I got my review email this morning too. I am mentally telling myself 4-6 weeks so anything sooner will be greatly welcomed. Not sure how the dates are going to work though, having submitted before the 26th and getting this dated the 29th. I am assuming that is still good for Rd 1. Best of Luck.

Giving myself 4-6 weeks too. If I don't hear back by early January..or the very latest, mid-January, then I'll know it's not happening.

What date did you submit? Did you get an application received or application under review email?

I submitted on the 13 with my last reco coming in on the 14 I initially got an application submitted email but just today got the email that application is going to be reviewed with link to app status website

Based on last year's forum, I'm guessing interview invites will start rolling by mid December.

if you don't mind can you post when you submitted and got your email that it was under review?

Sure. I submitted my application on November 7th, my last recommendation wasn't in until the 15th, though, and received the notification that it was under review on November 27th. I know I haven't been active on this forum but I figured this would be helpful to people. Good luck everyone!

I finished and submitted my app 11/25 for Round 1 (I was part of the National Guard response for the hurricane), but I haven't heard anything back. I got confirmation that it was submitted, but I haven't gotten the email saying it is being processed. Anyone else in that boat?
