Awesome! I'm glad you got it. This gives me some time-frame for processing. My RPAL application was received April 11th, and I'm crossing my fingers.

Have the charged your Credit Card yet?

Not yet, I'm checking every couple of days. I called them last month, because I thought the application would at least be entered into a system for tracking and I kept getting 'unknown' when I checked on it.
I simply don't know how these are processed. I expected some sort of data entry on receipt, but that's clearly not what's going on.

Apparently it only shows up on the website after they charge your card.

Yep, learning how their system operates, from reading this subreddit. I simply wish I'd done this years ago.

Same here man. I have quite the shopping cart of stuff I want to buy when I finally get it in.

I hope we both get the opportunity.
