Sorry to hear you have to go through this. I would reach out to Dave at first state firearms training for suggestions. Maybe he has had other students in a similar position.

Can someone direct me to the path on how to appeal a denial?

Obviously, something didn't get cleared up to their satisfaction. Did your brother ever get arrested using your name or ID?

Somehow you need to get the specifics regarding why you were denied.

Best Wishes.
