we will see, I've learned stuff changes with the wind. Ive been told they want you to have the 60 days because of how long it takes to do the change over. If I wind up entering exempt I will go and ask before I take action. I might just wait until after the next time I fly out to work or whatever.
once my docs are "accepted" (as opposed to them requesting the same doc again) it has taken only a few days each time. This time it took longer to get the docs accepted and I don't know why.
the replies below are derps. I've never had it take more than a few days. This is just right because of the number of times they requested the same documents again.
Example: I appended the pdf for my exit flight to the pdf of my entry flight and it was kicked back. I manually added a sentence explaining that both itineraries were in the pdf and then it went through. Not sure if it was an automated rejection or a lazy reviewer.
