The lady I spoke with, who didn't sound to excited taking my call, informed me the my application is currently in the evaluation process and they are reviewing FBI 'background check'. So where does this leave me in the process?

It leaves you in "limbo". Enjoy working with our fine government. That same caring fine woman might be in charge of your medical treatment one day. Doesn't that sound great!
It took me five months to receive my license. The good news is I got it and the painful wait is a far off dream. You will get your license and it will be a far off dream for you too.
Stay the course!
Best regards

It takes time to check an applicant's history of posting on internet gun boards.

It should leave you pretty close. I mailed 6/4 check cashed 6/8. I got mine last week.

Be patient, you should get it soon (unless there is a problem with your background check) :thumsup

Call again and ask for a supervisor and ask them to check on your status, that you have been waiting 90 plus days. Alot of us did that and got issued the same day - received license within the week. Good luck.

Are you a Veteran using your DD214 as training document? If so I hear that it takes longer due to, They have to send off to D.C. for verification and cert. copy of DD214 status. At least that's what I hear, did not have that problem because I sent in DD214 and CCW training course cert..

 

[daytona]

I used my DD-214 and no problem, just the normal 90 day wait. :aarg

 

[nsyr]

No DD-214.

 

[MPDC66]

No requirement to verify a DD214 and IF there was, it would be in St. Louis, not Washington, DC. Even the Social Security Administration accepts photo copies of DD214s without notary or verification.

Currently on day 119. Called again and emailed. There response:

Mr. ******:

A review of our database revealed that your application was updated on
our database on 8/22/09. Your fingerprint card was forwarded to the
Florida Department of Law Enforcement (FDLE) to conduct the Florida
criminal history record check. After the FDLE record checked; the card
was forward to the Federal Bureau of Investigation(FBI) for the national
record check. The results from this record check revealed some
information that required further review.

If there is any additional information needed, we will contact you via
letter. We will not be able to provide any additional information to you
at this time.

We have 90 days from the date of a completed application to deny the
application or issue the license. Processing may take longer than 90
days if additional information regarding criminal records must be
obtained.

Public Inquiry Supervisor
Florida Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services
Division of Licensing
Bureau of License Issuance.



The only reason I would have anything with the FBI is for a Coast Guard run-in some years back. It was a routine boarding inspection and the required signal flares I had were expired. Nothing ever came of it, just an 'on file' warning.

So who knows how long it will take now????????????

 

[daytona]

This is crazy now -- others are getting permits in a week. :deadhorse

 

[nsyr]

137 days and counting.

 

[nsyr]

I am starting to think the day will never come.

I called again today and it is still in the "review process".

 

[Tic26]

did you ask to speak to a super?

 

[nsyr]

I emailed them a couple weeks ago and the response that I got back was from a supervisor.

She did mention that they have 90 days from the date of a completed application to deny the application or issue the license.

I thought it was 90 days from receipt of application.

 

[Tic26]

THere is a whole section on that that you can information from....

 

[MPDC66]

Perhaps a call to FDLE might get you a reason for the additional checks with the FBI. If not, you might consider calling Mr. Buckley or another attorney familiar with the process.

IF you were purchasing a weapon, in theory the same issue should come up and the FDLE would issue a temp. approval after a three day default period for clarification. I believe (but am not positive) you could then ask what the information was and who (what jurisdiction) submitted it. They may even be verifying that you are not the person with a similar name with serious background problems. I don't know how important it is to you or your situation but, if it were me, I'd get some legal advice on this and explore it as far as possible as to WHY.

I mailed mine in on March 16 2009 and waited and waited and did nothing because I could not get thru on the phone and an e-mail was never answered. Well I did finally get my CCW permit on September 18 2009. I guess all is well I don't need it until January 2010. Good thing I planed ahead.

Thanks Pop

 

[bigfish5]

looks like i am in the same boat, I called today and they said something came up with my fingerprints also. I am pretty confused by this. I dont think i have a record.

 

[nsyr]

Called again and was told it could take another 30 to 60 days. I told them it has been 5 months and they confirmed that they received my application 6/10. I'm thinking I should send another email but I don't know what to say. I don't know how to persuade them to step it up a notch. All they ever say is that it is "under review". It's like they send the application to some magical 'under review' room where it's not seen again for ages. Sorry about the rant, it is just aggravating.
