Perfect....

You can call them, like, right now, and see why, so you can have it ready to send immediately after you get the letter.

Reading your sig, I'm going to take a wild guess and say you applied for the 1/2 price discount for military?
Did you send them your DD-214 that says 'Honorable' as the type of discharge at the bottom, and/or a copy of your DD-256 Certificate?

I sent the DD-214 that didn't have the Type of discharge on it, That's what they got me on..

Howdy...actually, I'm currently active guard/reserve on title 10 orders, so I qualified for $0 state fee for active duty. I included a current copy of my LES and ID card with the package. Looking at my copy of the application, I see where I left a gap in employment from Nov 08 to the present. I applied online last year and got the preprinted app back from DPS, but didn't take the class and submit the paperwork until June of this year. I neglected to make the correction on the app to reflect that I was still and in fact employed by the Texas Air National Guard.

Got my letter today and I neglected to put my place of birth on one of the fingerprint cards. Live and learn I guess. I'm just glad it wasn't something worse!

I know I have a very common last name round here so I made sure to put my SSN on the 4473 to help with any confusion. Appearently that didnt work.

If you purchase any more firearms, and are delayed or denied, in order to keep it from happening again, there is an appeals procedure you can follow to allow NCIS to keep a record on you, that you are a verified eligible citizen to purchase a firearm.

Normally, each time NCIS Runs a check on you, it is treated like it is the first, and only gun you have ever bought. After the check, within 24 hours, any and all records of you purchasing that firearm are supposed to be destroyed.

The appeals procedure is detailled here: http://www.fbi.gov/hq/cjisd/nics/nicsappeals.htm" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;
Specifically, I am referring to this part:

If you continue to experience transaction denials or lengthy delays as a result of subsequent firearm background checks, you may be eligible for entry into the NICS Voluntary Appeal File (VAF). For more information pertaining to the VAF, you may contact the NICS Customer Service at 1-877-444-NICS (6427).
