Yeah Tomek,
Unfortunately, sometimes the official end of things moves a might slower than the the rest of us. But if you hang in there I'm sure it'll come through. Of course, from my time spent in the military I did find that if you bug them enough eventually they give you what you want, even if it's just to get rid of you. You could try making a "friendly" check-up phone call daily, just to verify the current status of your case. Quite often if you sit tight and remain silent, the government officials are more than happy to do the same. Gotta light a proverbial fire under their butts once in a while to remind them that they do actually have a job to perform that goes beyond keeping a desk chair warm. Just MHO.
today i received email from NICS : "Your transaction is still waiting to be worked at this time. Voluntary Appeal File (VAF) and appeal cases are processed in the order in which they are received; therefore, I am unable to give you a time-frame on when the VAF/appeal will be completed. Due to the high volume of VAF and appeal applications currently being received as well as the scope and complexity specific to each case, the current processing time for an appeal and/or VAF request is approximately 133 days."
only 133 days. :'( Patience is a virtue. it going be very big virtue in my case. ;D
Patience and persistence. I had it happen in December, and I had received my CO CC permit 4 months earlier. (much more extensive background check as I understand) My FFL advised me to request an explanation from CBI explaining what caused this so I would have documentation if it happens again. I think they just made a mistake. I don't doubt that it's causing you some anxiety, but, be assured, you can get it resolved.

bad1972pinz - Here in Arizona if you have a CCW permit they fill out the FFL form when you buy a gun, but they aren't required to call it into NICS. Once you get the CCW you have a pass for NICS as long as the permit is valid. Isn't that the way they do it there in your state?
If the Governor signs the bill on his desk, Colorado permit holders will be exempt too. Surprised it has made it this far, democrats control both houses. Governor is considered anti-gun, hope he surprises me too.
