Molly B. Posted February 2, 2021 at 03:13 AM Posted February 2, 2021 at 03:13 AM My FOID renewal officially turned 1years old today. It’s still sitting at “under review”. Has anyone here who applied for a renewal around this time last year gotten theirs yet? Starting to think it’s going to be another six months at least. Please send me a private message with your full legal name, date of birth, and FOID #.

Definitely contact Molly with the information she requested. My wife was in a similar boat, having applied for renewal in November 2019. After a year of "under review", Molly helped get things unplugged. It's as if whole batches of applications got dropped on a dusty desk somewhere and forgotten.

pythagorean0202 Posted February 3, 2021 at 02:03 PM Posted February 3, 2021 at 02:03 PM I applied for a FOID card on 6/28/2020. First time applicant. Never heard anything back. Status has always said "under review". I have contacted the ISP, congress people, the ISRA, and state representatives. Never heard anything back. Seems like our 2nd Amendment rights were basically canceled to be completely honest. Is there any prospect of actually being approved now?

acsewalk Posted February 3, 2021 at 03:13 PM Posted February 3, 2021 at 03:13 PM At this point I guess I am going to have to call and sit on hold all day to check on my wife's. All of these applications approved after hers makes me think someone took it home to "work from home" and left it there.
akrein62 Posted February 4, 2021 at 02:30 PM Posted February 4, 2021 at 02:30 PM I submitted my FOID application 9/25/20. Since I'm retired and have a little too much time on my hands, I've been checking my status status daily. Sometimes multiple times. Always comes up Under Review. What do they say about repeating a process and expecting a different result? I'm glad to see that some are getting their cards. I just wish mine would come through already, though it's "only" been 4 months. I guess I shouldn't expect miracles.
Aipon Posted February 4, 2021 at 05:33 PM Posted February 4, 2021 at 05:33 PM my wife applied 19Oct20 , and went active 7Jan21... not sure why they decided to expedite hers but i wont complain too much about it! Good for you, kind of unfair for others... mine is waiting since 28 june 2020.. still “under review”
st0mper Posted February 7, 2021 at 12:02 AM Posted February 7, 2021 at 12:02 AM Applied June 27th 2020 for new Foid and CCL (same time) Still under review- going on 225 days now!I've reached out to Representative Ann Williams AND Senator Sara Feigenholtz's offices a few times and got a couple of "send me your info and I will reach out to our contact at the ISP" with absolutely no results. I saw a few people on the reddit ILGuns suggest filing a complaint with the DoJ for a civil rights violation...got crickets with that as well! Super frustrating...
Atom Posted February 8, 2021 at 04:55 AM Posted February 8, 2021 at 04:55 AM Good for you, kind of unfair for others... mine is waiting since 28 june 2020.. still “under review”I'm in the same boat, waiting since June 28th. I checked half a year ago before the website "update" and using the old Inspect Element trick saw that I had at least been QC_Verified. I saw a post on r/ILGuns that a redditor was told over the phone that average wait times had been extended to 7.5 months from the reported 120, which puts the two of us almost at the average. Not sure if that's legitimate though.
tcstoner Posted February 8, 2021 at 08:11 PM Posted February 8, 2021 at 08:11 PM Initial FOID: Applied: 07/28/20Website active and showing issued: 12/30/20Card in hand: 02/08/21 It took over 6 months even with Mollys help.
lilguy Posted February 10, 2021 at 01:19 PM Posted February 10, 2021 at 01:19 PM My son is coming up on a year for renewal. Just received a letter from ISP Stating that his covid status makes the card valid with force of law, even though its just a directive from the ISP. So he needs to bring his expired card, his covid status printout on the web AND this letter stating how fd up the system is and they should sell him guns and ammo anyways. HaHaHa! Glad to see Illinois has a sense of humor.
InterestedBystander Posted February 10, 2021 at 04:14 PM Posted February 10, 2021 at 04:14 PM and they should sell him guns and ammo anyways.and yet from the FAQ My FOID card shows that it is expired, but these rules mean that it is still valid. I went to my local dealer and they refused to sell me ammunition and/or a firearm. Why? Dealers are required to check your FOID card before selling ammunition and/or a firearm. A dealer may decline to sell ammunition and/or a firearm if they so choose. Policies on this issue may vary from store to store. Federal regulations pertaining to the purchase of ammunition and firearms have not changed
FordV8 Posted February 11, 2021 at 02:12 AM Posted February 11, 2021 at 02:12 AM At 177 days now for first time application... My lease is up in two months. Really hope I receive it before I move. At 207 days today... Running out of time :{ Should I just be able to edit my address on the website if I run out of time? Also, is it common to find a CCL class that I can take without a FOID?

If the card has already been printed and mailed, you will need to complete the procedures for a "NAME/ADDRESS CHANGE Q. How do I change my name or address on the FOID Card?A. FOID Cardholders may request a name or address change to their FOID card by completing the request through the ISP Firearms Services Bureau website at www.ispfsb.com.

Chuckd Posted February 11, 2021 at 04:31 AM Posted February 11, 2021 at 04:31 AM Wife’s FOID Card application went active 1/5/21 It is now the 1/19/21 and it’s not in the mail yet? Should I be concerned?? FOID card finally arrived in the mail today. 35 days from going active to being in my mailbox. Thank you for the tip on signing up for informed delivery from the US Post office. That’s really great I sent you an email every day letting you know what’s coming in the mail advise everyone to do this.
lilguy Posted February 11, 2021 at 07:28 AM Posted February 11, 2021 at 07:28 AM Is close to a year and no renewal the norm now?
Bubbacs Posted February 11, 2021 at 11:44 AM Posted February 11, 2021 at 11:44 AM There is no normal anymore.Not here in Illinois Those in charge say you’ll get it when they get to itAnd you’ll like it, or be ready to be cancelled But yes unfortunately we have a huge issue with our rights as they “should” be in this state. We knew this years ago, we continue to know and see it each and every week.
Jeepin Bowhunter Posted February 16, 2021 at 05:03 AM Posted February 16, 2021 at 05:03 AM With all the snow, I sure hope the ISP can make it into work tomorrow to work on my application. I'm now at 225 days waiting on a replacement for a lost FOID card. Since I am over 100 days beyond the "average", I have a hard time believing that the average time for approval is 121.74 days.
onastring Posted February 17, 2021 at 12:51 PM Posted February 17, 2021 at 12:51 PM Today is the one year anniversary of applying for my FOID renewal and I'm still waiting. My CCL was to expire in Sept last year so I may have gone to the back of the line when I applied for that renewal. I called the ISP a few months ago and the person only mentioned my CCL renewal date. However, that person didn't sound too knowledgeable so who knows. Maybe I'll get my FOID an CCL by Christmas.
Russ S. Posted February 18, 2021 at 11:57 PM Posted February 18, 2021 at 11:57 PM FOID update: My foid card came in the mail today, 7months to the day after my renewal payment went through. Almost two months after approval (with help from Molly . Just made a donation to ISRA legal fund.
RotorDriven Posted February 21, 2021 at 08:19 PM Posted February 21, 2021 at 08:19 PM I applied for my FOID card on 5/31/20. It finally went active on 2/13/21 after 258 days and I received the card in the mail on 2/18/21. I had sent an email inquiry about the application on 1/22/21, but I didn't hear anything back from them, so I don't know if it had any bearing on the process.
Double P Posted February 25, 2021 at 09:25 PM Posted February 25, 2021 at 09:25 PM Applied for my foid renewal 3/16/20 and finally received my card today. What a joke. Sent from my SM-G973U using Tapatalk
Oil Cooper Posted February 26, 2021 at 04:49 PM Posted February 26, 2021 at 04:49 PM Just called an heard the recording say Foids are at 122 days, CCLs are at 158 days, average.
Molly B. Posted February 26, 2021 at 07:02 PM Posted February 26, 2021 at 07:02 PM New foid or renew?
lilguy Posted February 27, 2021 at 02:27 AM Posted February 27, 2021 at 02:27 AM MollyMy sons renewal is still under review. IT WILL BE ONE YEAR ON 3/5/21. This is criminal and I wish there were something we could do. I’d leave Illinois tomorrow if my wife gave a **** about gun rights, but she doesn’t. So after my having a card for 50 years the system has collapsed. My son just received a bull **** letter from the ISP stating that their directive has force of law and his expired FOID should be honored. HA! Some FFL are not falling for this slight of hand. Is there anything one can do to cut through the crap and get his new card? Thanks
ghost792 Posted March 1, 2021 at 06:18 PM Posted March 1, 2021 at 06:18 PM I just received my FOID renewal this weekend. 50 weeks since I applied (3/15/2020).
Jeepin Bowhunter Posted March 5, 2021 at 03:54 PM Posted March 5, 2021 at 03:54 PM Today marks 8 months waiting for a replacement for my lost FOID card. That's 243 days or double what the ISP says the average processing time is for a FOID application. Today is my birthday so I am hoping the ISP does something special for me and approves my card.
