True or False: An application left pending for more than 90 days will result in failure and forfeiture of the application fee.

• A. Not specified
• B. Only if the applicant misses a payment
• C. True
• D. False

Answer: (C)

Processing rules often include a time limit to keep applications moving. If an application sits unfinished or unacted upon for 90 days or more, the file is considered abandoned and the fee is forfeited. This prevents funds from being tied up in stalled cases and signals that you’d need to start the process again if you want to proceed. So, the statement is true because the rule directly links 90 days of inactivity to forfeiture of the fee. The other options don’t fit because the rule isn’t about unspecified status, about missing a payment, or about being false—the policy is specifically about inactivity beyond 90 days triggering forfeiture.
