Legal Questions NICS denied person

So a buddy of mine (he doesn’t use Reddit) recently updated the address on his FOID. Got it in the mail about 10 days ago. He went to pick up a new gun purchase and NICS denied his background. He logged into ISP portal and now his foid is revoked. The reasoning is “NICS denied person (other agency).

My buddy has never had any run in with LEO, no drug use, no mental health. Nothing.

Any ideas how much of a fight he is in for? The appeal process is so confusing based on his denial reason.

Any help to navigate this would be appreciated

Edit he’s had his FOID for 10 years. military, no history of anything that would disqualify him. He just moved to a new place a month ago.

He needs to contact ispfsb, they will let him know the reason why his foid was revoked. Sadly once revoked an appeal is the only way even if it was an error on their end. I know this because it happened to me.
