    Mine is also not finished. I wonder if they delegate these out to random people on their committee and those people have some sort of time frame to verify applications at the Complete-Under Review stage.

    I may not be using first-come-first-serve based.

    i guess they are now in the initial-boom stage for crisc/cgeit apps?
    it is the 3rd week wait for me...i just can't wait to put it up on my CV
    probably the committee handles app on the top of the tray, if you know what i mean...haha

    They stated on their Linkedin forum that the global average time for CISA application processing is 4 weeks. So hopefully by next Friday.

    Diggity, to make your day better: If you'll remember a couple of weeks ago we discussed that you finished in the top 20% of those tested. You said that it was for those in your testing center that day and I thought that it was a larger comparison. I have had dialog since then with ISACA and I can confirm that it is a world-wide comparison for test takers on that day (same test comparisons of course). You finished in the top 20% world-wide, not just in LA. Congratulations! icon_thumright.gif

    Very interesting! I guess I thought they would make a bigger deal about it if it was worldwide. That's what I get for assuming. Thanks for investigating that!

    We have to investigate. After all we are I.T. auditors!

    Received email this morning:

    Congratulations! On behalf of ISACA and the recommendation of ISACA’s Credentialing and Career Management Board, we are pleased to inform you that on 6 November 2013 you have been granted certification as a Certified Information Systems Auditor (CISA).

    Guys,

    I think we all will get the cert by Dec, 31, so that you can renew it for 2014 icon_cry.gif

    even just a few days icon_cool.gif

    Matthew, in looking at your screenshot I noticed that the CPE reporting starts with 2014. I'm sure that this applies to others in this forum: If we are scheduled to take the CISM in December 2013, can we count the study time in 2013 toward our CPE goals? icon_study.gif

    But if you take exam on Dec 2013, surely the cert will be issued about/ later than Feb, 2014.
    It is no need to apply CPE in 2013. They only forward looking I think.

    I wonder if you get the Cert on Feb 2014, will it valid till Dec 2014?
    So you can save 1 year renewal cost icon_wink.gif

    actually what does it mean by "certified through 2013"?
    I have to pay the renewal fee by end of 2013 to get into 2014-2016 cycle?

    Submitted CISM application 10/15....as of today application status: unreviewed. Very frustrating!

    Hello everyone. I am filling out the admission form for western governor's university and I really need a referral to waive the processing fee. Would anyone be interested in providing me with their first and last name and email address? WGU will send you a gift certificate to Amazon for your referral. Please :)

    Hey Matthew, I was certified on the 6th of this month. Does it still say unreviewed? I'd probably email them at this point to see if something is missing from the application.
