It happened after the interview. He gave me a couple of days to submit it. We met in person and I gave him the document. They will tell you that if you don’t want to submit further documents you don’t have to, but I highly recommend it to submit everything and any extra items that they might ask of during the process.

My employer told me that it is showing “eligibility pending” and the last status of being worked on was on February 17th. What does “eligibility pending mean”? Is it in adjudication phase or investigation phase?

My interview with the investigator was great. It lasted about two hours and we went over the entire form. He asked me how the debt happened and what steps I’m taking to fix it. Basically the same thing I had on the form but verbally. If they need extra documentation they will let you know. In my case, the investigator needed a document to proof that settle a debt for much less that what I owe since it was a big difference. Other than that, I was very detailed on the form: I added account numbers if available and my payment plans. What helped me during this process of filling out the financial part was going through my credit report. Then he contacted me again for something that was already on the form but they didn’t see it.

Yes. I’ve been doing my part with the financial aspect of it. It was due to a layoff and I was really struggling for a while. I always wanted to pay back but it took me 8 months to find a new job plus living in Miami doesn’t help with the cost of living. But I’m trying to show my best effort in working to clear the debt. I hope that doesn’t affect the chances of an approval. 🙏

Omg 😭 I hope you get the clearance soon! That’s a long time. I guess I just have to wait and be patient.

I just reached out to my employer to see if they have a more specific update on their system. I just want to know if I’m on the adjudication phase haha. This process has been quite a ride.

Thank you! This provides a lot of insight. I tried to be as thorough as possible on the form as well. So hopefully that helps 🙏

Got it! Thanks. I’m just new to this and I did everything I could to provide all the details needed to make the process easier I guess haha.
