With exam day right around the corner, Schweser's Final Review products are designed to help you finish out your study plan and walk into the testing center feeling prepared and confident.
I’d submitted my application here in India on Monday 3rd September, and it was approved on Saturday evening 8th September. I’m assuming the final ok was given by the local society, after any initial steps required by the Institute in Charlottesville, or elsewhere, were completed. Since most folks are likely tend to their local CFA society responsibilities (like charter approvals!) on a weekend, I’d suggest reaching out to your local society to get an idea of the decision timelines, should you have faced a delay.
Wtf does the society do that takes so long? Am I just waiting for some random person to click a button?
Most likely.
Is there a separate email that tells you that CFAI has approved your work experience and then it goes to the society? Or do you just get one notification that says both CFAI and the society approved it?

i didn’t get a notification, it shows ‘society review’ on my membership application

I see. Yeah mine is still under the CFAI review (sigh). They said on their website that it can take a max of 10 business days. Let’s see im already on the….3rd full business day LOL

CFA Institute approved it pretty fast but the society is taking their sweet time. I’m just impatient I guess.
Most local societies only meet once a month so you are at their mercy. Submitted mine two days after the results and I’m still “under review-society”
i submitted day after and don’t have approval. Not a big deal for me but I can sympathize with those for whom it is a big deal (waiting to apply for a job)
Submitted on Sep 5th and still under work experience review. I’m wonder what kind of inventory system they use to review the application. FIFO, LIFO, or Random? (sigh)
Under local society review now, CFAI approved. Original submission date was 9/5/18

Just got my work experience approved! Now I guess it goes to the Washington DC Society (sigh)
….runaway train never going back. wrong way on a one-way track! seem like i should be going somewhere….somehow im neither here or there…
What was date you submitted this to CFAI? I submitted mine on mid-day 09/06/18
Friday 9/7 at like 5PM EST. Are you thinking about doing the CAIA? I heard we as good standing CFA charterholders we are waived L1 of the CAIA exams.
I read about it on their website. I don’t know if I want to do such thing after going thru CPA, CTP and CFA in 3 1/2 years. I will give the kids some of my time. But you never know because I am starting feeling bored. There must something better out there for me do to than study :-)…. I think I might have spent thousands in ICE Coffee and Passion Ice Tea from Starbucks.
Band is 10 is ridiculously SUCKS ( No More- I am DONE)

Haha fair enough. This is my only designation thus far so i’m itching for a “easier” exam where I can actually utilize some of this CFA knowledge skillset :) Did you get your stuff approved yet?

I am still waiting. I though it would FIFO. Apparently this is not the case. I have seen people that applied before but still waiting. You said you applied 09/07 and approved. I was 09/06 and still waiting. Who knows why it takes so long?

I got my charter today. Took 2 weeks.
Did they mention that they’re going to mail you your full-fledged CFA charterholder designation on paper as well?

You will receive your charter in mail in 8-10 weeks after you earn it digitally.

Finally - both work experience and society approved. Took exactly one week. Over and out my friends !
