When programs log on to the website, we see this long list of applicants with several data columns. One of the columns is "Available Date". If that is blank, that means that SF Match has received some or all of your application but it is not fully processed yet and not available for us to view. Fully viewable applications have a date there, obviously. There is also a check box in front of the applicant names, and we can check those boxes and then send emails through the SFMatch site. I prefer to send from my own email program so that I have a record of my emails sent, but I suspect that someone may have just selected "all" those check boxes to send out a verification of receipt, even though the "Available Date" column is still blank for some applicants.
I just checked my database a few minutes ago and the latest date showing in my available files is 8/23, but there are at least another 20 that are in the list, just not available (uploaded) yet. I received 3 batches of files dated 8/22 and 1 batch dated 8/23. Hope none of you mind me popping in here, but I get the stress you all are feeling and just thought some inside scoop from the program point of view might help. Have a good weekend everyone!
