Well anyone paying attention, don't apply for an AFL...
Read the attached PDF...
If you apply for a WA State AFL, DOL will send your money back, When they figure out how they will do that, :scrutiny:
Everyone that has applied, fill out the form and get your money back, better yet fill it out and hope some news outlet ppicks up on their incompetence.
In other words
"Stop bugging the DOL, here's your money back when we figure out how to send it to you, shut your yaps."
DOL is trying to write off this issue by giving the funds back...
It is not about getting money back for me... I want this fixed !
Anyway...
My family & I went to the Fourth of July Parade in Johnson, Washington. My reps, Mark Schoesler, Joe Schmick and Cathy McMorris Rogers were all there participating in the parade, I chatted with them briefly.
Some of those who over heard the matter were appalled that someone who has legally been living here in WA for 8 years, 3 of which with a "green card" and who had been background checked by ICE, USCIS, locally, Federally and internationally (they check NLETS which is tied to RCMP records in Canada) had to put up with the licensing after all that.
I told Mark about contacting Alan Gottlieb and he said that was a good move and that Mark was aware of some other cases, one of which was to do with IIRC a Czech man who was a legal resident in OR that was pulled over in WA, and the WSP found a handgun in his car, he was perfectly legal in OR, of course WA State charged him with being in possession of a firearm and not a WA State AFL - He now faces deportation!
In all a good day, they all said they still had work to do on this issue and hang in there.
