Good luck!

They're going electronic?

When I applied last year, they asked that I give them 2 post cards. I hand delivered the package in mid October. I got the first card a week or so later saying that they received the application. I got the second card around mid-November with a number to sign up and pay on NCEES. I think the deadline was end of December or early January so it was about 4-5 weeks before close. They then sent the proof to take to the exam about 2 weeks prior to the test.

Mine went without issues. I have one co-worker who didn't hear back from the board until 4 days prior to NCEES was about to close registration. You can't sign up until then. He was calling and emailing and they just kept saying that it was being reviewed. I'm pretty sure they lost it under a desk. I also had a co-worker who had dropped off her package but had to go there to talk to them. Turns out they put her application with the wrong reviewer. The reviewer that goes with her last name was telling her that they didn't have the application.

When does NCEES close for the October exam? I'd keep that in mind and send your reviewer an email when you're 3 weeks from that. I wouldn't worry until then. You can always email or call then now but most likely they'll day it's under review.
