Non resident LTC timeline

[Surfecho]

I mailed my application on12/22/22.
Had my in person interview on 5/29/23 and was told my LTC would be mailed in 2 weeks
After waiting 2 months I called on 8/30/23 and was told they were backed up and it should be mailed soon
So its has been over 8 months since submitting my application and more than 90 days since my interview.
Thought some other people might want to know the time for a non-resident permit

Massachusetts is great.

Used to be much better from my experience

Figured I'd give an update on my ongoing experience. Renewal sent in 8/1X/2023. According to the hotline, it was accepted 8/2X/2023. Just called and they said 90 days processing time and to expect it early December. Money order was cashed about a month and a half ago.

My non Res expired on July 20th. I sent renewal on May 20th, check cashed on June 15th......still no license in hand

My recent renewal experience (with the in-person interview):

All things, MA non-resident LTC

How do NJ residents get Global Entry then? Reminds me of a similar issue when NY DMV refused to provide records and DHS stopped processing NY applications and renewals: https://www.cbp.gov/newsroom/national-media-release/new-york-residents-no-longer-eligible-apply-or-renew-trusted For those...

Latest update on my LTC status. It is now over 5 months since my interviewing almost 11 months since submitting my application. I called about about 10 days ago and was told the person who did the interview was backed up. Said he would call her and have it taken care of by the end of the week. And I also understand the Easter Bunny will deliver it to me. Just more BS from Mass

My understanding is that those nonresident licenses are only valid for a year. If it is taking this long, and they have affectively borrowed you from carrying. Essentially, you are up for renewal now, correct?

I am moving out of this shithole soon. I will not be getting a nonresident license to carry because I will never set foot in Massachusetts again. I don’t care what happens to anyone in the family. I am not coming back once I get to Tennessee.

Just received my Mass non-res LTC in the mail. They cashed the check on June 15th

Was the expiration date one year from when the previous LTC expired, or is the expiration date one year from when they issued and sent it to you?

Someone needs to file a federal lawsuit against MA over this nonsense.

I mailed my application October 14th, today I got an e-mail for an appointment August 5, 2024. Assuming 8 weeks after that, it will basically be a year since I mailed it. I’ll basically have to put the 2025 renewal in the mail the day I get the 2024, assuming I even bother.

I'm going in for my interview next week. My application was sent in in March I think.

new expiration date of Oct 31, 2024. So it's one year from date of issue

Went in for my interview today at the FRB in Chelsea. Got there around 11:10 AM for an 11:30 AM appointment. Free parking in the parking lot down the street one block was a plus.

Security ran my belt, cellphone and US quarter through a TSA like scanner. The guy then ran a wand over me. After that a nice YL took me upstairs (right on time) for the "interview" and fingerprints. Didn't ask any questions about "why I want the license" or anything like that. In 10 minutes the meeting was over.

She said I should get my non-resident license in 60 days.

Did you respond “yeah, and I believe in to tooth fairy”?

Received my LTC on December 23, 2023 finally. Kids tossed it in a pile of Junk Mail and I didn't find it until earlier this week. LOL

Is any of this going to matter if the current bill is passed?

For what its worth, I send in my renewal every 6 months to ensure I get it back before expiration.
