So you’re saying that I might get mine in the next few days? Fingers crossed. I got CC charged and initial review on the 27th. If I manage to get mine approved tomorrow, I will be thrilled.

Crossing fingers for you, friend. Might be another week or two if going by the same timeline.

Did you apply for your PAL for the first time or just upgrade from a PAL to an RPAL?
