Come on people give us some feedback here!

It changed from what to what? I was not looking at my demographic section closely enough to know. Thanks.

[kingofspain]

I got it, too. But based on the text message I got notifying me of the change, it looks like they deleted a semicolon.

This does not strike me as especially meaningful.

[TheIdealist]

I wasn't notified of anything, but I do have my CA residency confirmed, which I thought strange. Although I haven't seen the checker in a while so that might not be new. xD

Edit: Looks like this: "Residency: Yes"

[Ghghghhhg2000]

Same here. My residency was updated to "no"...

[Elric]

So judging by the 2/17 group, one person will get the call today, and then silence until Thursday?

Good luck everyone!!!

i found this group just in time.

Hey guys - just wanted to drop in and say good luck to all the FR2s!

[jdsurf]

Did anyone from FR1 get accepted via email? Or was it all phone calls?

+1

I think it was calls for the first few batches and then when the flood of decisions came through, status checkers changed and some of them got a call from Dean Tom. One person who got in was overseas and got an e-mail, not a call.

any status checker updates (like country of citizenship popping up) that suggest acceptance or rejection?

Nothing thus far.... Some people have noticed a residency update, but mine has been displaying from the beginning, so I'm guessing its just people overlooking it.

It is far too quiet in here. Based on the prior rounds of FR decisions, this should be the day. 2012 FR2s, hold onto your hats....

[Ghghghhhg2000]

I don't have a chance and I'm still completely useless today!

I don't recall anyone that wasn't overseas getting an acceptance e-mail. IIRC they were calls spanning from Wednesday until Thursday prior to the deadline. Most went out on Wednesday, and fewer on Thursday. I received my call at 10 PST Thursday for FR1.

Status checkers did change to reflect a decision, and they explicitly stated the decision.

I'm assuming the status checker didn't change till after the call?

I didn't check mine until too long afterward to be able to tell you for sure. The decision status date does reflect the date I got the call, but I don't know if that is backdated or whatevs

[gravityrides0]

I'ma have a heart attack todayyyy
