capnbill Posted January 16, 2020 at 04:04 PM Share Posted January 16, 2020 at 04:04 PM FOID expired January 1, 2020; Renewed October 9, 2019, still “Under Review”: have submitted Online FOID Inquiry; sent two emails… no response; “Customer Non-Service” phone is useless, unless you just want to hear a recording of … “We are experiencing a larger number of calls, please try later. Goodbye.” Based upon the 1- week each vacations for Thanksgiving, Christmas and New Year’s, I guess I have another week until I hit 60 ISP Business Days.

My wifes was also renewed the same day. Her card was received the week before New Years Day. Mine has been QC verified since end of December. I was told mine still has 2 weeks on the call about Jan 3. Guessing a week per holiday must be the excuse.

Sent from my SM-G950U using Tapatalk Just called again and spoke to a person informing them of mine being QC verified for a month now, and people who renewed theirs on October 16 and received their card. I was informed that it should be approved within a couple of days. He verified that there was not an issue or I would have been notified. Countdown for 2 days starting now.

mauserme Posted February 1, 2020 at 12:10 AM Share Posted February 1, 2020 at 12:10 AM 60 business days since I applied for renewal was today and my status is still Under Review.Part of the problem is that they accept renewal applications 90 calendar days out, but are held to a 60 business day issuance standard. I applied for renewal the first day I was able to - 11/3/2019. Taking out weekends, one day for Veterans Day, Christmas Day, New Year's Day, & Martin Luther King Day, and two days for Thanksgiving, I'm currently on business day 59 but calendar day 89. Like you my FOID card shows a 2/1/2020 expiration date so, even though I got in a last minute purchase, I won't be able to take it the range for awhile.

Like you my FOID card shows a 2/1/2020 expiration date so, even though I got in a last minute purchase, I won't be able to take it the range for awhile. Just noticed this was a FOID renewal discussion, but my point is still valid.There is no reason for a FOID or CCL renewal to take this long... ISP has and is able to process and issue FOID and CCL renewals in fewer than 60 days.Mine CCL renewal took 21 days from submitted online to new card in hand. CCL RenewalFinal Update: 21 Days 03-20-19 Expiration Date 11-20-18 Renew Button Available11-21-18 Renewal SubmittedPrints Submitted With Original Application12-05-18 "APPROVED">Under Review12-06-18 "ACTIVE">ACTIVE12-12-18 Received New Card I contend they are not held to a 60 business day issuance standard... how could my CCL renewal have taken only 21 days if they were? There is absolutely no reason for most FOID and CCL renewals to take as long as so many have.It is either lack of funding for staff or pure political meanness which delays the issuance of so many licenses and license renewals. I have in the past, been a victim of ridiculous delay... my CCL and FOID were stolen in January of 2017. It took more than 45 days to issue new cards. This was, and is, completely unacceptable.

capnbill Posted February 4, 2020 at 05:29 PM Share Posted February 4, 2020 at 05:29 PM FINALLY!!! Now, the snail mail wait begins. FOID Renewed: October 9, 2019FOID expired: January 1, 2020FOID Active: February 4, 2020 Calendar Days: 118Business Days: 77 (Seven Holidays) I had submitted the Online FOID Inquiry; sent two emails (requested mail receipt/read notification)… no response. Hundreds of attempts on the “Customer Non-Service” phone (217-782-7980), which is basically useless, unless you just want to hear a recording of … “We are experiencing a larger number of calls, please try later. Goodbye.” Surprisingly, on January 23, 2020 I actually received a second recorded message… “All lines are busy; please hold for the next representative.” Half hour wait time and a live person came online; verified that it was QC Verified and noted that there were five holidays during my Review period (guess I missed a few); And, no idea what an expected approval timeframe would be. Holidays: Columbus Day, Veterans Day, Thanksgiving, Christmas Eve, Christmas Day, New Year’s Day, Martin Luther King Day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cutekids3 Posted February 21, 2020 at 09:53 PM Share Posted February 21, 2020 at 09:53 PM Well finally! Applied two months before my FOID expiration date as instructed, (02-01-20) and just visited the FOID web site and saw that I have been renewed and listed as Active! Now just hope I don't have to wait too long to get my new card in the mail. Just an update on my renewal wait. Endeavor to persevere! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EdDinIL Posted April 2, 2020 at 05:45 PM Share Posted April 2, 2020 at 05:45 PM Wife's FOID is pretty much the same as oldguy's. Renewed in November, expired 2/1/2020, still "Under Review". As a bonus, it's also showing as DENIED in the Private Transfer check. Bet oldguy's does, too. http://illinoiscarry.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=74377 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
