2nd rejection fingerprints and name search

by batmik

So some of us older nurses didn't have to have fingerprints when we first passed our boards. We are having to get them now. I did them at a local Livescan and the first ones were rejected for poor quality. There were instructions to go back and have them redone(no charge) at same Livescan place. My 2nd ones were rejected for the same reason, they even list which fingers etc. If you have a second rejection you can submit a name search to the Department of Justice(FBI) and I guess they search your name. I did this in early June and haven't heard anything. I tried calling the BRN and they said they had too many calls and to call back again, didn't even have the option of waiting. I called the DOJ and was put through to someone and got their voice mail and left a detailed message never heard back.

Has anyone gone through this? How or when do I hear back. Fortunately I still have a year before renewal. I really don't want to go elsewhere and have to pay again and have them redone.

I actually was printed at the Board of Education about 12 years ago but they can't or won't use those. Any thoughts?

I heard that it might be from putting on hand lotion. That is what the livescan ladies told me. She has problems with nurses sometimes cause we wash our hand so much too.

That is good info. But my situation is that my because of the 2nd rejection I had an option of sending it in for a "name search" and I feel right now I am in limbo because I don't know the status and when or if I can expect to hear from the DOJ. I don't want to do my fingerprints over with the same livescan operator nor do I want to pay $75 again to go to another livescan operator.

Has anyone had 2 rejections and sent in a "name search"

I had mine done at a local police dept when I moved to Texas and they were fine.

i wrote a letter to the DOJ and they wrote a letter that was dated about 2 weeks after mine, however i didn't recieve the letter until about 90 days after i submitted my letter. they are super slow would be my guess.
