Good luck. Hope it comes soon for you. Issue date on the card is April 20. Took 10 days to get it in the mail today

Innovative Express visit for application processing 2/23
Application confirmed by state 2/27
Approved not sure of date, but just got confirmation of approval after emailing today and it is on the way to the printer!

I live in Chicago so I'd expect it won't take 10-14 days for them to print and mail. I'll update when I see it come through on USPS Informed Delivery tool :)

Who did you talk to? When I asked I got the rudest reply, was told I’d get mine 90 days after it’s received and they wouldn’t tell me when they received it. I had my appt 2/9 and paid cash for everything up front. My background check was submitted 2/20. Ugh!

I’m in the same time frame as you, they said they started processing my Application 4/25 and I called today and she’s said 30 more business days.

I would keep calling, people that applied 2/16 are already getting their cards. You might want to ask to speak to a different employee.

Hopefully they are just padding the ETA for your card. I'll update when mine arrives with a start to finish timeline.
I never called, but I've emailed twice during the wait including today after reading the latest thread post and seeing folks approved around my time of application. Got a bounce back email and then another one 30 min later saying I was approved and it was being printed with an ETA of 10-14 business days. Fingers crossed your card doesn't take another 30 biz days!

Who did you call? The only number I have is one that says all reps are busy and to call back. Then it hangs up. I’ve only received emails back that are unhelpful and rude :(

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!

UPDATE: card approved 4/20, arrived in Ravenswood today 4/30. Good luck everyone!
