I bought a house in January and applied for a new LTCH(lifetime). I had a four year permit because i was not sure at the time if i was going to be a lifetime resident. I also have permits from Utah and Arizona. It took maybe 4 weeks to get my new Utah permit and just a phone call to update my Arizona . My current permit expires next month. I have sent emails because " it is the best way to get in contact" . Why the long wait and why can't talk to anyone about this? All i had to do was call the two other states(they both issue nice sturdy cards) and talk . I am sure those states also had an increase for permits. What is the hold up here ????
