<p>I don’t want you all freaking out, but I explained what happens, roughly, in the comments on my post about the “view decision” thing. The “to do” lists are automated. If your documents come in electronically, our system is checking items off (we’ve taught the system how to do this). There’s a point when humans take over and the file starts to move into the review process.</p>
<p>I compared the time between your file becoming complete (the mid-year report is the only item on your list) and the review process to cars waiting on a ramp to get on a highway and while that’s not a perfect metaphor, I think it’s close. All of your files are going on a big trip with different stops and different destinations. </p>
<p>The review is going to take a while, so if you only see the MY report on your list, try to step away from the status page for a little bit and try not to fret. If we need anything else from you, we’ll be in touch by email.</p>
