thank you:) completed wg 5/12, received email saying id passed the next day, and my portal said something like "we are reviewing your information"
@zonnonomo You are welcome. :) I completed the WG test on 28 Nov. and have not heard anything yet, so I do not think that is a good sign. 😅 Also, my portal says "we are enjoying getting to know you.", so this may mean a rejection, not communicated officially yet. 😅

If that's what your portal says it just means they are reviewing ur app and wg now before any invites to TIs. I wouldn't worry tbh

why do all my apps sound good until the moment after i hit the submit button and suddenly i decide i sounded like a potato in my app
Same here lmao, idk what’s going on atp. It’s like my brains only activates AFTER I’ve submitted my app and only then will I spot 13849 mistakes and my app reads like it’s the most generic thing in all of human history… Just have to hope for the best in these circumstances I guess. 🫤​

@QuillandCounsel Hi! Thanks a lot for taking the time to reply. :) I am pretty worried as some people were sent TI invites earlier today, so I thought it was not a good sign for me and it is almost half-December. Someone who took the WG test the same day I did was sent a TI invite earlier today, hence my worries. 😅
