Looks like they are still taking 2-3 business days to process each physical day received.

Congrats to those who received theirs today!

Not a bad time for non-L1

With a backlog of 45,000 it's no wonder.

Where did you get that info? Does that mean they're getting so many that for every day that goes by, they get 2-3 days farther behind?

 

[horsehaulin]

This is only non L1, it has been taking them around 3-5 days in the past to process a single days worth of received apps. But as time has gone on and the number of apps have dwindle, the time has gotten shorter.

My money order was cashed January 23rd.
License issued June 5th.
License received June 8th.

DrewM's money order was cashed two weeks after mine, and was issued almost a month behind me. I have no source that proves this is how it is working, but my experience on this board watching this thread since I filed for mine and even after receiving have shown me this trend.

WOW!!!!
Clean record. Former LTCH that was never renewed a few years ago.
Submitted application online April 16th did L1 prints the next day.
Lifetime LTCH issued 7-9-13. Received 7-12-13.
A few days shy of 3 months. Pretty good I would say.

Yep, that's about normal.

Something is wrong (but you knew that). There have not been any 8 month wait times with a clean record.

I'd seek help from your local LEO.

Paper or plastic ?

Ft. Wayne has been notoriously slow.

7.5 months and still waiting with no response to a single inquiry

 

[MMcarriesaSR9c]

Finally received the little pink slip of paper on Friday. Here are the details:
Applied 1/28/2013 L1 paid CC online.
Fishers PD same day paid by check. Check cashed 1/31/2013.
Contact with Fisher PD who contacted the ISP for me and ISP indicated that the FBI was looking into my background (Bad boy pile).
23.5 weeks later I guess I am a good boy now.
Issued 7/10/2013 and received 7/12/2013.

Carried the new Springfield XDs 9MM (Bi-tone) all weekend. Just glad to know that I have it if it is needed.

Good luck to those of you who are still waiting. Long process, but feels great once it is in your hands.

BTW, laminated and three copies for $2.27 at Staples on 96th Street in Fishers.
