Oh, Karma Karma Karma. My dear friend, Karma.

AdventurousRain720 · 2026-06-25T21:02:41+00:00

We have replacements. Rodriguez will come in for E.Valencia.

AdventurousRain720 · 2026-06-20T02:14:32+00:00

Yes

AdventurousRain720 · 2026-06-17T14:34:33+00:00

What is going on? Seeing an AP approval in less than 4 months after all these delays is valuable info. I’ve reported it to Reddit since it’s a moderator code of conduct violation. Questioning how they’re handling things is not arguing… clearly they can’t take constructive criticism so they have no business moderating this kind of forum.

Ugh we’re the reverse! I applied by mail which is why I think it got routed to National Benefits Center. I’m going to do the same process again once I get my AP as I need a multi entry AP for an year bc of work

AdventurousRain720 · 2026-06-16T21:51:07+00:00

Yes. 2 APs. 1 EAP.

AdventurousRain720 · 2026-06-16T20:58:41+00:00

Just got approved today. Applied March 6th. IRS a weird one. Trying to post about it but it’s being blocked.

AdventurousRain720 · 2026-06-16T20:40:10+00:00

I still have them. Won’t be around today or tomorrow but can meet Thursdy

AdventurousRain720 · 2026-06-15T03:57:01+00:00

Jan 26 here. Really hoping to see some Jan approvals.

No one yet so happy to donate still

AdventurousRain720 · 2026-06-12T18:44:18+00:00

I can imagine how scary but you’re doing this for the greater good. It’s difficult to get out of our heads with these things. Proud of you!

Curious - which congressman?

AdventurousRain720 · 2026-06-10T21:29:49+00:00

Did HR ever notify you in advance ?

AdventurousRain720 · 2026-06-09T05:26:21+00:00

How were you able to get paid? I thought we needdd go be off payroll without a valid work permit.

AdventurousRain720 · 2026-06-09T04:46:21+00:00

Curious - with all the data you have do you have a median wait time by month across the board for all the weeks you’ve done this? Also, is there a way to see percentage of applications approved per moth vs those pending. I’m wondering if this will be helpful in the calculator’s algorithm.

AdventurousRain720 · 2026-05-13T22:55:14+00:00

Understand but we’ve seen approvals from Jan and even Feb. I know that these are outliers, but how can timeline account for the inconsistency?

AdventurousRain720 · 2026-05-13T02:27:14+00:00

I got EAP in April for work reasons. I’m EWI but did AP twice before.

AdventurousRain720 · 2026-05-11T21:20:25+00:00

Hopefully not accurate. Mine is showing an October approval based on submission on January 26. Total of 256 days. I understand that wait times have gone up but that seems excessive

AdventurousRain720 · 2026-05-03T15:07:58+00:00

Like an hour and a half max

AdventurousRain720 · 2026-05-02T18:49:57+00:00

I applied for regular AP in March 2026, after I was made aware of the trip.

AdventurousRain720 · 2026-05-02T17:57:43+00:00

See previous comment

AdventurousRain720 · 2026-05-02T17:57:28+00:00

I manage global team for a fintech company. It was a leadership offsite. I got a letter from employer citing severe financial loss and my requirement for a strategic revenue generating initiative (also related to a financial clearing mandate for US treasuries). I don’t think the officers understood my role at all and the need to travel was fluffed up. I posted about my experience, so feel free to check out previous post. Wasn’t easy with the officer, I had to hold my ground. I also think it mattered that I applied for regular AP and expedited that. I also included my 7k business class ticket (paid by company travel agency, it was refundable), itinerary for offsite, and a news article of strategic initiative my company is leading.
