That was a renewal app. CHL-100 for renewals are only valid for 6 months, not two years. And the issue there was that the applicant had an issue and was notified that he had to resolve it within 90 days, and failed to do so. That invalidated his entire app. And therefore he had to reapply as a NEW applicant.

That said, good catch. Given that, I'm not sure that DPS would accept a CHL-100 that had been used in a prior denied app even if the reason for denial had expired, and the CHL-100 had not (and he still had an original). Bleeding edge here, best call DPS to find out. Too many variables to second guess DPS.

The problem may come up, however, in that I presume he sent his "original" CHL-100 in with his application. I'm not sure they would accept a copy (if he even had one) with a new app.

One of the advantages of applying electronically (all documents transmitted rather than mailed) is that you KEEP the originals.
