I am hoping that someone here will be able to answer this question:  How long does it usually take to get any answer, one way or the other, regarding an appeal?

I wrote an appeal letter regarding a DQ letter I received in February (the DQ was in regards to an inconclusive poly- wasn't told I failed just that I had problems which I am sure that the background check would prove that there were no problems).  The person I sent the appeal letter to replied and told me that they were not the correct person but they assured me that they would pass my appeal letter on to the correct people and that I would soon be hearing from them (I have no reason to believe that they did not do as they said they would since they are the ones that offered me the job in the first place).  The person I sent the appeal letter to is in the higher management of the office I would have been working for at FBI HQ and is also the person I was told by personnel to send the letter to since my applicant co-ordinator was not answering messages (I had left 4-5 messages in a two week period with no response).  

This was over a month ago.  Is this standard for the amount of time for an appeal?  I assume that they would actually notify me one way or the other but maybe I am mistaken.  Should I send another letter to the same person in the hopes that they will try to find out what is going on (although, I don't want to upset someone I "may" be working for by sending a bunch of letters to them)?  Should I send a letter to the applicant co-ordinator referencing the letter to / from the person I contacted in February / March?

If anyone has any information regarding the length of time it takes for appeals, I would greatly appreciate the help.  And I want to thank you all in advance for any help / information.
