I faxed all my documents and the CC authorization form for $100 (self study waiver, wasn't in the mood to send the $600 upfront) on 18 Jul 2013, they emailed me at my work email on 19 Jul 2013 stating firstly that my application had been received, and then in an email immediately after that, it had been moved to the verification stage. The second email stated that my supervisor would be contacted to verify my 2 years of experience (no worries meeting this; 4 years active duty as a cyber systems operator in the Air Force [COMSEC, servers and switches, and being an Information Assurance Officer] as well as my current job working IDS). On 22 Jul 2013, my supervisor emailed me telling me that he had received an email from EC-Council and had validated my experience to them. As of today, the 29th, I have yet to receive any word or follow up. I went ahead and emailed my sales rep POC at EC-Council given that it passed the 5 work days that their processing email had stated. Anyone have any similar experiences or timeframes? Thanks for your help...been studying for this for a while now and am more than ready to test and would like to get it over with.
