AWESOME! Congrats on getting your date!

I guess today is the day for good news. I ended my day hearing they finally have my paperwork in line and I am officially "in" the registry. Now... I wait. LOL

Ok... So I was the one with "lost paperwork" so it is not accurate but I was given a timeline though fixing it.

Referal to registry (This is the ideal they aim for):
Initial fax - to - data entered from hard copy - 10 days.
Faxed confirmation of registration with the registry to the referring Doctor - Within 2 weeks of hard copy having been entered.
From there it can take weeks to months for the center you are at to get TO you depending on who is on the list ahead of you.

That said... HRRH seems to be aiming for 6 months to process if they are not needing a lot of additional tests.

Hope the timeline info helps.
