So hypothetically my PD could approve me on paper, pending that the background check/fingerprints come back clean from the state. Then once those checks come in could essentially plug all of that info into the computer and send it off to the FRB?
Bad people are "targets" too, right??Springfield. First time applicant
Turned in application and did prints/photos on 2/15.
Picked up today 6/21. That's about 124 days.
Restrictions: Target

Approved! took 11 weeks. anyone know how long the rest of this process will take ?
the FRB takes about 2-3 weeks to activate and print LTCs and send back to the towns, they usually do them in groupsCalled today, "Your license was sent out on June 23rd, it's pending activation by the FRB...". Anyone else reach this point? Are we talking another week?
9 weeks and counting in Grafton.
6/14 - FRB said it was printed and mailed out on 6/11
It's so close I can almost taste it.
So, still haven't received my license, but I just called the FRB and they said it was already activated at the Boston PD. Does anyone know how long it takes once they activate a license to receive it? Or does anyone recall how long it took for their license to arrive once activated?

Tomorrow is week 7 for me in Lowell.. LO said 8-10 weeks. I apparently didn't have to do prints since I had an expired FID from 2003.. Just the "interview", pic and index finger scan..
Going to call tomorrow, have called twice and told still under review at PD..
Called the FRB today and my license now shows "Pending Activation" status.
Medford:
Applied/prints/photo/interview 3/14
Approved and sent to FRB 6/22
No idea about restrictions yet.
WTF!!! They sat on it for three months before they submitted it?? Were there prior legal problems or something like that, that held it up?
No issues with background.
I know they submit fingerprints in batches so it was a couple of weeks before they started working on it. All of the background check work with the exception of prints was completed at about the 5 week mark. It spent the rest of the time waiting for MSP to complete AFIS check. That part took about the 10 week period I have been consistently hearing from others.
It totally sucks. The local PD could have been a bit quicker in processing, but the bulk of the delay was MSP.
