If an application is denied due to a minor error, what is the typical next step?

• A. Returned for correction
• B. Immediately approved
• C. Wait for a new review period
• D. The license is issued

Answer: (A)

When an application is denied for a minor error, the usual next step is to return the application for correction. This means the reviewer flags a small, fixable issue and sends the file back with specific instructions on what to correct. Since the error is minor, fixing it allows the submission to be reconsidered quickly without starting over from scratch. After you correct and resubmit, the application can proceed toward approval if there are no other problems.

Immediate approval isn’t appropriate because there was a denial, and waiting for a new review period isn’t the typical path for a fixable, minor error. Issuing the license after denial contradicts the situation.
