no it was not murder or anything serious like that

I was told by nics the other day to wait to take my chl class and wait to apply for my chl during my current appeal process. I am wondering if anyone can help me regarding this matter on what to do.

I need to know if I should go ahead and take the class?

I also need to know why I had something on my record that I had paid for to be expunged and should be allowed to purchased a firearm. At first my check with nics came back delayed, then it came back denied. I immediately emailed to find out the reason. When the reason came back it was an issue that had already been expunged in California. This was not a matter where I completed probation so I just assumed it would come off of my record. I paid and filed paperwork to have the judge look at my case and I submitted the minute order I received from the Judge stating the he entered a not-guilty plea for me and that the case was dismissed. Why is nics making me have to appeal this. I recently sent the information in the postage paid envelope back to nics that shows three pages of sufficient proof that I should not have been declined the purchase of a firearm.

Is there any motivating information someone can provide me to help keep my spirits up during this 112 + or - day appeal process?

Has this ever happened to you?

Additionally by law if I would have been convicted of this matter, the law in California was that I could not own a firearm for 7 years, it has been over 10 years since this matter happened. However like I stated above I provided proof that the case was expunged and the case was dismissed.

Thank you for your time in helping to answer these questions for me. I sincerely appreciate your feedback.
