Allegheny LTCF issue delays?

**bouchesner** · May 19th, 2014, 07:43 PM

I filled out the application for my LTCF permit back in February and have yet to receive any notifications on it. I have a clean record no arrests or charges.
Is there some sort of back log on permits being issued? Granted I did it by email. Should I go down in person and refile would it be any quicker?

I filed my renewal mid-March, and received my yellow-car within two weeks. While the guy at the counter said they were indeed busy (I inquired because I was surprised by how quickly mine was turned around), you probably should have had it by now.

I would call or send an email to find out if there is an issue.

Did muine by email as well,btw.

I had the same type of problem in Luzerne County. See: http://forum.pafoa.org/concealed-car...estigated.html

Anyway, after waiting about 70 days, I wrote the Sheriff a polite letter outlining the problem, and asking him if he could have someone check on it. I also mentioned the 45 day PA law.

I sent the letter certified mail, return receipt.

About 5 days later I received a call from a deputy explaining that there was a real bad guy with the same name as me. Seems that the State Police were having a problem going through this guy's long sheet to make sure none of the arrests were me. He said that he had gotten it done, and he would make sure I got my LTCF in the next day or two. And I did.

You might try the same thing.

Good luck

Allegheny County seem to be clicking along. I got my renewal at a bit over 90 days. Submitted my application twice and still have plenty of time to pick up my new one prior to mine expiring.

I applied back in march and I'm still waiting(around 53 business days so far)

If it matters, I moved a few weeks ago and began forwarding my mail to my new place, but still no yellow card at either location.
Do they still send a card if you're denied?
Does the yellow card include the name of applicant?
Is it better to wait a while longer or should I reapply?

Thanks

Have you tried the telephone? Call the sheriff's department and ask.

If you're denied, that should be in writing, so you *should* get something by mail either way.

I, personally, would not reapply if there was no decision yet. Just bad juju.

I am not a lawyer.
