CISSP processing time tracker

I'm trying to gauge the timeframe for approval. I know it varies and to allow six weeks. There's a good CISM tracker thread that gives you a ball park.

Anyone pass/send paperwork towards the end of December?

Passed Test 12/16/16
Endorsement 12/20/16
Received we're still processing email 1/10/17

Still pending. Will update once I receive the approval.

Hellodolly

Hi all, is the automatic email everyone’s talking about the one that reads to the effect of:

“This email confirms that ... your endorsement documentation and have placed it in queue to be reviewed”?

Is this the one that precedes the congratulatory email by approximately ten days?

Hellodolly

Quick follow up - are there two emails related to endorsements - one that says it’s in received and in the queue and another that says it’s being reviewed?

jtoast

Most people will get one that says "in the queue" as soon as whoever endorsed you submits their part. 3 weeks later you get another email stating that you are still being processed. This one is most likely automated. The next email you get is the "Congratulations you are now a CISSP" email unless there is an issue. That is the usual process, your mileage may of course vary.
