Five Things Your Application Has to DeLIVER
Presumption: Where Your Case Starts
Which offense group your case falls into, and what the rule assumes about that group before you file a single page. Includes the 5-year and 10-year tiers, and what a permanent presumption means for your record.
Records: Certified, Not Printed
Certified court records and state police files can take weeks. Know which agencies to contact and what certification federal examiners actually require — a printout will not stand in for a certified original.
Open Items: Closed to Zero
Fines, restitution, and supervision all have to be finished and documented — not just remembered as over. An unfinished sentence means your clean period hasn’t started yet.
Omissions: Nothing Left Off
Every arrest, dismissal, and sealed matter needs to be disclosed, in any state. A gap you left out on purpose and a gap you simply forgot look identical on paper to a reviewer.
Firsthand References: Who Counts
Who is eligible to vouch for you, who investigators discount (family doesn’t count), and exactly what your references need to say in writing.
