So I have a bit of a dilemma right now and I am looking for anybody who can give me some advice! So I received a letter stating that due to disclosure of previous discipline/conviction my application will need additional processing time. A couple of days later I received another letter requesting arrest records, court docs, a letter of explanation, etc. As we all know, it is impossible to talk to anyone from the BRN. I finally was able to talk to somebody from the BRN who then quickly transferred me to the enforcement dept to leave a message. A couple of days later I received an email stating that they saw I was arrested and convicted of Disorderly conduct and a DUI in 2004 (mind you I was 15 years old at that time). This is the first time I have ever heard of this! I joined the military in 4/2007 and had an extensive background check to obtain top secret clearance, tons of background checks for government service positions, and background check for nursing school and this is the first time I am hearing about this! So I believe it may be a human error on their part? Not sure.
Anyways, I tried calling them back several times throughout the week-no response. Sent a couple emails-nothing. I just want to get more information on what they have so I can prove that it is not me. So far, I have gone to the DMV to obtain my lifetime driving records (one from CA and one for NY). Since I live in CA, it was easy to obtain the CA one, but the most important is the NY records because I was living there when this supposed DUI occurred. The thing is I had to request the NY records by mail and it can take up to 15 business days to receive it :-/
Has anyone been in a similar situation? Also, any advice would be greatly appreciated. It has been rough the past couple of weeks and I feel helpless....Thank you in advance!
The enforcement officer that I have been communicating with stated that she has submitted my file to my supervisor, recommending approval. Her supervisor signed off on it on 2/3, then my file was returned to licensing that same day. So I should receive my letter in the mail any day now!! Woohoo! So this issue will no longer be an issue in regards to my California licensure, thankfully!
As far as the incorrect information being reported, she stated that is something that I will have to try to resolve on my own. Again, this might take update to six months or more, but I am going to do it!
