Decision Days Remaining

CFA Level III
#21

Called NYSSA and they said the CFAI portal is closed, because all us passers are all submitting the membership application at the same time lol

#22

My work exp was approved and I’m at the “under review - society” stage with 24 decision days remaining. I just called the Chicago CFA Society and they said they meet twice a month to review apps. She said she didn’t know when the next one is but it should be coming up soon.

Question for others: Does the CFA Institute send an email to you after the Society has approved your app? I’m getting sick of checking the portal every 3 hrs. They did not send me an email when my work exp was approved.

I guess I’m just being impatient.

#23

From where do we check the date the system updated to CFA? On results day it didn’t say because I wasn’t a member but today I logged in and it says CFA after my name.

#24

Did you try this page? http://www.cfainstitute.org/community/membership/directory/pages/index.aspx

How long did it take for you to see the three letters from the moment of paying membership dues?

#25

Just paid and activated my membership. My name now shows up on the member directory as a charterholder, yet I don’t see CFA letters after my name when I log in. I’m just going to use the letter anyways.

I applied last monday, Institute approved work experience on Thursday. I know a member on the board of the local society, he said it’s usually around the 30 days when they approve applications but he said he could get them to speed it up. And today they finally did so I paid my dues and now it’s official.

I also, don’t see the letters after my name but they are on the receipt for my dues so it’s legit

#31

Thanks guys

#32

Yep, looks like Chicago processed a whole batch of them today.

My work is done here as well.

Congrats, Clark.

#33

I sent my my application in the Friday before the Tuesday Results. My work exp was approved roughly the 13th or 14th and my Society review was done today. BOOM!

#34

I submitted my application last Wednesday (had to wait for my last reference). Went through the CFA insititute on Friday and got NYSSA membership approval today (not to mention my constant pestering calls…)

#35

Am I correct in understanding that once my application is submitted and I pay my dues, I can immediately begin using the letters after my name? Or is there still some turnaround period before it actually registers somehow (payment to clear, CFAI to register it, whatever)?

#36

The correnct answer should be once your application is submitted, and regular membership is approved by CFAI, then you can pay your dues. Right after you paid your dues. you need to log-in CFAI web portal until you see that three letters after your name. Then you can use the letters after your name.

If your name shows up here as a charterholder, you’re good to go: http://www.cfainstitute.org/community/membership/directory/pages/index.aspx

Work Experienced aproved.

Local Society Aproved

My name appears with a very nice " ,CFA" on website

AND I received yesterday an email from the CFA Institute ® saying I can start using the letters.

Congratz to all the new Charterholders!

#39

Had submitted my application on 15th August

Today my work experience was approved and so was my membership for CFA Institute and local society … all at one go

Paid the membership fees and the letters “CFA” against my name appeared on the Institite website almost immediately

The “decision days pending” field was never populated

Must say that the entire proces wrapped up pretty quickly even though I submitted the application after the result announcement.

Local society says decision days 0 but it’s still under society reivew. When does the 30 days expire?
