InterestedBystander Posted November 30, 2020 at 11:41 PM Share Posted November 30, 2020 at 11:41 PM (edited) Finally got on the new ISP site to check Wife's FOID renewal status.Sent renewal in 4-14-20, still shows under review. This is beyond aggravating.............TWell the renewal card application should still be good for up to 18 months post Covid declaration end although some stores policies do not recognize. They are processing new apps ahead of renewals so thats adding time to get processed and physical card. Patience...

I reapplied 9 months ago and officially expired 6 months ago. I’m under COVID -19 rules but that doesn’t help me any if I try to purchase things, especially at a big box type store.

They need to sort, batch then deliver cards (or get picked up) to USPS. And then you get the fun of USPS delivering to right address in a timely manner. Check out informed delivery at USPS.

No explanation was given, but given the speed of the response from the individuals involved, I have a suspicion it was just lost in somebody's inbox somewhere and thus overlooked. Edit to add: I assume they don't have a way to alert someone to "Under Review" applications in date order, oldest applications first. This is desperately needed.

Molly B. Posted December 8, 2020 at 04:18 PM Share Posted December 8, 2020 at 04:18 PM I have no confirmation of my supposition but I think sometimes an application or renewal gets hung up in the computer system and does not actually enter the cue to be reviewed. Once ISP is alerted to a FOID renewal taking more than even the extended time period, as in this case over a year, maybe it can be manually moved into cue. I am guessing here.

bbkchicago Posted December 9, 2020 at 07:31 AM Share Posted December 9, 2020 at 07:31 AM (edited) I helped a friend fill out his FOID application (new, not renewal). 4 months as of today he's been waiting.

Jwolf Posted December 9, 2020 at 03:13 PM Share Posted December 9, 2020 at 03:13 PM I tried to log on the ISP Website to renew my FOID card and couldn't log on. I tried 3 times and get the same message; "Can not log on at this time. Check your info to make sure it is correct and try again." I made 3 attempts with no success.
