That's good to know. I did the L1 process and turned in everything on Nov 7. That was three weeks ago today.*UPDATE*

Who are you guys calling? Wouldn't this be a different result for everyone that went to a different police station?

I was told 12 weeks today when I applied. I sure hope its only 3 weeks.
I also called today...completely different result. I applied online and did the fingerprint card at local PD on 8/6, and they mailed my app w/ money order to the ISP on 8/15. When I spoke with the lady today she confirmed they have my application, and it's in the "background" stage. She was able to tell me the last time my application was "opened" was 10/26 I do have one prior arrest, a misdemeanor nine years ago (in Indy). The timetable on which they operate is ridiculous....I could have gotten a Passport at least twice by now
Morris, did you do L1 fingerprinting?
Also, if anyone's curious, I asked if I could do L1 after already submitting the application with paper prints to speed up the process. I was told that I can do that if I pay the $10 L1 fee, and also pay the $30 state fee (4-year) again. One of the $30 state fees would be refunded after they get to my paper application and process the L1 prints. So I don't think it would really be worth it because they're still going to take a while to get to my original application since it was paper prints.
Anyone from Monroe County apply recently? Does it differ by county how long it takes? Also, is it faster to get a 4-year processed than lifetime? I mailed my application, fee and fingerprints on 10/25 (no L-1). MO was cashed on 10/29. So it's been about 4 1/2 weeks since that. I'm hoping it doesn't take 11 or 12 weeks like others have said. I didn't do L-1 because I was thinking I wouldn't be able to buy a handgun for a few months, but ended up getting one earlier than expected. Wishing I would've spent the $10 for L-1. Not even a speeding ticket on my record, so hopefully that helps it go faster. I think I'll call tomorrow to make sure it's moving along. It's hard to be patient!
UPDATE 11/30: I called ISP this morning and was told they are currently not even starting to process non-L1 applications for 13 weeks from the date the money order was cashed. But also that if your record is clean it goes really fast from that point. I was told sometime in January. That's a crazy long time. I still have hope it won't be that long since others recently have gotten even non-L1 applications processed in 7 or 8 weeks. We'll see.
