Thank you, that's what we've been looking to work out. The background issue isnt relevant to regaining his license since they are well aware of his ongoing situation nowadays, but for finding a job in the year it may be before he can fill their requirements to practice again, it's been a struggle to find a place without a background check that will hire someone with no real work experience (outside of his field.)
If you happen to know...
He went in and started the expungement process today. The lawyer there told him it should be no more than 8 weeks before he gets a notice of expungement in the mail, but we are still unclear as to when long enough will have passed to be able to apply at a job without having the record still come up on a check. I imagine the record's expungement is not immediate and so charges would still show up for some period of time after the 8 weeks. Do you know when he will most likely be in the clear to apply at jobs that require a BG check again?
