^We're guessing the employment verification is a newer requirement. He has another friend who recently got his license who didn't need the verification either. The email he received said he needs: a letter of endorsement / verification of employment. He can easily produce the pay stubs, but this verification is a bit more complicated. We work for an amusement park.

Hi friends, not sure if the answer is already here, but my friend who is also my boss is having a problem. His interview is scheduled for the middle of this week, but he can't get an employment verification. We work for a giant faceless company with many layers. He asked his direct boss who wasn't willing to give him a "letter of endorsement" because it was out of his pay grade. We have no contact with anyone above this person. There's an online verification available from a 3rd party, but that doesn't help the fact that he needs to upload this information before his interview. What should he do? I already told him to contact the CCW office, which he plans to do. We we're wondering if the Calguns brain trust has any insight. Thanks all.

As an update, I finally heard back from OCSD approving me for my license. Overall it was about 78 days, but there was about a month in between my submission and appointment because of work conflicts.

FYI, in my email it says appointments are required after 11/1 to pick up your license.

Submitted my application on 8/5
Additional information requested on 9/10
Additional information submitted on 9/23
Approval 10/22

Yes the deputy that interviewed me gave me her email address. She was very good at answering emails and keeping me informed.

Lucky! Just double checked my forms I brought with me in case I misplaced his card.. no such luck. I guess I'll give it another two weeks and then email them again. I never have success calling in, I wonder why they even list a phone number.

Your interviewer gave you their contact information? I emailed their general email almost a month ago asking a question about my application and have still yet to hear back.

Sent email to assigned investigator and email me back in 48 hours stating that

"Your application is still in the final review process"

Not sure what that means any suggestions?

Just FYI, submitted my most recent amendment on Friday and was approved the following Tuesday.

Did you receive email notification right away after your online application? I did the Amendment application a couple days ago, but didn't get any confirmation email.

You can submit them any time. Some of the trainers submit them for you.

I heard something about in some states, a veteran with honorable discharge dd214 can get expedited, or just granted ccw. Is this true? And what is CA stance on this?

True for FL. CA, not so much. Depends on IA.

FYI - Applied for renewal yesterday and submitted all docs. Was able to pay the fees ($82) online with a CC.

Is anyone waiting for longer than 60 days? I never received any emails indicating that it was submitted for final approval. All documents were submitted in early August.

Should I call to check-in?

Sure - drop them an email or call.

It means you have to wait. Could be a week or two, could be a month or two. They were kicking them out quite quickly but now it appears it's slowed back down again.

Oh wow, issued the same day as your interview?

Did your interviewer just ask you to stick around while they got it approved, or did you get a call later that day?

Hopefully that speed is a good sign for those of us still waiting.
