Hello Guys,
Can anyone who’s had their work experience reviewed and approved please give me an indication of the length of time the review process takes after submission and assuming the sponsors have also made their submissions?
Thanks
 
I submitted my work experiences last month and got them approved after approximately 3-4 weeks. This is rather quick as it might be as lengthy as 8 weeks.
 
Guys,
They have rejeced a portion of my work experience for “need for more detail”. How i can provide more details, do i need to withdraw the application and update the experience, or I can just provide details on the rejected experience (how?)
Kindly advice…..
 
thnx tora_tora. i was actually hoping it might take than 3-4 weeks. we’ll see how it goes i guess.
@amit: i recall u said u had just one month left unapproved. i recommend you wait for the month to pass since if you resubmit, it may take about that much time anyway for a review to be done.. your call of course

Akinzo - what you suggested seem to be the more sensible way. My only concern is that if I ask them to update my membership in one months time, when I reach the threhhold of 48 months, they should not ask me to resubmit the whole experience again…if its just a auto-rollover than it does not make sense to withdraw the applicatin now just for that 2 months of work experience. What do you think?
Whats the process of updating the membership from affiliate (with 47 months of approved work ex) to regular membership, when my work exp increases to 48??/
Many Thanks

I recently submitted and they were turning around decisions in as little as two weeks.
Amit - I’d just wait a month. Resubmitting is easy since all your work experience is stored in your profile. I’m just a little shy of the 48 month mark to so I’ll just wait it out rather than haggle with them over what qualifies and what doesn’t.
 
my work experience review got done in 2 days. Quite surprised. However only 34months were approved. CFAI advised I wait for society review to be completed and then make an upgrade request. I’m certainly going to do that as some qualifying work experience (in my opinion) was not approved.
 
nice. My supervisor completed the formality on Monday. Expecting an email from them soon approving my work ex
 
Where do you go to see how much of your work experience was approved? I got an email 2 days after my sponsors submitted saying I was approved for Affiliate membership.
 
jdane on your account on profile - on cfai site - there is an item “Check application status”.
they provide this info. over there
 
I recently applied and after the sponsors completed their forms it took 2 to 3 weeks.
 
Have you people all passed level 3? I think I’ll wait until Monday before I send in my experience (or don’t if I fail!).
