It sounds like they’re speeding up. Already into the first week of February’s apps. Maybe I’ll get my card before my first 90-day checkup with my doc in late May after all! <Fingers Crossed>

Thank you everyone on here, I have been following this thread for the past 2 months, it is great to have support from all of you.

My timeline:
Innovative Express Care Dr visit 2/6
State received payment on 2/9
Emailed the State on 4/5 and they said it was still waiting to be processed.
Checking the mail daily!

I received this email today, no idea when i was actually approved:

Hey all,

So my Journey began On September 13, 2017 when my application was sent in. On Sept 15, 2017 my application was confirmed received via email. Fast forward to November 16th .... 63 Long days later and my check was finally cashed! Finally some positive news I suppose! I check the mail box on November 20th Monday and what do I find in the mail box? Can this be my card? Heck no! Got a letter stating that My picture Taken by the dispensary that I am going to use was to dark and to far away! I was a little furious to say the least! It also stated that my Drs certification needed to be resubmitted! I immediately called my Dr and got that set in motion! I then went to my local Cvs got a photograph taken and mailed off that night! I not only sent the letter back along with the new photograph but I also emailed them as well with the new picture! This Monday November 27th I recieved an email from ILDPH the actually person doing my application! They informed me that my photograph was good to go and that all they were wating on was that new certification letter and I was Approved! So now the wait game!
what email are you using to get these updates ?

If it’s at the SOS then that means it’s being printed. Within 2 weeks for you, most likely.

Application submitted 4/12/18
Email confirming submitted to IDPH 4/16/18
Payment taken 4/16/18

I'm expecting the card mid July based on the email, but they definitely didn't wait to take my money.

Used Innovative Express Care in Chicago for everything.

I feel you, we both submitted on 3/15 and they recieved on 3/19
 
I also called last week, and they said they have everything they need. I heard that people that are in southern illinois are getting their cards faster? any truth behind this?
