Make sure you type the EXACT same name when you enter it. It is kind of confusing sometimes in IL's site. Also, it does take up to 2-3 weeks for your name to show up. You can also call the state, and they'll know.

A couple years back I was applying for a Turkey permit. It was the first yeare they did the online drawing system. Well, I kept entering my info and nothing. Finally I called the state and they told me it would be a couple weeks. Then after a couple weeks I called again. Well, I was entering the info wrong.
