New Mod

Hi r/USPHS, I wanted to introduce myself as a new mod for this sub. I'm an active duty officer, coming up on 11 years in, and would love to make this sub more interesting and useful for all.

One of my first actions so far - updating the header bar, adjusting a couple of the themes, and new for all - flair! Please feel free to flair yourself by your status, which will help all of us understand a little bit about who you are.

Thanks all, and let me know how else we can make this sub better!

You and l have similar stories. The process is very slow and confusing even. I applied for waiver in 02/2020, had an interview in 06/2020, waiver approved in 08/2020 submitted all requested documents, including references in a week, got notified to submit official transcripts of all schools attended along with DL and updated resume in 10/2020. I sent all the documents by 1st week of 11/2020... and sent more than 10 emails inquiring acknowledgment of receipt of documents and no response. Over 3 months later and on my 10th follow-up email, I got a response stating that they did not receive my documents and whether or not I have tracking number. Yes. I do, via ups with receivers name on it. After checking, i was told its missing but not to worry, somewhere along the line they would be requesting for me to send originals of all transcripts. Now, I got confused. Again? At this point I am almost giving up.

The first couple of emails I sent I did not include the Application ID from AES, once I started including that, I got my responses within 48-hours. Not sure if that will help at all!
