Appealed the decision of my denial, Had my hearing on the 12th of January. The judge sided with me and my evidence that I could clearly exercise sound judgement. Now I have to wait until they process it and print it on plastic!

So how bad is it when it goes to them? I was placed under observation a little over 3 yrs ago and I was diagnosed with depression "Post active duty." Meds were too expensive and I quit going to the Dr. I also quit drinking shortly after and have never felt better.

I sent my paperwork the 27th of June by email, It was received on the 29th. The Status hasn’t changed from message below: CHL APPLICATION STATUS: If you have a pending CHL application, please allow sufficient time for processing. If you have not already done so, please submit all of the items listed...
