I've referenced this elsewhere but here's a more specific breakdown of my timeline with Billerica:
12/23/15 Submitted app and payment
2/2/16 Received a call from PD to SETUP an appointment for photo and fingerprint. Took first available
2/22/16 Photo and fingerprints
3/17/16 Received card in the mail from the PD, issued 3/3/16. No Restrictions
85 calendar days, or approximately 56 business days discounting weekends and holidays.
Someone I know in Burlington recently received their LTC in approximately 4 weeks, PD processing was done the day the app was submitted and the info was sent to the state the same day.
Same thing for Ashland, LTC still pending (3 weeks in).
