sent mine in last month(end of September) and interview still February, expires end of March
But i have to say the folks i have interviewed with made the process easy compared to the way some residents are treated in their own town

Aug 20 interview. Got my alp yesterday
6 years between interviews almost makes a MA LTC worth the hassle....in-person only every 6 years for the future depending on when your birthday is. Still have to renew every year.
Should take about 3 months after the interview. .
This year, I sent in my renewal app in early June, had my appointment in early October, and received the LTC in late November.
When I was at the interview, they gave me a copy of the new in-person requirements, and I received a copy with my LTC. So, in-person only every 6 years for the future depending on when your birthday is. Still have to renew every year.
My first year it took 3.5-4 weeks...
Interview late Sept- still no LTC. They told me it was being processed a week and a half ago, its been over 10 weeks. I need to call them again, this is ridiculous....
This is the usual hold up (DMH) I've been told.When you call them ask if they have any specific info at hand about where in the process. My initial, for example, got held up because DMH took forever to get back with a response.

Called yesterday. Guy on phone who actually was the 'interviewer' during my appt said the woman that approves the changes to the restrictions (employment to unrestricted hopefully) only comes in a couple days a week. He moved my app to the top of the pile so hopefully she'll look at it by the end of the week. Soooooo sloooooow the process this year. I didn't know there was someone specific who approves changes to restrictions. I figure everyone wants to go from restricted to unrestricted.
How often do they come in restricted? I thought they mostly were unrestricted as the whole point is to allow you to carry.
Well, you learn something new every day. Is there a way you have to go about it to get unrestricted or is it a random thing based on the guy doing the interview that day? At some point I was hoping to get out of this state and would then be stuck with a NR license.

Outside a couple of anecdotal situations, it is not random. They typically look for articulation of a specific reason why the applicant is subject to some risk greater than that of a typical person. Having held an ALP license as a resident is said to be helpful.
It is more of the articulation. I had a MA resident unrestricted for 6 years and had just been renewed for 6 when I moved. I got "sporting" my first two times, then I re-wrote my application letter. Third time was the charm, unrestricted.
Now that no interview is required, when should I apply? I used to apply 6 months before expiration, but 3.5 of that was the wait for the appointment. So should I apply 2 months early instead of 6?
Renewal app received by FRB on 4/3. Current LTC expired 8/10.
Called at 90 days and 120 days. Both times told it was in final review and would be a few weeks.
Regardless of whether or not they interview you, they're still sitting on applications and waiting. No way on gods green earth does it take this long to process an application, I don't care how many they are getting.

Check this out, might be related to the delays for NR LTCs too.
