@impatientbutwaiting, I'm waiting. Should be a few more weeks. I'm new to all of this, so in the meantime I'm doing my research.

I'm so glad I found this thread! I'm still waiting for my card.
I went through Innovative Express Care and my check was cashed by IDPH on April 25th so that puts me at the 60 day mark. I was warned it would take at least 3 months for the state to process my card so I was prepared for a long dark silent period. I'm interested to hear from anyone who has filed around the same time and if you are in the same boat. Reading the thread, 90 plus days seems to be the standard. I noticed some people have gotten it sooner which gets me excited but others have waited longer which gives me anxiety.

Received mid April
Check cashed 6/20
Made one inquiry a month ago and confirmed received.
Does everyone get a approval email? Or does it just magically show up?
I guess there is no point calling if they just tell me my received date.
I have been following this thread about a month.
I’m seeing some very mixed results depending if you went through a medical group or did it on your own.
I filled out and mailed all my own docs
Anyone in my waiting group( mid April?)

Submitted 4/12, charged 4/16. Think that's a good sign someone on the same line just had their check cashed

I filled out my application online and they charged the $250 to my credit card the same day.
Thanks medmar. Good info
Damn that was fast!! Congrats!!
giving us some hope that maybe they are picking up speed (or maybe applications slowed down during the month of april) either way Im excited to see more april folks getting their cards already - can't wait for the june round

I signed up for the service on a monday, and I believe it started scanning and sending updates on Wednesday
I finally received my card yesterday. Total wait time was 96 days. I posted my story bout a week ago incase you want to see the overall dates and hoops I had to jump through.
Just left the dispensary, spent $101 but I got a bag of goodies, including some freebies since its my first visit... and I'm off to celebrate... I mean medicate

We are on the same timeline Tom. My application was received in "mid April" (they did not tell me an exact date). My check was cashed by the IDPH on 6/21. On 6/25 received a letter in the mail that they did not have my passport photo. I emailed the photo to the IDPH that same day. Now I am waiting. Please let us know when you receive your card.

Hi MrBonkers! I was reading your earlier post. What was the address issue? I'm worried I could run into that problem too....I finally received my card yesterday. Total wait time was 96 days. I posted my story bout a week ago incase you want to see the overall dates and hoops I had to jump through.

My application was received on April 21st, money withdrawn on April 23rd and then a LONG DARK SILENCE
Waiting is torture

Congrats, Brushie! You're almost at the finish line.My application was approved and card was sent to the printer early last week. Nothing in the mail today, hopefully Saturday yields better results.
Application submitted electronically on April 14. Talk to IDHP yesterday - was told my card was at printer and would be mailed out to me today. So 76 days for submitting app to card mailed out. Hoping to get it by next Friday. Should be <84 days all-in. MedCardClock told me July 2, so they were pretty close.

Congrats on getting closer to card in hand for you. I was curious so I checked the medcardclock site out and it says 57 days now. Seems a little too quick based on actual real world times that i've read on here though
