Was that card date 10 years from the revoked card? Given the Covid rules you should be able to submit renewal and still be valid. Especially with new renewals happening much faster, it might not be long until physical card in hand.

And yet there are what, just 4 other states, that have something similar?

yeah...easily obtain and weak gun laws... /s

One of the many cases filed in state and federal courts over the states gun laws deals with the delay in FOID card applications being processed. The complaint was filed this summer in federal court by residents of the state alongside a couple of gun-rights groups and requests the court declare the delays violated the Second Amendment. It also asks the court to recognize its a violation of the defendant's Fourteenth Amendment due process rights. ISP has said theyre working through the backlog, but theres been an explosion of applications during the pandemic, but the delays and backlogs were around before the pandemic. The agency recently reported an average wait of 121 days and a backlog of 145,000 FOID cards. Illinois State Rifle Association Executive Director Richard Pearson said the latest filing in the case initiated this summer will be heard Tuesday requesting a judge order the state police to issue the FOID cards within the 30-day time limit as required by law. The delays are detrimental to peoples rights, Pearson said. They cant purchase a firearm, they cant purchase ammunition, Pearson said. Weve had calls they go in there with a letter, they say its not valid so they cant buy anything. Illinois State Police have said through emergency administrative rules they have made expired FOID cards valid during the renewal process. Pearson said thats not enough. If you show a firearm dealer an invalid FOID card with a nice note from the state police, they dont care, Pearson said. Pearson said he hopes the judge issues an injunction against ISP. It would mean that the state police have to get there and they have to issue these cards, Pearson said....

Afaik, that is correct. If lucky the board will review, override, and your app will move on. Or you may get many 30 day after 30 day after 30 day extension letters or as mentioned a denial and appeals. Are you in Cook County by chance?

New or renewals?
