How long will the good cause exception application process take?
The length of the process depends on a number of factors. However, in general, it takes about two or three weeks from the time the Board receives a complete application package for Board to conduct an expedited review. At the expedited review, the Board will either grant you a fingerprint clearance card or schedule you for a hearing. If you must appear at a hearing, the process may take an additional two to four months. Other factors that may affect the length of processing time include the following, among others. • Whether your application is complete on submission. An incomplete application package will delay your appeal. • The amount of time you spend completing your application.
