Viper1701, you should be notified via e-mail when CCI makes the decision to approve or deny you. So I'd wait for that.

Me, I'm still waiting. I submitted on October 31 and haven't heard yet. I just looked up how long my wait was in my first year: I submitted on November 27, 2012 and was approved on April 10, 2013. And back then, they said that it would take 4-6 weeks. It turned out to be more like months instead of weeks, but at least I was approved after that.

Interesting thanks.

Anybody out there ever got a rejection email?

A friend of mine was rejected once or so we think because he just never got a reply...

So I went and looked back at my Verification Materials delivery confirmation email and the link to my letter does not work.  I emailed pressreg with my concern that if I can't see it, neither can they.  I have heard nothing back.  Still concerned about the status of my Press Credentials.  Do the links to your letters work?

Hm. I just checked, and the Jotform link indeed does not work. But it's perfectly possible that it did work, shortly after submitting. That data might simply expire after a while, but it doesn't necessarily mean that it's also CCI's source to read the letter.

You would hope that CCI took all the info they needed before it all expired.

Now heading towards week 30 since applying at the end of the first week it was open.

After four months of not receiving any response re: my application, I emailed the press inquiries address provided on the website and got a confirmation email about a week later. I assumed after not hearing for so long I'd be receiving a rejection letter, but was very pleasantly surprised. This will be my first year attending as accredited press, though I was able to use my connections to get into a couple of offsite things last year.

Same here. I received my approval on 3/8, which is after a little over four months. But I'm happy. :)

Yes, the first time I went as press it also took about four months. I think I emailed them five or six times!

Congratulations on being approved! It's a lot of fun.

True, my first time took a long while too. I guess everyone and their mother is probably applying for these things, so there's a lot to process for CCI.

Does anyone know how long it takes CCI to refund badge cost once press is approved?

Thanks.
It's been over a month and no refund. I have emailed them so hopefully they respond soon.
