Update (and again, apologies for the double post) - Here is the response that I received from the email I sent to pro reg on Saturday:

Thank you for contacting us.  The review period for Comic-Con 2020 applications began after applications closed on August 16. Due to the large volume of applicants, the processing of applications is taking longer than expected. We notify all applicants, whether approved or declined, of the status of their application when processed.

Professional Registration
Comic-Con


So...that confirms that!

Andddd update #2: And hour or so after I received the above email, I found this in my inbox:

Congratulations! Your application and verification materials have been reviewed and you have been approved as a professional for Comic-Con and WonderCon Anaheim 2020.

I’m finding it highly amusing that I got both of those emails in the same day, but regardless of that...*HAPPY DANCE!*  :D

Keeping my fingers crossed that more people hear back this week!

Congrats [member=3884]mlgagne[/member]!  One less thing to worry about.

I know your app was in a few days before mine.  Hoping to hear something soon.

I submitted mine on 7/11! So it appears that CCI isn’t processing them in the exact order they were received - but since 7/11 & 7/13 aren’t that far apart, the processing could be happening “approximately” in the order received or something like that.

We will figure out the internal mysteries of CCI one of these days, LOL!

Have to admit I was starting to get just a touch worried as more people began getting their approvals.  Now I can relax for 3 years.  Approval was received this evening.   :)

Stupid question, but as this is my first year of being Pro - how do you know it’s good for 3 years? I didn’t see any type of indication on my approval email!

It is under the terms & conditions for pros on CCI’s site!

Can you just imagine if approvals were only good for one year?  Considering the volume of applications they go through each year, multiply that by 3 and the deadline would probably have been back in April of this year to get approved for next year.  And then do that all over again each year.  On second thought, I'd rather not even think about that.

Got my approval yesterday at 5pm (submitted July 14th)!

This bit in the approval email has me a bit concerned:  "Verified and approved professionals are not guaranteed a badge for Comic-Con or WonderCon Anaheim 2020. Professional badges are available until capacity is reached. Information regarding professional guest registration for Comic-Con and WonderCon Anaheim 2020 will be provided via email once allotments are determined."

I wonder if they're changing up the badge system again.

I contacted CCI about this and they said it's something they always include in case of extreme circumstances. The system isn't changing drastically from last year. :)
