I don't mean to be a stick in the mud, and it's not that I dont love you guys, but its 7-10 buisness days which means between the 27th-30th of December, if I'm on here around the christmas holiday my fiancee will kill me. I will try to get things done sooner, but I wanted to give you a time in the email when you can be guaranteed to hear back from us.

Hope you and your fiancée had a wonderful christmas, and I wish you and everyone else a Happy, Healthy New Year.

Now, I don't mean to be a stick in the mud, and I realize that this probably turned out to be more difficult than you ever thought it would be, but you guaranteed we would hear back from you by yesterday, so how about an update.

Actually, they have until 1/3/2011 to reply back. 7-10 business days excludes weekends and holidays. Christmas Eve and New Years Eve are technically federal holidays, so yesterday would have been business day #9 and Monday will be business day #10.

ETA: I understand Voltaire posted the 27-30 of December, but this is an insane time of year for pretty much everyone. We can have a few more days of patience so they can make sure everything is in order before sending out emails.

First of all, I am just asking for an update, not the the final answer.

Federal holidays are for Federal employees. They get New years and christmas eves off this year because the legal public holidays fall on weekends.

The Legal Public holidays, the ones that apply to non fed employees, are the actual day, i.e. 12/25 and 1/1.

However, they picked the 7-10 day window based on business holidays. Businesses were open on 12/24, and they are open today.

Well, I just got my email, so the points moot. Thanks to the staff, and Happy New Year everyone.

Same here! Good luck to everyone, I hope to see all of you in May!

Ok, now that confirmations and waiting list emails have been sent out, I am going to close this topic, and here is why:

This topic was created to be a via point for us to get straight to the important questions, comments, concerns, and etc... of the AA registration and it's form. As the Alley is full, the waiting list is healthy, and the form is running smoothly now, I do not really see a point in keeping this via point open.

As always, we never delete any topic from existence in the AA forum section. We always close the topic and then after a while (mostly a day or two) move it to the archives, as there is no need for it anymore and I want to make sure a record is kept of the activities so you can refer back to them later.

Happy Holidays everyone, and please drive safely..... even though it is 54 degrees outside up here in the northern regions of Illinois.
