I have had a UPIN for years, still get delayed days. Even had my PA carry denied (another thread here), filed an appeal, good to go. On the appeal I included my UPIN, still took a week.

OP did you apply for PA permit, if so any delay?

I get delayed about 50% of the time.
I have a far from common first and last name.
I was In the Navy from 1988-2014.
Hold a MD collectors license, USCG Masters license and a TWIC.
Held and continue to hold a TS/SCI with poly since 1992
I alway provide my SSN.

I have no idea why I get delayed so often.
Usually it's resolved within 30 minutes but has taken a day or two.

I was delayed in March 2023. Waited 5 days and picked it up. I have MD CCW, collectors license, HQL etc. I thought it was a fluke, but today (two months later) was delayed on the “NICS” again. I called the FFL from the first delay, they informed me it was still in delay. I got some results from the FBI online. How can I fix this? The experience of being delayed is comparable to having your credit card declined on a first date. The fact that it is still delayed is worrisome. I’m waiting for a knock on my door due to an error.

I routinely get delayed. Used to be anywhere from 5-7 days (some places don't honor the Brady Law and won't release even when they legally can).

I filed an appeal with the FBI and got myself a UPIN (it's a free process, you can do it online now).

Took approximately 3 months. Now I list my UPIN on all my 4473s, I get about 20% instant approval, 80% delay but the delays are much shorter. Some a few hours, longest with UPIN has been 2 days.

Funny thing is I have never had an approved until I got my upin. Either a similar name or my little discharge of a firearm charge in howard causes it. Like I never had an approved at all, always delayed, released 3 days later. Even had a shop check ncis 28 days later, still delayed. Yes I put my SS.

Once I got my upin approved in 30 seconds everytime.

I used to get delayed as well, every time.
Turns out, I'd missed a court date, had a bench warrant issued, got pulled over and arrested. I paid the ticket that evening, but the magistrate never filed a disposition on the case, so it still showed as open.
I called NICS in Wva and she gave me the name and number for a court clerk in Annapolis who was able to resolve the issue and expunge the open case.
Never a problem since.
