CityTurnedCountryMan Posted December 6, 2018 Report Share Posted December 6, 2018 Has anyone on here had an experience of positive feedback from their FEO, basically being told you have nothing to worry about and then received an issue r=or a refusal from the licencing department? I am based in Scotland Second question if you haven't had an issue what have people experiences been of time between application going to the licencing department from the FEO and your certificates arriving?

walshie Posted December 6, 2018 Report Share Posted December 6, 2018 The FEO doesn't make the final decision. That would be the Licensing Manager, but if the FEO said you have nothing to worry about I'd take that as a good sign. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
billytheghillie Posted December 6, 2018 Report Share Posted December 6, 2018 Only have had great service from Police Scotland. Remember they will do renewals first before 1st applicants. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is exactly what's playing on my mind, I think I am just worried about getting my hopes up. I am worried that just because the FEO has said he has no concerns doesn't mean that the licencing manager wont find something Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There should be no issue, the FEO prepares a report, which is then passed on to the FLM , this is the part that takes the time usually. A long delay means nothing.

I declared a medical issue but the FEO had no issues with it. I also did a full medical report and all seemed fine. Just a little worried that the licencing team may not agree Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure what you mean by “an issue r=or a refusal from the licensing department” Have you have received a letter/email from the licensing department notifying you of refusal since the FEO visit?

Rim Fire Posted December 6, 2018 Report Share Posted December 6, 2018 The licensing manager will go on the FEO recommendation thats what he is there for if he cant see an issue you will get it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jongwe Posted December 6, 2018 Report Share Posted December 6, 2018 lol - everything you are saying is pretty much a play by play of my application i.e. declared a condition, was told it should be ok by the FEO as long as the docs report matches my declaration (which it does) and now waiting around wondering. Currently been about two and a half weeks since they should have received the doctors report. I have asked the FEO to confirm receipt of the report and should hopefully get confirmation tomorrow. So, rest assured you are not alone in your musings. Good luck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
