On 09 DEC 2024 I signed my VARR results and receipt of findings. I was told I’d receive my message within 1-2 weeks, I feel like my message has been received but with the holidays it just hasn’t been relayed to me yet.
My main question/concern is, what is the timeline to receive orders right now?
Also, what is the process to receive orders? Do I need to do anything?
I don’t have a “real” admin office where I work, so it’s honestly like a giant game of telephone to get any kind of information and I’ve been waiting a few weeks to get any kind of info. At this point, I’m just trying to be as proactive as possible to get this done as soon as I possibly can.
Timeline for reference:
