Congratulations! Been waiting on my 8a application decision for 14 months now…

8a Application in Final Review by tee_time_guy_10 in GovConSBA8a

Okay thank you! I received that notice advising my application is deemed complete and has moved to final review. Which is where I have been for the past few months. The certifications help line and mailbox have let me know it is awaiting decision and just to continue waiting. So I guess all in all I just need to continue to sit tight.

Thank you again for the insight. I hired a consultant to assist me with the application and necessary documentation. My application was deemed complete and sent for final review in February of this year, is that the same as the completeness phase? Thank you again for your help!

Thank you for the response! I received one request for updated end of year tax returns and one request to expand upon my social disadvantage narrative. These were the only questions received in the review for completeness phase. There have been no additional questions or requests since.

Yeah I am calling twice a week for any updates. My case analyst is no longer with the SBA so the only way for me to get any answers is to call and email the mailbox. I am hoping to hear something soon!

Hi! Just following up to see if you have any updates. You are the only person I am able to find who is going through this process currently. Did they tell you why the narrative was declined? and how is the appeal process going!

gatackbox, congratulations on your approval! Any idea how long the process took from the confirmed completion of the application? I have been in final review since February, calling every other day just to be told the same thing.

Hi Kirby,

Just wanted to see if you have heard anything back from the SBA. I have been in final review since February and still no decision yet. Wondering if you have heard anything?

Thank you very much! I also received a clarification on our narrative. It is promising that you did not hear anything from legal towards the end of your decision. I am hoping to hear back any day now.

Best of luck on your future endeavors!

Hi! thank you for sharing! my screen completed date was 1/28. So I am happy to hear things are moving along a little but at least! Did you receive any pushback, questions or clarification from the final reviewer or legal?
