Security clearance at the uppermost level.
Was placed on the no fly list after 911 as was my boss (3 star).

Instant approval every time!

I am native Oregonian, but I lived/worked in the Seattle area for 25 years.
I do have an extremely unique name - maybe 25-50 people in the USA have the same first and last name and all of them are probably the opposite gender to me - I doubt anyone has the same middle name as I do (it is a very unique family name my mother decided to pass down for some reason I don't understand while my brothers got conventional middle names like "Gene" and "Wayne").
Anyway, that and my SSN has usually resulted in a fairly quick approval (I don't have a CHL) - of less than 30 minutes, although once it took several hours - usually the approval happened almost instantly. I have military service and later a DoD Secret clearance with no issues.
It is all just theory - I would have to be privy to the inner workings of the OSP systems to understand what works and what doesn't, and I would think that the OSP doesn't want anyone outside the system to know how it works - for various reasons.

My name isn't common, but I was born in Gresham and save for a few years spent in WA, have been in Oregon the majority of my life.

Doing privet transfers/sales etc is not my MO with my FFL, I am an 07/02, manufacturing is my focus building items marketed to LE. But with the current state of things I have been helping those that I know get what they want before the deadline. (07 FFL can do everything an 01 FFL dealer can, but also actually make firearms/NFA items to some degree)
This week:
Every CHL holder but one cleared in minutes, one fell into the Que but put in the 4000's vrs the back of the line at that time in the 20,000's. However that was a privet party transfer vrs. New purchase.
The crappy one was the retired LE, that still trains with his department and has his LE card so no need for CHL. Ya since no CHL he went back of the bus in the que. And he is probably the most cleared and proven person to LE than anyone. He knew it was going to be that way.
No idea just how OSP's system decides.
