Thanks Molly. Hey quick question? What's it like doing a change of address for the foid card?? Do I change address on my license first and then apply for change of address on the foid? And while that's happening can I still go to the gun range, purchase firearms? Or do I lose any privileges temporarily? Do they make me turn in my old foid or do I keep it?

No, those seem to be taking 6-8 mos but no guarantee of future results! Ok thank you. I'll keep you guys posted. Faxed and mailed records challenge appeal today 2/22/2021. Wish me luck guys.

After lots of research and work I got my foid card 7/23/2021! I had some possession cases and all were felonies. Case was dropped. Expunged. Foid card revocation appealed. I can't believe it!! Thanks guys! Thanks Molly B.

Hey what's up. No they were not I actually just filed expungement yesterday I'm all done. I didn't believe it mattered. Reason I say that back in 2009 same thing similiar case same opportunity to have case dismissed. This drug court option is only available once every 5 years to people with little to no criminal history or no convictions I belive not sure exactly but I qualified. Anyway after the 2009 posession charge was dropped I never expunged it and had applied for a foid like 2012 or 2013 or so and actually received it. Wierd. I think I saw what I must do in the forum somewhere.it said I need to ask for relief from prohibitor in the circuit court in my county. Then mail the courts ruling to isp asking for records change. So do I just go to the circuit court with a relief from prohibitor form and say here's form I would like my foid card rights back? Or do I get a form from the clerk when I'm at the court house? Gotta do a lotta research and hunting. I don't mind it's nothing pressing just bored been laid off work and figured I'll stay busy running around Chicago getting dispositions and rap sheets! Lol. I actually filed both petitions to expunge my self. I was at the Dailey center downtown yesterday pretty satisfying to complete on my own just gotta wait now.

Hey guys update on my appeal on revoked foid I filled a records challenge..bad news. I got a letter from isp "the record challenge form may mot be used for expungement purposes.. It says "provide us with information that is incorrect on your record" ie: wrong birth date wrong arrest date etc. O wasn't trying to expunge anything which is wierd. It's possible I took the wrong filling. To clarify I was arrested for possesion of controlled substance 2014 with no priors court ordered to rehab then I stayed at a sober living home for 5 years ish.been clean since 11.19.2014. Successfuly completed the courts demands and was offered court drug school a program that grants first time offenders to have the case dropped and eligible for expungement after successfully attending classes. I'm wondering what to do now? I filed the records challenge feeling that I cooperated with the courts, stayed clean and attended meetings and was not convicted that's my challenge I guess. I feel maybe I need to file the thing where three people say "hey this guys ok now and has been for a while and doesn't even drink" and have those notarized references submitted along with the other formm they require. Not exactly sure. Molly B if you have any ides I'd greatly appreciate it. Best regards, Rediguana.

Hey Molly thanks. On my way to mail that in with a signature of received thing and in another post I've seen you say to fax in my appeal as well as mail it so I'm going to fax it too. So are records challenge appeals also taking a year or more?

Hey guys thanks for all you do and thanks to everyone who makes this site possible. Molly B! Been reading the forum here since 2014 when my foid got revoked. I've always been intimidated by the appeal process but recently feel like I'm ready to give it a shot. I've got tons of questions and was wondering if you guys can help me? Got 3 charges from 2014 for pos of controlled substance. 2 felonys and 1 misdemeanor. All charges dropped and dismissed court ruled "nolle prosequi" for all all charges. Struggled with drugs and have been clean and sober no drinking no drugging no pot nothing.. working a 12 step program clean since 11-19-14. I've read many posts and learned in my case I must appeal to circuit Court in my county for them to restore my firearm rights then I must fill out records challenge paperwork? A lawyer I've been talking to had me get a certified copy of disposition so as to get a general sense of the matter. He said since all charges were dismissed my case will require an informal appeal and a nominal fee of $3500. Question #1 is this manageable on my own? Should I get a lawyer? Question #2 how do I appeal to circuit Court in my county if I'm to do this on my own? Thanks everyone
