As most of you have already seen in (almost) all my posts I've said that I'm awaiting approval. I've been waiting since December 19th. I've considered weekends and holidays but don't you think it's been enough time for me to complain (for the third time)? That's almost 3 weeks. Has anybody gotten approved post-December 19th? Should I ask for manual approval? Am I making too big of a deal about this? It has been past 5 business days =P

i mean, its really up to you. I'd wait it out a little longer, but if your getting that frustrated just drop them a line. be kind about it, and just mention that maybe you want manual approval to avoid any approval mistakes that could occur. gratis is usually understanding and if your just e-mailing them about approval, the worst they can do is just tell you to wait longer (what your already doing).

yeah, thats the key, it seems like sometimes they put off some approvals, but when they are asked to manually approve, they really get their shit together. worked for me. just give it another couple business days. maybe till the end of this week, I'm sure they had alot of stuff from the holidays, hence the reason I'm not STV yet.

"Has anybody gotten approved post-December 19th?"

Not yet, but I've only been waiting a week and a half, since 12/27. I emailed them on Monday afternoon and politely asked them what was taking so long, and if there was anything I could do to expedite the process. I got a very nice reply, addressed with my first name (made it sound personal) basically telling me that they're going as fast as they can. I'm getting antsy, but hey, I've lived this long without one, what's another week or two! I only hope I can get it by the time I go on vacation at the end of January.

Yeah, it'd be tough to go vacation at the end of last month, wouldn't it? I was hoping no one caught that, but alas, y'all are quick.

Wow, 5 weeks? What do you think takes 'em so long? I realize that thier volume is probably pretty heavy, but hire in some temps to check out the info, and speed things up a bit! Sheesh!
