Been watching this thread to get an idea on wait times... thought others might be interested in our timeline!

I’m helping my mom get her card, and my husband will be her caretaker. My application was received in Springfield on 1/23/18 and checks were cashed (application for my mom and caretaker) yesterday 3/23/18. Hopefully a little ahead of the 80-90 day turnaround?!?

I went back a few pages and averaged the last 7 wait times. 90 day average. I’m on day 85 eagerly checking informed delivery every morning. Nothing today...

Omg the wait is over! Informed delivery shows my card arriving today!! FINALLY..I think I've had the longest wait out of anyone I seen...

NOV 28, 2017 - went to outreach clinic for EVERYTHING..
Dr was there along with fingerprinters, passport photos, n the application to the state.. the total cost for a 1 year card was 600$...
Dec 3rd the state gets the papers from the Dr BUT doesn't get the application until DEC 29, 2017 ( Now the state says that the clinic held my application for a month before they sent it because they sent them in bulk, the clinic said the state lost the papers for a month..idk what happened but I finally get in line for processing a month and a day after I filled application out...)
Anyways whatever the case my card is arriving today n I'm so glad the wait is over!!
Now anyone have any info on the good or bad dispensaries in Illinois?

Congratulations! That’s good news for me because my application was received December 29 as well! Sorry your wait was so much longer!

My paperwork was received 1/22/18, check cashed on 3/23/18. Hopeful to receive card in the next 10 days or so, that seems to be a normal waiting period. Much gratitude that this is even possible, I have no problems with the time frames experienced. People who work for the State of Illinois get enough grief from their employer, I thank them for doing the tough work of dealing with our impatience and the restrictions we all know Illinois provides.
