I can't get hired because of a bull**** revoked FOID. Super frustating. Does anyone have a number to get a few answers from ISP? I have contacted the gov's office and my state senator for help as well. Thanks for any responses.

Hello Molly,
My FOID was revoked after I filed an address change. The reason of my revocation was " 430 ILCS 65/8 (i-5) An alien who has been admitted to the United States under a non-immigrant visa" because I have a H-1B visa. "
However, under the 430 ILCS 65/8 (i-5) there are five exceptions. One of them states that this subsection (i-5) does not apply to any alien who has been lawfully admitted to the United States under a non-immigrant visa if the alien is:
[18 U.S.C. 922(g)(5)(B ) and 922(y)(2); 27 CFR 478.11 and 478.32]

I got a FOID revoked on a misdemeanor charge that I only received supervision for. This last April I successfully had it expunged. So my question is if its expunged should i file for relief from the supervision that that was revoked or should I file a challenge to the record as they have no reason to deny me something that legally speaking didn't happen? It's pretty confusing and I'm trying to avoid having my appeal stuck floating around for half a year. Should I just get a Lawyer?

I suggest doing the Records Correction appeal.

Hi,
My brother referred me to this site because I have had a very long wait to get my FOID. I applied at the end of January, and still have not received my card. When I log into the ISPFSB site, it shows I'm active as of February. I have read that it is taking the dept. an unusually long time to issue cards,so have very patiently waited, but it's going on 7 months now. This is my first application, I have a squeaky clean record, no mental health issues. Is there any way to check if a card was sent out, or what the issue is? I have called many times, but always get the automated message. I was told to contact Molly B. here.
Thank you.

That is unusual. You should have received it within a few weeks after going active. If you will send me a private message with your full legal name and Foid number, we can submit an inquiry.
