Hey guys, new here, I filed in early February. I read that people are getting theirs in no time now so I went to the local sheriff's department where I filed and sent an e-mail to ISP. The sheriff's dept. said it was pending and ISP just replied with a form letter.
I've got a question for you guys, though I'm not sure anyone will know the answer. While I may just have to accept that the time it takes to get a permit is just a random event, I'm still perplexed as to why my brother who went and applied with me did not get his permit in the same time I got mine. There is an odd situation I want to run by you. For a while, my wife and I lived with him. We now have our own place and when we put the mail forward in at the post office, they started forwarding ALL the mail from his house to our house. Even HIS mail. We are still working on fixing this. I wonder if the post office wouldn't forward the permit from ISP for some reason and sent it back to them. Does anyone know if the PO can be programmed to not forward certain types of mail? I know they will report an address change to anyone sending mail to the 'old' address. Any idea if this will seriously screw up his permit process?
Thanks,
Brian
So as some of you may know.. I got a email saying my app was being processed about two weeks ago after 8+ months. Today i get mail from them but not my permit. A refund of my 75$ cause I had paid twice. Still waiting...got my money back atleast...
I don't think that the P.O. looks at the type of mail when forwarding. It's probably all or nothing.
However, two license applications with the same last name and the same address might have caused a glitch with ISP. I've heard of a son being denied because he had the same first and last name as the dad (a "Junior) and dad had a criminal record. It doesn't take much to gum up the works.
You might check with your local PD and see if they will make an inquiry for you.
We applied from different addresses. Neither of us have any kind of record. I just hope the Post Office doesn't gum up the works for us. I can't imagine our two apps weren't right together...so why did I get mine already but not him?
i just paid my fees and got finger printed on monday. they said it would be a 6-8 month wait... bummer.
Here is a question - has anyone who got their faster had a recent background check outside of the LTCH process? For instance applying for a TWIC card, security clearance of some type, background check for a government job, etc? I wonder if there is a fresh background check on you in the system if it speeds up the process on the state police end....I got a twic card for which I had to be finger printed and background checked over the summer.
